The Data score on Facebook Ad Library APIs

This score, out of 100, shows how many of a Facebook page's ads a call returns. Each call returns the first batch of the page's ads. For each page, we count the ads the call returned, out of 10. If the call says the page has no more ads, we count out of the ads the page has. We also check each ad for the fields we score. We average the page scores to get the call's score. If the call returned no ad for a page, that page counts as 0. ScrapeUnblocker's call takes one country, so we sent the United States. Metapi's two calls ran on fewer pages than the other calls. If a provider ran on fewer pages, we compare that provider with the other providers on those pages alone. A provider can't score higher by running only on easy pages. We lower the score when we test the call on fewer pages than the benchmark has.
