Use the DataXAPI endpoint meta.ads.get (Meta ad detail). Get one ad of the Meta Ad Library by its library ID or link: advertiser, text, headline, images and videos, landing page, first and last day shown, the platforms it is delivered on, and whether it is still running.
Call GET https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/meta/ads/get with the header "Authorization: Bearer $DATAXAPI_API_KEY". Read the key from the environment variable DATAXAPI_API_KEY; never write it into code.
Parameters:
- id: The ad's Library ID, a string of digits. Example: 1466307095509411.
- url: The ad's link in the library, written facebook.com/ads/library/?id= and the ID. Example: https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?id=1466307095509411. Full link: https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?id=1466307095509411.

- fields: Return only these fields. Each by its path, such as author.name.
Price: $0.0020 per call. Errors, timeouts and objects that do not exist are not charged.

  --data-urlencode "id=1466307095509411" \
