Query parameters
Useful optional inputs
region— Select the documented source market or request location.Read this endpoint’s region semantics; it does not generally prove creator residence.
cursor— Continue the same source traversal with the complete returned cursor.Saved-result retrieval and a new source page can have different prices; quote the next call.
dry_run— Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work.Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

Response fields and example
This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.
{
"success": true,
"platform": "google_ads",
"endpoint": "/v1/google_ads/company-ads",
"data": {
"dropped": 0,
"items": [
{
"ad_url": "https://example.com/example",
"advertiser_id": "example",
"advertiser_name": "example",
"creative_id": "example",
"first_shown": "example",
"format": "example",
"last_shown": "example",
"platform": "example"
}
]
},
"credits_used": 4,
"credits_remaining": 99,
"request_id": "req_…",
"cached": false
}The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.
Schema basis: observed response shapes, not an exhaustive field specification. See schema coverage and validation limits.
Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.
| Field inside data | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
dropped | number | null | Optional dropped supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items | array | null | Returned records. Source coverage and completeness vary. |
items[].ad_url | string | null | Optional ad url supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].advertiser_id | string | null | Optional advertiser id supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].advertiser_name | string | null | Optional advertiser name supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].creative_id | string | null | Optional creative id supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].first_shown | string | null | Optional first shown supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].format | string | null | Optional format supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].last_shown | string | null | Optional last shown supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
items[].platform | string | null | Optional platform supplied by this operation. Null means unknown. |
Optional fields reviewed from preserved successful responses. Additive fields and source variations remain allowed; validate the fields your workflow requires.
The example is invented and illustrates types only; zero and empty values are not claims about a real result.
Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
