# Google Ads Library API

Extract ads from the Google Ads Transparency Center for any advertiser or website: format, first and last shown dates, countries with impression ranges per country and per Google surface, and ad text, link and image

**Pricing:** $0.002 per ad

**Endpoint:** `POST /v1/data/google-ads/ads/run`

**Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer mk_live_...`

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `domains` | array | No | Advertiser websites to find ads for, one per line, e.g. nike.com. A bare host or a full URL both work; returns the ads Google shows that send people to that site. |
| `advertisers` | array | No | Advertiser names (HubSpot) or Google advertiser IDs (AR13611357312189988865), one per line. A name matches up to 3 advertiser accounts, which share that name's share of Max Results. Not a link: use Domains for a website. |
| `country` | string | No | Only ads shown in this country. Any country by default. |
| `maxResults` | integer | No | How many ads to return in total. Defaults to 100; use 0 for all. |

## Example

`?wait=true` holds the request open until the run finishes (up to 60s) and returns the rows inline: one request, no polling.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.mindcase.co/v1/data/google-ads/ads/run?wait=true" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mk_live_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"params":{}}'
```

```python
import requests

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.mindcase.co/v1/data/google-ads/ads/run",
    params={"wait": "true"},
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer mk_live_YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={"params": {}},
)
rows = resp.json()["data"]
```

## Longer runs

If the run is still going at the 60s ceiling you get back `{ job_id, status: "running" }` instead of rows (same if the result is over 100 rows; those come back `truncated`). Poll with that `job_id`:

```bash
# 1) check status
curl https://api.mindcase.co/v1/jobs/JOB_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mk_live_YOUR_API_KEY"

# 2) when status == completed, fetch the rows
curl https://api.mindcase.co/v1/jobs/JOB_ID/results \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mk_live_YOUR_API_KEY"
```
