Meta Ads Collector Adarsh

What This Skill Does

The Meta Ads Collector Adarsh is a specialized skill designed to interface directly with the Meta Ad Library API. Its primary function is to conduct competitive intelligence gathering by auditing the active advertisement inventory of any brand. The skill retrieves critical metadata including total active ad volume, the variety of creative formats (such as video, image, or carousel), and the age of the longest-running active advertisement. By processing these data points, it provides an immediate snapshot of a company's paid media strategy, allowing users to understand the sophistication and volume of a competitor's digital marketing footprint.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/adarshvmore/meta-ads-collector-adarsh

Ensure that you have your META_ACCESS_TOKEN, META_APP_ID, and META_APP_SECRET correctly configured in your environment variables to facilitate authentication with the Meta Graph API.

Use Cases

This skill is an essential tool for digital marketing agencies, brand strategists, and researchers. Common use cases include:

• Competitive Auditing: Quickly assessing the volume of ads a competitor is running to estimate their marketing intensity.
• Creative Benchmarking: Identifying whether a brand leans heavily into video, static imagery, or complex carousel formats.
• Strategy Validation: Verifying if a company is currently testing new offers by looking at the delivery duration of their ad sets.
• Market Research: Analyzing ad category types (e.g., political vs. commercial) to understand broader sector trends.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current ad strategy for Nike by auditing their active ads using the Meta Ads Collector."
2. "How many active ads is Gymshark running right now, and what ad formats are they favoring?"
3. "Run a meta ads report for apple.com to see their longest-running campaign and current ad spend estimates."

Tips & Limitations

• Rate Limits: The skill operates under standard Meta Graph API limitations (approx. 200 requests per hour). Do not spam the tool with rapid, large-scale concurrent requests.
• Geographic Scope: By default, this collector targets the US market. Ensure your specific query requirements match the API implementation.
• Data Availability: While the API is robust, estimated spend data is only returned if the Meta Ad Library provides it, which is not guaranteed for all brands or campaigns.
• Ambiguity: Always provide the domain when the brand name is common or generic to ensure the API retrieves data for the correct corporate entity.
