top level
  • foundboolean

    true

  • reason"not_found" | "too_long"

    Present only when `found` is false, and says why there is no result. `not_found`: the source states the target does not exist, or returned nothing for it. `too_long`: the video is longer than the source can transcribe, so asking again returns the same answer. A `found: false` answer is a successful call, not an error, and `costUsd` is what it actually cost.

You get back. Named, typed fields in the same shape whichever source answers.

About the Facebook Ad transcript API

The AnyAPI Facebook Ad transcript API returns Facebook ad transcript data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/facebook.ad_transcript. Get the spoken-word transcript of a Meta Ad Library video ad by ad ID or URL. AnyAPI routes each request across 2 sources and falls back automatically when one fails. It costs from $1.20 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 99.9% of Facebook ad transcript calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 6.4 seconds across 1,345 measured calls.

It costs from $1.20 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet and each call draws it down.
