# Facebook Company Ads API

`GET /v1/ad-library/facebook/company-ads`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.captapi.com`
- URL: `https://api.captapi.com/v1/ad-library/facebook/company-ads`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`

Ads for one Meta page — active by default, cursor through the HTML batch, same envelope as /facebook/search.

List ads for one Meta page/advertiser. Prefer pageId (or libraryUrl) from /facebook/search-companies. status defaults to ACTIVE so the first page is what the page is running now — use ALL for historical/inactive variants (collation siblings share copy and consume a limit slot). A limit above 30 also scrolls the library past Meta's first ~30 ads, up to ~70–80 per call (~45–60s). nextCursor pages that fetched batch; hasMore is true only when nextCursor is present, and null with truncatedReason=library-page when the batch is spent but Meta still has more ads. searchResultsCount is Meta's upstream match count; retrievableCount is how many ads this cursor walk can actually return. A search-companies libraryUrl with active_status=all is rewritten to the requested filter. Flat 2 credits native.
