# Facebook Ad Library Search Companies API

`GET /v1/ad-library/facebook/search-companies`

## Request

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

Find Meta Ad Library pages by brand — name-matched, pageId for company-ads (not profileId).

Search Meta Ad Library advertisers/pages by brand name. Results are relevance-filtered so query tokens must appear in the page name — off-brand pages that merely appeared near the keyword (e.g. Sukeban for q=nike) are dropped; empty beats spam. Each company returns id = pageId = advertiserId (pass to /facebook/company-ads), profileId when the facebook.com/{digits}/ URL uses a different numeric identity, vanity or numeric url, logo, and libraryUrl (ready view_all_page_id link). Chain: search-companies → companies[0].pageId → company-ads?url=. Flat 2 credits.
