About LurkAPI

LurkAPI shows you what any brand advertises and what people say about it, from public pages, as clean data.

Ad libraries in one place
- Meta's Ad Library: search ads by keyword, or list every ad one advertiser runs on Facebook and Instagram, with copy, media, landing page and run dates.
- Google's Ads Transparency Center: ads on Search, YouTube, Maps, Play and Shopping by brand or website.
- LinkedIn's Ad Library and TikTok's EU ad library, with payer and reach details where they're published.

Creators and conversations
- TikTok, Instagram and YouTube profiles with follower counts, latest posts and engagement.
- Video transcripts from YouTube, TikTok and Instagram reels.
- Reddit search, subreddit feeds and full comment threads; posts from X, Threads, Bluesky and Telegram.
- Google Maps places and reviews, Google News and Google autocomplete.

No code needed
Connect LurkAPI to Claude or ChatGPT and ask: "What ads is Allbirds running on Facebook right now?" It fetches the real ads and answers. Developers call the same 88 endpoints as a REST API with one key. Or try the 29 free tools, with 5 free tries a day and no signup.

Price
Most lookups cost 1 credit. Start with 100 free credits, no card, topped back up to 25 every day. Packs start at $9 for 10,000 credits, and credits never expire. LurkAPI reads public data only.
