Set the market radar
set_competitor_watchSet, change, or stop a brand's competitor watch to monitor new ads, winning ads, trends, and content ideas; choose competitors, topics, cadence, or auto-select.
Instructions
Set, change or stop a brand's MARKET RADAR (the standing competitor watch; Ad Spy > Watching in the web app; each brand has its own), run weekly or daily: newAds (what watched brands launched), winners (their ad passing 30 days running), trends + topPosts (formats and most-viewed posts for niche topics), ideas (3 to make). Only what you pass changes. competitors / topics REPLACE their lists (max 8 brands, 5 topics); both empty stops it and clears findings. auto:true picks 3-5 competitors, 2-3 similar brands and 2-3 topics from the saved brand or seed (a few credits). dryRun:true quotes one check, saves nothing. Saving is free; each check holds its quote first and is skipped when the balance is short. runNow is refused while a check runs or just after one finished. Read it with list_watch_findings.
