"Our team would manually check the LinkedIn Ad Library and rely on SimilarWeb for rough insights. It was slow, inconsistent, and often outdated."

Actionable data at any volume
Run one domain or batch millions. Same structure every time.
Run it for:
Lead enrichment
Add LinkedIn ad data to every lead in your CRM. Flag accounts running ads (they have B2B marketing budget). Segment by creative sophistication (video/carousel = higher investment). Route high-value advertisers to sales, non-advertisers to marketing nurture.
Competitive intelligence
Pull all ads from your top competitors. Extract their messaging, creative formats, and positioning. Track monthly to see what they launch, what they kill, and how long each campaign runs. Feed creative URLs directly to your design team.
Market mapping
Batch process 1000+ companies in your category. See what percentage are advertising on LinkedIn. Compare creative sophistication (video vs static image). Identify gaps in the market or validate your positioning against active advertisers.
Sales triggers
Call the API weekly for target accounts. Store ad counts. When ad volume jumps or new campaigns appear, trigger outreach (new spend signals budget and buying window). Build the comparison logic in your CRM or automation tool.

Format ready for any tool
Clean JSON. Every field has the same structure across all responses. No parsing edge cases.
Clay
Add as HTTP API enrichment or use Adyntel's direct integration. Map fields to columns. Build conditional logic:
ads.length > 50: tag as "active LinkedIn advertiser"creative_type = "SPONSORED_VIDEO": add to "video advertiser" list
CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Attio, etc)
Store as custom fields: linkedin_ad_count (number), primary_creative_type (text), advertiser_name (text). Trigger sequences when ad count changes or new creative formats appear.
Databases (Postgres, Airtable)
Store full JSON in JSONB column. Query by creative type, advertiser name, commentary text. Track changes over time by storing responses daily.
LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, etc)
Pass structured ad data as context: "Analyze these LinkedIn ads from Gong: [JSON]. Extract their main value props and B2B messaging themes." Get a summary of their messaging themes instead of manually reviewing all their ads.
Spreadsheets (Google Sheets, Excel)
Import via Apps Script or Power Query. Flatten JSON into rows. Track ad count by company, pivot by creative type, filter by commentary keywords. Export individual ad data to CSV for manual review.
Python/Node
Standard HTTP POST. Parse with built-in JSON libraries. No SDK. No wrapper. Works anywhere you can make an HTTP request.
Python
response = requests.post('https://api.adyntel.com/linkedin', json={
'api_key': key,
'email': email,
'company_domain': 'stripe.com'
})
ads = response.json()['ads']Pricing
