Checking a competitor's Meta Ad Library by hand means comparing screenshots from memory, or just not noticing which creative is actually new versus recycled from last month.
What this actor does, in one line: it wraps a Meta Ad Library source actor, keeps a persistent history so it only returns ads it hasn't seen before, and classifies the marketing angle used from the ad copy itself — discount, urgency, social proof, novelty, or conversion CTA — in French or English.
Input: a Meta Ad Library search URL or a page ID.
Output per new ad: advertiser, headline, primary text, CTA, landing page URL, creative format, detected marketing angle, first-seen date.
Honest detail from building it: the first version would still report a summary even if the source scrape failed halfway through — no way to tell an actually-empty result apart from a broken run. Fixed it to refuse and fail loudly instead of quietly reporting nothing.
It also remembers what it already delivered, so scheduled runs only surface genuinely new creatives instead of the same ones every time.
