Call the Google ad API and get JSON back in one request. 1 credit per call. Failed calls cost nothing. Returns a Google ad's details. The ad is identified by its URL or ID. ## Request Exactly one of `adUrl` or `adId` is required. A request that sets both, or none, fails with `invalidRequest`. ```typescript TypeScript icon="https://mintcdn.com/sirathic/7E4w9-IC4ysabjfc/images/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=7E4w9-IC4ysabjfc&q=85&s=d8272a85e64145620f1fbbfcf7932986" theme={null} import { Stophy } from "stophy"; const stophy = new Stophy({ apiKey: process.env.STOPHY_API_KEY }); const result = await stophy.google.ads.ad({ adUrl: "https://adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/AR18378488041124659201/creative/CR12345678901234567890" }); console.log(result.data); ``` ```python Python icon="python" theme={null} from stophy import Stophy stophy = Stophy() # reads STOPHY_API_KEY result = stophy.google.ads.ad(ad_url="https://adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/AR18378488041124659201/creative/CR12345678901234567890") print(result["data"]) ``` ```bash cURL icon="terminal" theme={null} curl -X POST https://api.stophy.dev/v1/google/ads/ad \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $STOPHY_API_KEY" \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ -d '{"adUrl":"https://adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/AR18378488041124659201/creative/CR12345678901234567890"}' ``` ```bash CLI icon="square-terminal" theme={null} stophy google ads ad --adUrl https://adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/AR18378488041124659201/creative/CR12345678901234567890 ``` ## Response If successful, the response body contains the standard envelope. `data` contains the ad's advertiser, format and creative, and the countries it ran in. The following example is a real response, truncated: each list shows one item and long strings are cut. ```json theme={null} { "success": true, "data": { "adId": "CR00462730911658541057", "adUrl": "https://adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/AR16735076323512287233/creative/CR00462730911658541057", "advertiserId": "AR16735076323512287233", "advertiserName": "Nike, Inc.", "advertiserUrl": "https://adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/AR16735076323512287233", "format": "text", "lastShownAt": "2026-10-05T20:27:35.000Z", "imageUrl": "https://tpc.googlesyndication.com/archive/simgad/5743239130676952852", "advertiserCountry": "US", "advertiserIsVerified": true, "paidBy": "Nike, Inc.", "variations": [ { "imageUrl": "https://tpc.googlesyndication.com/archive/simgad/5743239130676952852" } ], "regions": [ { "country": "US", "lastShownAt": "2026-09-01T00:00:00.000Z" } ] }, "creditsUsed": 1, "requestId": "2fe9dbad-fc48-4890-9751-0b24b596035b" } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | - | - | - | | `lastShownAt` | string (ISO 8601) | The last day the ad was shown. | | `paidBy` | string | The entity that paid for the ad. | For every field, see the response schema on this page. ## Optional parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | - | - | - | | `advertiserId` | string | Advertiser id, such as `AR18378488041124659201`. Requires `adId`. A link already has it. | ## Billing Each successful request consumes 1 credit, regardless of the number of items returned. Requests that fail, or that return no items, are not billed. ## Pagination This method is not paginated. A single request returns the complete result. ## Related methods * [Google ads search](/api-reference/endpoint/google-ads-search): Accepts the `advertiserId` as `advertiser`. Searches ads in the Google ads library. ## OpenAPI ````yaml api-reference/openapi.json POST /v1/google/ads/ad openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Stophy API version: '1' description: >- Every endpoint is a POST that takes its input as a JSON object body. Unknown fields are rejected with 400. Responses leave out empty values: null, empty strings, empty objects and empty nested lists are not sent. x-credits is what one call costs. Every call costs the same, whatever it returns, unless an operation's description says it costs per 10 results, or per second of audio. Then x-credits is the lowest price and x-credits-max the most one call can cost. Where an operation takes limit, send it to return fewer results and pay for fewer. When a response has a cursor, send it back unchanged with the same input to get the next page. When it has a page, send the next page number. servers: - url: https://api.stophy.dev security: - apiKey: [] paths: /v1/google/ads/ad: post: summary: Get a Google ad's details description: Costs 1 credit per call. operationId: googleAdsAd requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: adUrl: type: string description: >- Link to the Google Ads Transparency ad, like https://adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/AR18378488041124659201/creative/CR12345678901234567890.
