Collecting 1,000 ads takes about 25 calls, $0.10 in total. Each page is a separate call; failed calls are not charged. ### How do I get the next page? Pass page.next_cursor from the response back as the cursor parameter. When page.has_more is false there is nothing left. Every page is its own call at $0.004. ### Do I need a Google Ads Transparency account, cookies or a QR login? No. You send only your okdata API key. The data is public data from Google Ads Transparency; nothing is fetched with your own Google Ads Transparency account. ### Am I charged when a call fails? No. Every error response says charged: false, except a timeout, which says charged: null until the outcome is known. Resend with the same Idempotency-Key and you are never charged twice. ### What if Google Ads Transparency does not show a field? The field is null, and meta.unavailable names it with the reason: platform (the platform never shows it) or capability (we cannot fetch it yet). ## More Google Ads Transparency endpoints - [Google Ads Transparency advertiser search](https://okdata.online/apis/google/advertisers/search/): $0.004 per call · about 10 advertisers per page ## Answers that use this endpoint - [How do I see all the ads a competitor is running on Meta, Google and TikTok?](https://okdata.online/answers/competitor-ads-meta-google-tiktok/): Query each public ad library under the name the competitor has there (its Facebook page on Meta, its website domain on Google, its advertiser name in TikTok's library) and merge the results into one table. With okdata a weekly sweep of one competitor costs $0.028, and ten competitors every week for a month cost $1.12. - [How do I export a competitor's ads from the Google Ads Transparency Center?](https://okdata.online/answers/export-google-ads-transparency-center/): The Transparency Center website has no export button and Google publishes no API for it; its BigQuery dataset only covers ads shown in the EEA and Turkey. okdata finds the advertiser for $0.004 and lists its ads 40 per page for $0.004, so exporting an advertiser with 600 ads costs $0.064.
