Meta ads

What the district runs on Facebook and Instagram — the other half of the paid picture next to Google.

WAITING ON A CONNECTION

Meta Ad Library is not connected yet

Meta's Ad Library is public and covers all 10 rivals, but the API needs an app token and the web view is built to resist automated reading. The credential is currently blank, so this page shows nothing rather than guessing at what the competition runs on social.

Needs: META_ACCESS_TOKEN — a Meta app token with ads_archive access

TO CONNECT IT

  1. 1

    Create an app at developers.facebook.com and add the Ad Library API

  2. 2

    Generate a long-lived access token with ads_archive permission

  3. 3

    Add it to the collector environment

    META_ACCESS_TOKEN=... in .env.local

WHAT LANDS HERE

  • · Every active ad per rival, with creative, copy and how long it has run
  • · When a competitor launches or pulls a campaign, the day it happens
  • · Which offers get paid social support and which are organic only
  • · Meta activity next to Google ad volume, per store

The page stays empty until the connection is live. Showing an invented figure here would be worse than showing nothing.
