search_adsSearches the Ad Radar library of Facebook and Instagram ads from the Meta Ad Library (every ad has at least $50k estimated spend), with the same filters as the Ad Radar board. By default it returns only active ads, sorteget_adReturns the full record of one ad: headline, body, CTA, full transcript, metrics, spendEstimate (an ESTIMATE based on engagement, not real spend; spendLowerBound = it is a minimum, "at least"), delivery status, winnerObsget_swipe_promptReturns a prompt template built from one ad, written for the user to run on their own product. The result is JSON with the template text in the template field. kind='swipe' is a template that maps the ad's beats, checkslist_taxonomyLists the taxonomy dimensions of the Ad Radar library (awareness, angle, hook_pattern, vformat, pformat, landing...) with their valid values. These slugs are the values the tags filter of search_ads accepts.advertiser_hooksReturns the hooks, hook mechanisms and angles an advertiser uses most, counted over all of its ads in the library. advertiserId is the advertiser id shown in search_ads rows.winning_patternsReturns, for each taxonomy value, how many times more often it appears among winning ads than on average (lift), with adoption (ads, advertisers) and example ads; the same data as the 'What to do now' block of the Ad Rad
