Facebook Ads Library Scraper

Facebook Ads Library Scraper is a reusable BrowserAct template for collecting structured records from public Facebook Ads Library pages. Configure the run inputs, start the Bot, and receive consistent output for research, monitoring, enrichment, or downstream automation without writing selectors or scraper code.

What Does BrowserAct Facebook Ads Library Scraper Do?

The Bot starts from your configured inputs, opens the relevant public Facebook Ads Library page, loads the requested records, extracts the visible fields, and returns structured results. The default example uses Claude Code for Search Keyword, but the input can be changed before each run.

Step 2: Let BrowserAct build and test the Bot

BrowserAct explores the live website, determines the navigation and extraction path, and validates the result. Reply in the same build conversation if the Agent requests a missing public URL, field, or expected output.
