# Advertiser search API

2 endpoints on 2 platforms return the same Advertiser object. The advertisers of a public ad library that match a name. Every call costs $0.0020; a failed call is free.

## Advertiser search on each platform

| Platform | Endpoint | Path | A page | Returns | Price |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Google Ads | [Google advertiser search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/google/advertisers/search.md) | `GET /v1/google/advertisers/search` | 10 | Advertiser list | $0.0020 / call |
| Meta Ad Library | [Meta advertiser search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/meta/advertisers/search.md) | `GET /v1/meta/advertisers/search` | 15 | Advertiser list | $0.0020 / call |

Prices are the prices in force. A call that fails, or whose result is uncertain, costs nothing.

## The Advertiser object

Every endpoint above returns these fields, with the same names and types.

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | text | ID; pass it unchanged to the advertiser's ads endpoint |
| `name` | text | Name |
| `avatar_url` | link | Picture or logo |
| `region` | text | Code of the country or region the advertiser is registered in |

### Which platform fills which field

A field an endpoint cannot give is listed in `meta.unavailable` on every answer, so a gap is never a surprise.

| Platform | `avatar_url` | `region` |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Google Ads | not available | available |
| Meta Ad Library | available | not available |

## The same call on two platforms

Same parameter names, same paging, same answer. Only the path changes.

```bash
# Google Ads
curl -G "https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/google/advertisers/search" \
  --data-urlencode "query=nike" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DATAXAPI_API_KEY"

# Meta Ad Library: one word changes
curl -G "https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/meta/advertisers/search" \
  --data-urlencode "query=puma" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DATAXAPI_API_KEY"
```

Google advertiser search: From a response recorded 2026-10-12 21:58 UTC. Names, text and IDs are examples, and so are the links: none is the recorded one (the page shows no one's personal data); the figures are as recorded. Long lists are cut. The request ID, cursor and balance are made up.

## Questions about the Advertiser search API

### How much does it cost?

$0.0020 a call on Google Ads, Meta Ad Library. You are charged when data comes back; a failed call costs nothing. No subscription, no monthly minimum.

### Does every platform fill every field?

No. 2 of the 4 fields are missing on at least one platform; the table on this page says which. A field an endpoint cannot give is named in `meta.unavailable` on every answer, never filled with a guess.

### Do I need an account on the platform?

No. One DataXAPI key reads all 2 platforms. No platform account and no cookie.
