# Captapi, free: LinkedIn Ad Library API

> LinkedIn publishes run dates, impressions and targeting only on a subset of Ad Library creatives — missing firstShown/impressions/targeting means the detail page has no Ran-from line, not a scrape miss. Search returns SERP cards (id, advertiser, copy, optional media).

## Data

- Freshness: live
- Keep data: no limit
- Use data: You agree not to use the Service, or data obtained through it, to: Harm or target individuals — stalking, harassment, doxxing, re-identification of anonymous users, or building profiles used to threaten, intimidate, or discriminate against people. Process personal data unlawfully — in violation of the GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, or other applicable data-protection laws, including using public personal data for a purpose the individual would not reasonably expect without a lawful basis.

Circumvent controls — bypass authentication, rate limits, or access restrictions on any platform, or attempt to access non-public data. Break the law — any use that is illegal in your jurisdiction or that facilitates illegal activity.
