How Can You Track Competitor Ads Across Facebook, Google, and LinkedIn With One API?

The Multi-Platform Ad Intelligence API lets you pull competitor ad creatives, estimated spend, targeting strategies, and performance benchmarks from Facebook Ad Library, Google Ads Transparency Center, and LinkedIn Ad insights through a single REST endpoint. Instead of manually checking three different platforms, the Multi-Platform Ad Intelligence API consolidates everything into one structured JSON response.

If you work in a marketing agency or on a growth team, you already know how painful cross-platform ad research is. Each platform has its own interface, its own data format, and its own limitations. The Multi-Platform Ad Intelligence API by Donny Automation on RapidAPI eliminates that friction entirely.

Why Cross-Platform Ad Intelligence Matters

Modern ad campaigns rarely run on a single channel. Your competitors are running creatives across Meta, Google, and LinkedIn simultaneously. Understanding their full strategy requires visibility across all three.

The Multi-Platform Ad Intelligence API gives you:

• Ad creative data — copy, images, video thumbnails, and CTAs across platforms
• Spend estimates — approximate budget allocation per platform and campaign
• Targeting insights — audience demographics, interests, and geographic targeting
• Performance benchmarks — engagement metrics to compare against your own campaigns

      'X-RapidAPI-Host': 'multi-ad-intelligence.p.rapidapi.com'
    }
  }
);

const data = await response.json();

// data.results contains ads from all three platforms
console.log(`Found ${data.results.length} ads across platforms`);

data.results.forEach(ad => {
  console.log(`[${ad.platform}] ${ad.advertiser}: ${ad.headline}`);
  console.log(`  Spend estimate: $${ad.estimatedSpend}`);
  console.log(`  Active since: ${ad.startDate}`);
});

1. Filter and analyze — Use query parameters to narrow results by platform, date range, ad format, or advertiser name. The Multi-Platform Ad Intelligence API returns structured JSON that slots directly into dashboards, spreadsheets, or reporting tools.
