Facebook Ad Library Company Search
Facebook Ad Library company candidates are advertiser Pages identified by Page IDs, names, categories, countries, images, verification values, and linked Instagram context. These identity and audience signals support advertiser resolution, same-name Page comparison, and reviewable Page selection before ad research.
Features
- Company and Page-name searchSubmit one non-empty company, brand, or Page-name query and receive every advertiser Page candidate returned for that lookup.
- Page identity and classificationReturn Page IDs, names, derived public URLs, categories, countries, entity types, verification values, images, and deleted-Page state when exposed.
- Visible Page and Instagram signalsKeep available Facebook likes together with linked Instagram usernames, follower counts, and verification state in normalized candidate records.

# Poll GET /v1/tasks/{task_id}
# Read data.results.items and follow next_cursor while has_more is trueBest Use Cases
- Advertiser Page ID resolution: Use candidate Page IDs, names, URLs, categories, and countries to select the identifier required for a Page-scoped Company Ads request.
- Same-name and regional Page comparison: Compare categories, countries, entity types, images, verification values, and linked Instagram context across similar advertiser names.
- Reviewable advertiser selectors: Store Page identity, visible audience signals, original query, and collection time behind an advertiser picker or research index.
Pro Tips
- Send only query; results_limit and ad status, country, media, or date filters are not accepted by Company Search.
- When several candidates share a familiar name, compare the Page ID, URL, category, country, image, verification, and linked Instagram identity instead of selecting the first result.
- Follow next_cursor until has_more is false so task-result pagination does not hide a stored company candidate.
- Treat Instagram identity, follower counts, verification values, images, and deleted-Page state as optional signals and handle absent fields without rejecting the candidate.
