Trouble running meta ad library - says no ads!

Hi, tried to run this one https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook_id=b1u8QJtQXzjph3z9ABNZ9s&tab=1&run_id=HgjhcUkeWM9MZYXWiBVU4s

i got the error: Getting page ID for https://www.facebook.com/pulszdotcom
e[31m Facebook Ad Library Scraper Failed!
Page https://www.facebook.com/pulszdotcom is not currently running ads.e[0m

But, when i checked manually on FB, i can clearly see fresh ads.

And i did all gummie said, same result.

Added later - now the same with another page: https://www.facebook.com/LuckyLandSlots

Please help! Thank you!

p.s. - if this works, is there a way for me to set like 10-15 runs liek this, for 10-15 FB pages, each with a seperate flow or all in 1 flow want to receive seperate reports/emails for each.

Hey @Skazkin3! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the run link and make sure it’s shareable so we can take a look.

  1. Find your run link on the history page. Format: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={{your_run_id}}&workbook_id={{workbook_id}}

  2. Make it shareable by clicking “Share” → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.

  3. Provide details about the issue—more context helps us troubleshoot faster.

You can find your run history here: https://www.gumloop.com/history

did this, just waiting for hep now :wink:

Hey @Skazkin3 – On the ‘Facebook Ad Scraper’ node do you mind removing the country selection ‘US’ please? Alternatively, you can delete and add back the Facebook ad scraper node.

Once you leave it empty, it will search across all countries and should work for for most profiles but https://www.facebook.com/pulszdotcom shows no active ads:

As for your question regarding looping over multiple Facebook URLs, that is definitely possible. Instead of having the interface up top, you can replace that with an input node and use your current flow as a subflow and loop it over a list of URLs from a Google Sheet or elsewhere. Here’s a tutorial for that: Subflows - Gumloop

Thank you Wasay, but unofrtunatelly this didnt work. here is the run, without US
https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?workbook_id=b1u8QJtQXzjph3z9ABNZ9s&tab=1&run_id=9ji8hrPfye2v4zpHBMpNK7 .

You can see that pulszcom does havea ds, see screenshot:

Now, there are also plentyof other pages i get the same result, despite the fact i can see they are running ads… Redirecting... is another example, i can get few more.

thank you for the help, appreciete you taking a look again

I see. Let me test this a bit more, and I’ll reach out to the scraper provider here. I’ll keep you posted on the progress.

Hi Wasay - did you get the chance to look into this?

Hey @Skazkin3 – Apologies for the slow response here. Unfortunately, there’s no update yet for those specific Facebook profiles. Just to clarify – Facebook Meta doesn’t offer an API to scrape ad details given a page URL. The Facebook Page Scraper node instead uses third-party scrapers for this.

Some Facebook pages may have viewer restrictions that prevent scraping, though I don’t know the exact issue with these two URLs just yet. I’m still waiting on a response from the provider.

For now, it looks like these two particular URLs won’t be possible. However, if you try other Facebook URLs outside of these, they should hopefully work.

Thanks i will await your later reply. There are more pages that have the same issue when i run it.
