Frequently Asked Questions
Does this scraper require Facebook login cookies or burner accounts?
No! Our engine solves Meta's unauthenticated `/__rd_verify_` challenge handshake and queries `AdLibraryFoundationRootQuery` directly without requiring any Facebook login or cookies.
Can I filter strictly for profitable 'winning' ads?
Yes! Pass `"minDaysRunning": 14` or `30` to return only evergreen ads that advertisers have kept active for weeks or months.
