Meta Ad Library ad spy: sort Facebook ads by how long they have run, spot scaling creatives, export CSV, bulk download. Free trial. The Meta Ad Library shows you every ad an advertiser is running. It just will not let you sort them, filter them, or get them out. AdLib fixes that. It is free, needs no account, and never asks you to sign up. WHAT IT DOES • Load an advertiser's whole catalogue in one go Auto-scroll pages through the results until there is nothing left, so you are working with all of an advertiser's ads instead of the first handful. It makes no extra requests of its own; it scrolls, and the page loads as it would under you. • Sort by how long an ad has been running The Ad Library knows the start date but will not sort by it. AdLib will, so the ads that have survived longest float to the top. • Find the creatives an advertiser is actually scaling Meta reports how many ad sets share each creative. One ad set means they are testing it. Several means they are backing it with budget. AdLib turns that into a filter, so you can look at only the creatives an advertiser has committed to. Nothing else in this category shows you this. • Search everything that has loaded Advertiser, ad copy, product names on catalogue ads, landing domain, ad id. All in one box. • See where every ad points The landing domain on every ad, plus a filter for URLs containing whatever you are looking for. Ad-network redirect links are labelled as redirects rather than passed off as the real destination. • Export to CSV Nineteen columns, opens cleanly in Excel and Google Sheets. Long ad IDs stay intact instead of being mangled into scientific notation. • Bulk download creatives, foldered by brand Images and videos saved straight from Meta to your computer, sorted into a folder per advertiser. Throttled, cancellable, and it skips duplicates across reused creatives. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO, AND WHY AdLib does not put a spend number on every ad. Meta does not publish spend for commercial ads. It publishes EU and UK REACH, one ad at a time. Any spend figure is reach multiplied by two guesses — frequency and CPM — and lands in a range about five times wide. Tools that print a confident euro figure on every card are showing you that guess wearing a suit. What AdLib does instead: ask for reach only when you press the button, one ad per second, on your own Facebook session, with a counter and a stop button. Slow on purpose. Firing hundreds of requests at once is how people get their Facebook account rate-limited, and it is not our account to spend. PRIVACY AdLib has no server and sends your data nowhere. It runs only on the Ad Library page and stores nothing but your own filter preferences, on your own computer. The one time it requests anything is the reach button described above, and only when you press it: it asks facebook.com, on your existing session, one ad per second.
