How to extract a YouTube ad video URL
Copy debug JSON while a YouTube ad plays, paste it into the extractor, then copy or download the detected IDs, URLs, metadata, and signals.
1
Play the commercial
Open a YouTube video and wait until the advertisement you want to inspect starts playing.
2
Copy the debug information
Right-click the playing ad, choose Copy debug info, and keep the complete JSON object in your clipboard.

Paste and inspect
Paste the JSON into the tool. It validates the object, finds ad and main video IDs, builds watch URLs, and shows available signals.
Frequently asked questions
- Why are YouTube ad videos often unlisted?
- YouTube ad assets are often unlisted, so they may not appear in search results. The tool can identify an ad video only when its ID is present in the debug information you paste.
- How do I extract a YouTube ad video URL?
- Play the commercial, right-click the player, choose Copy debug info, and paste the complete JSON object into the tool. The extractor then checks fields such as addocid and adVideoId for the ad video ID.
- What information does the YouTube ad extractor read?
- The tool reads JSON debug information from the clipboard or pasted text, validates it as an object, and displays the ad ID, main video ID, detected signals, and related watch URLs when available.
- What can I do with the extracted ad video ID?
- If the payload contains a valid 11-character YouTube ID, you can open or copy the ad video URL. You can also copy the main video URL, individual IDs, raw JSON, and other detected signal values.
- Does this tool download YouTube videos?
- The tool can request the main video's public oEmbed metadata to show its title and channel. It does not download the ad or main video; it only presents identifiers, links, metadata, and debug fields.
- Can I save the parsed YouTube ad debug information?
- Yes. After a valid JSON payload is parsed, use Download JSON to save a formatted copy of the debug information as youtube-ad-debug-info.json.
