## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Video Ad Analyzer API – Competitor Ads: Hook, Angle & Script

> **TubeText** · Video & ad analysis · Pay per result. No login. Ready for AI agents. [All tools](https://apify.com/tubetext)

### Quick start (no coding)

![Video Ad Analyzer quick start: click Try for free, paste your input, click Start, export to Excel](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LMSlay/tubetext-assets/main/video-ad-analyzer-quickstart.gif)

1. Click **Try for free** at the top of this page. A free Apify account is enough – it includes monthly credit.
2. In **Brands, domains or Google advertiser IDs**, paste one brand per line – a website domain works best (like `grammarly.com`).
3. Click **Start**. Usually a few minutes for 10 ads.
4. When it says **Succeeded**, open the **Output** tab and click **Export** → **Excel** (or CSV). One row per ad: the hook, angle, offer, call to action, script and shots.

**Cost:** $0.05 per ad – 10 ads from one brand ≈ $0.50. Image and text ads are skipped for free.

**Common mistakes**

- A brand name finds the wrong company → use its website domain instead.
- No ads found → try another **Region**; Google only lists ads by the country where they were shown.
- Want Facebook and Instagram ads → put the brand in **Brands or Facebook pages (Meta Ad Library)** (≈ $0.05 per ad analyzed + $0.003 per ad fetched).

**Questions or problems?** [Open an issue](https://apify.com/tubetext/video-ad-analyzer/issues) (we read every one). **Need a custom version?** Ask in an issue or [email us](mailto:tubettext@gmail.com) – we build it as a private Actor on Apify.

### Use from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client

Add `https://mcp.apify.com?tools=tubetext/video-ad-analyzer` as a remote MCP server and sign in to Apify (Claude: **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector**). Claude Code:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http tubetext "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=tubetext/video-ad-analyzer"
```

Then ask, for example: *"Pull grammarly.com's current video ads and tell me which angles and hooks they test."* or *"Analyze these 3 ad videos and compare their offers and CTAs."*

🆓 **Free to try:** Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed – enough for about 100 ad teardowns with this tool.

**What you get** – real output from a test run, shortened. One row per ad (plus script, shots and pain points in more columns):

| Brand searched | Advertiser (legal name) | Hook type | Opening line | Angle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| grammarly.com | Superhuman Platform Inc. | curiosity gap | Chemistry is life, literally. Everything you see,… | AI-powered writing partner |
| grammarly.com | Superhuman Platform Inc. | visual surprise | Chemistry is life, literally. | AI-powered productivity |

### Ad analysis API for competitor video ads

Call it from your back end with the Apify API. One request runs the Actor and returns the rows as JSON:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/tubetext~video-ad-analyzer/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"advertisers":["grammarly.com"],"maxAdsPerAdvertiser":3}'
```

- **Big batches:** Each ad is analyzed by AI and the sync endpoint waits up to 5 minutes, so keep sync calls to a few ads. For many brands, start the run with `POST /v2/acts/tubetext~video-ad-analyzer/runs` and a webhook, then fetch the dataset.
- **Monitoring:** Weekly competitor watch: schedule the run with your brand list. Google ads carry `firstShown` and `lastShown`, so you can spot new angles as they launch. Add an Apify webhook to get notified when each run finishes.
- **Cost at volume:** 50 brands × 5 ads a week ≈ 250 ads ≈ $12.50/week at the free-plan price ($0.05 per ad). Ads that fail to analyze are free.
- **Stable output:** field names don't change between runs. Failed or empty items come back as status rows that aren't billed, and every row has `charged: true/false`.
- **Why not the official API:** Ad libraries give you the ads, not the analysis. This returns the hook, angle, offer, CTA, script and shot list for each ad.

Research your competitors' video ads with AI. Type a **brand or domain** and this Actor pulls its video ads from the public **Google Ads Transparency Center** (YouTube ads) and the **Meta Ad Library** (Facebook and Instagram ads), watches each one and returns a creative teardown: hook, persuasion angle, offer, pain points, claims, CTA, full script and a shot-by-shot breakdown – plus ideas for variations to test. You can also paste ad video links or chain an ad library scraper's dataset.

Built for media buyers, performance agencies, UGC creators and brand teams who need to know *what* competitors run and *why it might work* – without watching hundreds of ads by hand.

### What you get for every ad

- 🎣 **Hook** – what the viewer sees, reads and hears in the first ~3 s, its type (problem, bold claim, result first…) and why it works
- 🎯 **Angle, offer, pain points, benefits, claims, social proof** – the persuasion strategy, spelled out; offers keep their fine print ("up to", caps, conditions, end dates)
- 🛒 **Products and CTA** – what is sold, when the brand first appears, the call to action and when it lands
- 🎬 **Shot list and structure** – scene, action, on-screen text and spoken words per shot; beats like problem → demo → offer → CTA
- 📝 **Full transcript** (captions or Whisper AI) and editing notes (pacing, measured cuts, captions style)
- 💡 **Variation ideas** your creative team can test
- 📅 **Ad facts** – advertiser, domain, first/last shown dates, Transparency Center link, YouTube link

### Four ways in

1. **`advertisers`** – brand names (`HelloFresh`), domains (`grammarly.com`), advertiser IDs (`AR…`) or Transparency Center advertiser links. Filter by **region** (US, GB, DE…). Newest ads first.
2. **`metaBrands`** – brand names, `facebook.com/<page>` links or numeric page IDs. Pulls that brand's own **active Facebook and Instagram video ads** from the Meta Ad Library (country set by `metaCountry`, default US) and analyzes each. Ads by other advertisers that only mention the brand are left out. Rows add `adLibraryUrl`, `pageName`, `platforms`, `isActive`, `isPartnershipAd`, ad copy, CTA, landing page and first/last shown.
3. **`adUrls`** – ad videos you already have: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or direct `.mp4` links (e.g. video URLs from the Meta Ad Library).
4. **`datasetId`** – the output of an ad library scraper run (Meta / Facebook Ad Library, TikTok ads, Google transparency). Each row's video, advertiser, ad copy, CTA button, landing page and dates are detected automatically; image and text ads are skipped for free.

### Input example

```json
{
  "advertisers": ["grammarly.com", "HelloFresh"],
  "region": "US",
  "maxAdsPerAdvertiser": 10,
  "outputLanguage": "English"
}
```

If you leave out `maxAdsPerAdvertiser` (for example when calling the API), up to **10 ads per brand** are analyzed – about $0.50 per brand.

### Output example

Real output (shortened) for `grammarly.com`:

```json
{
  "status": "ok",
  "advertiserName": "Superhuman Platform Inc.",
  "advertiserDomain": "grammarly.com",
  "creativeId": "CR01613737213038690305",
  "firstShown": "2026-08-27",
  "lastShown": "2026-10-08",
  "transparencyUrl": "https://adstransparency.google.com/advertiser/AR05288677867637440513/creative/CR01613737213038690305",
  "videoUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkwalS03UBQ",
  "durationSeconds": 15,
  "summary": "A student explains how she uses Grammarly to help manage her heavy workload for an economics group project…",
  "hook": {
    "text": "I'm an economics major. And this group project counts for 50% of my grade.",
    "type": "problem",
    "delivered_as": "voice",
    "why_it_works": "It immediately establishes high stakes and a relatable stressor for the target audience."
  },
  "adFormat": "spokesperson/talking head",
  "offer": "Try Grammarly for free",
  "painPoints": ["high-stakes academic projects", "heavy workload"],
  "benefits": ["AI learning partner", "summarize class notes", "improve work quality"],
  "claims": [{"claim": "Grammarly is an AI learning partner that helps do work better", "support": "demo"}],
  "products": [{"name": "Grammarly", "brand": "Grammarly", "first_seen": 0, "how_shown": "app screen recording"}],
  "cta": {"text": "Try Grammarly for free", "type": "get offer", "time": 13.81},
  "whyItWorks": "It addresses a specific, high-stress pain point for students and immediately provides a clear, functional solution…",
  "suggestions": ["Use a testimonial-style hook from a real student instead of a scripted intro.",
                  "Add a 'before vs. after' comparison of a document edited with Grammarly."],
  "shotCount": 3,
  "shots": ["…"],
  "transcript": "I'm an economics major. And this group project counts for 50% of my grade. Lucky for me…"
}
```

`status` is `ok`, `skipped` (same video as another ad in the run, no video on YouTube, too long – free), `no_ads` or `error` (free). `matchedAs` shows which advertiser or domain a brand name was matched to. Two quality flags help you filter: `advertiserNameContainsBrand` is `false` when the ad was bought by an agency, a legal entity with a different name or a co-branding partner – a hint to double-check, not an error. `languageMatchesRegion` says whether the ad's language is a main language of the region you chose (Google lists ads by where they were shown, so a region can include ads in other languages).

### Pricing

Pay per event:

- **$0.05 per analyzed ad** (cheaper on higher Apify plans: down to $0.037), first 3 minutes included – almost every ad is shorter.
- **$0.01 per extra started minute** for longer videos.
- **Meta Ad Library ads: + $0.003 per ad fetched**, billed by our [Meta Ad Library Video Ads](https://apify.com/tubetext/meta-ad-library-videos) Actor in the same run. About 1.5× the ads you ask for are fetched, because the same video often runs as several ads – duplicates are analyzed (and charged) once. The library part is capped at 15% of your cost limit.
- Listing ads, duplicates, ads without a downloadable video and failed analyses are free.

Example: 10 ads from each of 5 competitors = 50 ads ≈ **$2.50**.

### Tips

- **Brand names vs domains**: a brand name is matched through the brand's official domain first (your region's domain, then `.com`), then by advertiser name, preferring advertisers from the region you chose. `matchedAs` shows what it matched. Big brands often buy ads under a legal entity with another name (Deliveroo in the UK runs as Roofoods Ltd) or through agencies – those ads are kept and flagged with `advertiserNameContainsBrand: false`. For the most precise results, enter the domain (`canva.com`).
- **Languages**: ads in any language are analyzed; choose the output language, and optionally translate quotes. Filter on `languageMatchesRegion` to keep only local-language ads.
- **Monitoring**: schedule a weekly run with your competitor list and compare `firstShown` dates to spot new creatives.
- **Integrations**: run it from n8n, Make, Zapier or the API and send rows to Google Sheets or Notion.

### FAQ

**Does it cover Facebook and Instagram ads?** Yes – put the brand in *Brands or Facebook pages (Meta Ad Library)*. You get the brand's own active video ads for the country you choose (default US). Two known gaps: country *ALL* may pick a brand's non-US page, and for GB the library sometimes returns fewer ads than its website shows.

**Which ads does Google Ads Transparency cover?** Ads run through Google Ads – this Actor analyzes the **video** ones (YouTube ads, including app-install video ads). Text, image and display ads are not analyzed.

**Is the analysis accurate?** It is AI (Google Gemini) watching sampled frames, the transcript and the ad facts. Hooks, offers, CTAs and scripts are usually right; treat strategic fields (angle, why it works, suggestions) as a strong first draft, not ground truth. Song titles are never guessed.

**Is this legal?** The Actor only reads public pages and public ad libraries, without logging in, and collects no personal data. You are responsible for how you use the results (copyright and the platforms' terms).

**How do I get a clean spreadsheet?** In the run's Storage tab choose Export → View: *Overview* for a short set of readable columns in Excel, CSV or Google Sheets. Use JSON to get every field (for example the full shot list).

**Can I cap what a run costs?** Yes – set *Maximum cost per run* in the run options. The run stops cleanly when the next item would go over it: you are never charged more, and you get a clear "stopped at your limit" status message.

**What happens if a big run hits the time limit?** It stops cleanly shortly before the limit: everything finished so far is delivered, the run ends as succeeded, and the status message says how many items weren't started. Raise the run timeout, or run again with the inputs that were not started.

**How do I keep a run from costing more than planned?** Two limits stack: *Max ads per brand* caps how many ads are analyzed for each advertiser, and *Maximum cost per run* stops the run cleanly at your budget. Only video ads are analyzed; image and text ads are skipped for free.

**Cost telemetry:** when a run ends, the Actor sends us a small anonymous summary via a webhook: run ID, duration, memory, compute and AI cost, whether the account is on a free or paid plan, and counts of free rows. Until about Oct 26, 2026 this is sent for every run (a one-week cost measurement); after that, only for runs that cost more than they earned. We use it to keep prices fair. Your inputs, links and results are never sent.

# Actor input Schema

## `advertisers` (type: `array`):

Provide at least one of: advertisers / metaBrands / adUrls / datasetId. Competitors to research in the Google Ads Transparency Center (YouTube video ads): a brand name (HelloFresh), a domain (grammarly.com), an advertiser ID (AR…) or an adstransparency.google.com advertiser link.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
