Meta Ad Library Video Fetcher — Extract Video URLs from Facebook Ad Library Instantly

Stop wasting time digging through page source or DevTools trying to find video URLs from Meta's Ad Library. This free Chrome extension does it automatically — detecting the real .mp4 video link from every video ad and displaying it directly beneath each ad card as you browse.

🎬 WHAT IT DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

As you scroll through the Meta Ad Library (facebook.com/ads/library), the extension automatically:

✅ Detects video ads loading on the page
✅ Extracts the real .mp4 CDN video URL
✅ Displays the ad's primary text + video URL in a clean panel right below each ad
✅ Lets you copy the URL with a single click
✅ Opens the video directly in a new tab

No page source. No DevTools. No technical knowledge required.

📋 KEY FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔗 DIRECT .MP4 VIDEO LINKS
Gets the actual Facebook CDN video file URL — not a thumbnail, not a preview image, not a blob URL. The real downloadable .mp4 link.

📝 PRIMARY TEXT DISPLAY
Each detected panel also shows the ad's primary text so you get full creative context — copy and video — in one place.

⚡ DUAL DETECTION ENGINE
Uses both DOM scanning and Chrome's webRequest API to intercept video network requests in real time. Works even on lazy-loaded videos before they finish playing.

📊 POPUP WITH EXPORT
Click the extension icon to see all detected video ads at once. Export everything — primary text + video URLs — as a clean CSV file for bulk research or team sharing.

🚫 NO DUPLICATES
Smart URL normalization strips CDN auth tokens and deduplicates links, so you always see exactly one clean URL per video — never the same link twice.

🎨 NON-INTRUSIVE UI
Clean white panel with a blue accent sits neatly below each ad. Doesn't interfere with the Ad Library layout or Meta's own UI.
