What Google Ads Transparency cannot give is marked.

nullFields Google Ads Transparency cannot give

Read null as “Google Ads Transparency did not give this”, not as zero. These are always null on this call:

  • titleThe entry's title or name.
  • fields.textThe ad's body text.
  • fields.landing_urlWhere a click on the ad leads.
  • fields.advertiser.urlThe advertiser's page on the platform.

Every item also has platform, id, ref, approx and type; the response around the items is the same on every call. Response format

What to expect.

One call returns a page of up to 40 items. When page.has_more is true, send page.cursor back as cursor for the next page; each page costs 2 credits and a cursor works for 30 minutes.
A call that runs and finds nothing is a successful call: status is "empty", items is empty, and it costs 2 credits.
On this call Google Ads Transparency cannot tell a post that does not exist from one with no data: both come back as empty, and both are charged.

1 call per second per key, 5 after a purchase; going over is not charged. Rate limits

A failed call costs 0 credits and is never retried on its own. Error codes

Questions.
Short answers.

Everything on Google Ads Transparency
Do I need a Google Ads Transparency account or Google Ads Transparency's own API access?
No. You only need a SocialToAI key. The call returns content and account information publicly visible on Google Ads Transparency; you never sign in to Google Ads Transparency or apply for anything there.
What does “Preview” mean here?
Preview: this interface is not marked stable yet, so its parameters and fields may still change. It is charged like any other call, and a failed call is not charged.
