Getting started with OpenAdLibrary

A quick tour of the open ad-transparency and competitive-intelligence platform.

What OpenAdLibrary does

OpenAdLibrary observes public ad placements, captures the creative image, identifies the ad-tech supply chain, follows public redirects to the advertiser landing page, and stores auditable evidence. Each result represents a real placement observed in the wild.

Explore the Ad Library

Open the Ad Library to search creatives and inspect the advertiser, captured landing pages, serving network, redirect trail, countries, devices, and first- and last-seen dates.

  • Use full-text search to find copy, advertisers, domains, and landing-page text.
  • Combine network, country, device, format, status, and date filters.
  • Open a brand profile to review the ads attributed to one advertiser.

Save and share research

Save useful ads to boards so you can return to them later. Boards are private by default and can be shared with a workspace. Supported ads, brands, and boards can also use public read-only links for people without an account.
