## FAQ

### How do I list all ads from a Facebook advertiser?

Send a GET request to /v1/facebook/adlibrary/company/ads with either pageId or companyName. SocialCrawl returns every ad the advertiser has ever run, with creative, status, spend range, and impressions metadata.

### What filters can I apply to narrow results?

Filter by country (2-letter code), status (ACTIVE/INACTIVE/ALL), media_type (IMAGE/VIDEO/MEME), language, date range (start_date, end_date), and sort_by (total_impressions or relevancy_monthly_grouped).

### How much does listing competitor ads cost?

Each request costs 5 credits on the advanced tier and returns a batch of ads with pagination. Trim responses with trim=true to save on payload size. New accounts get 100 free credits — no credit card required to start.

### Can I track a competitor's ad strategy over time?

Yes. Pair start_date and end_date with sort_by=relevancy_monthly_grouped to see how a competitor's ad spend and creative strategy have shifted month by month. Perfect for competitive intelligence dashboards.

### Does it work for SMB advertisers or just big brands?

Both. The Facebook Ad Library includes every advertiser that has ever run ads on Meta platforms, from solo founders to Fortune 500 brands. If they've run an ad, you can pull it via pageId or companyName.
