What is the Google Ads Transparency Center?
It is Google's public database of the ads verified advertisers run across Search, YouTube, Shopping, Maps and Play, at adstransparency.google.com. It shows each advertiser's verified name, their ad creatives and when each ad was shown. Google keeps about 12 months of ad history there.
What can I search by?
A website domain such as nike.com, a company name, a Google advertiser ID that starts with AR, or a Transparency Center link. The search works out which one you entered. A domain finds every advertiser using it, and a company name can match several regional advertisers.
Is there a Google Ads Transparency API?
The Google Ads Transparency Scraper on Apify works as one, since Google publishes no official API for the Transparency Center. Send it domains, company names or advertiser IDs through the Apify API and get clean JSON back, on a schedule or from your own code.
Is it legal to search the Google Ads Transparency Center?
The Transparency Center is a public database Google provides for transparency, and the tool reads only publicly available data with no login. Make sure your use complies with the laws and Google terms that apply to you. You are responsible for how you use the results.
