Description

Hi Ad Library API Team,

thanks for providing this service!

I have an issue accessing the ads via the link provided by ad_snapshot_url. All links for my ads lead to a page saying "This content isn't available right now. When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted."

Could you guide me on accessing the ads via ad_snapshot_url?

Thanks,
Dominik
