@aliayar Has anyone ask for this?

Also added Intercom link to the top of the OP for visibility.

@aliayar Sorry I've indeed missed the Intercom links for some reasons! 👍

Would be cool to have access to the ads' data itself through your API as LinkedIn's API only returns the ad page.

@Echelpoel thanks for that context! Can you clarify what you mean by the data itself? We can only scrape things that can be obtained through the browser, so the data would need to be available via the page. But if you mean that you would like the information from the page extracted into a more useful format, that is certainly something we would provide if we implement this, as all of our APIs return data parsed into nested JSON.

@schaferyan This is an example of an ad object the LinkedIn API returns:

{
    "isRestricted": false,
    "adUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/ad-library/detail/320330694",
    "details": {
        "type": "SPONSORED_VIDEO",
        "advertiser": {
            "adPayer": "Bolt Energy",
            "advertiserName": "Bolt Energy",
            "advertiserUrl": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/2295491"
        },
        "adTargeting": []
    }
}

There is no information about the ad itself being returned. All relevant data about the ad is available on the adUrl page, which is publicly accessible and makes it suitable for scraping.
