API Usage Patterns
Python Library Usage
from adspy import AdSpyClient, NetworkType
import os
# Initialize client
client = AdSpyClient(
api_key=os.environ['ADSPY_API_KEY'],
networks=[NetworkType.FACEBOOK, NetworkType.GOOGLE]
)
# Track advertiser campaigns
campaigns = client.track_advertiser(
advertiser_name="Example Corp",
networks=["facebook", "instagram"],
start_date="2026-01-01"
)
for campaign in campaigns:
print(f"Campaign: {campaign.name}")
print(f"Network: {campaign.network}")
print(f"Estimated Spend: ${campaign.estimated_spend}")
print(f"Impressions: {campaign.impressions}")
print(f"Creative Count: {len(campaign.creatives)}")
Searching for Ads
# Search ads by keyword
results = client.search_ads(
keywords=["productivity", "software"],
networks=["facebook", "linkedin"],
date_range="30d",
limit=100
)
for ad in results:
print(f"Ad ID: {ad.id}")
print(f"Advertiser: {ad.advertiser}")
print(f"Headline: {ad.headline}")
print(f"Call to Action: {ad.cta}")
print(f"Landing Page: {ad.landing_page}")
print(f"First Seen: {ad.first_seen}")
print(f"Last Seen: {ad.last_seen}")
Analyzing Competitor Strategies
# Get competitor intelligence
intel = client.get_competitor_intelligence(
advertiser="Competitor Inc",
metrics=["spend", "creative_count", "network_distribution"]
)
print(f"Total Ads: {intel.total_ads}")
print(f"Estimated Monthly Spend: ${intel.estimated_monthly_spend}")
print(f"Most Active Network: {intel.primary_network}")
print(f"Avg Campaign Duration: {intel.avg_campaign_duration} days")
# Get creative insights
for creative in intel.top_creatives:
print(f"Creative Type: {creative.type}")
print(f"Performance Score: {creative.performance_score}")
print(f"Duration: {creative.duration_days} days")
Monitoring Ad Spend Trends
# Analyze spending patterns
spend_analysis = client.analyze_spend_trends(
advertiser="Target Company",
period="90d",
granularity="weekly"
)
for week in spend_analysis.weekly_data:
print(f"Week: {week.date}")
print(f"Estimated Spend: ${week.spend}")
print(f"Active Campaigns: {week.campaign_count}")
print(f"New Creatives: {week.new_creatives}")
Tracking Creative Performance
# Get creative performance data
creative_stats = client.get_creative_performance(
advertiser="Brand Name",
creative_types=["image", "video", "carousel"],
sort_by="engagement"
)
for creative in creative_stats.top_performers:
print(f"Creative ID: {creative.id}")
print(f"Type: {creative.type}")
print(f"Engagement Score: {creative.engagement_score}")
print(f"Estimated Reach: {creative.estimated_reach}")
print(f"Duration Active: {creative.days_active}")
print(f"Networks: {', '.join(creative.networks)}")
Exporting Data
# Export campaign data
export_job = client.export_data(
advertisers=["Company1", "Company2"],
start_date="2026-01-01",
end_date="2026-06-30",
format="csv",
fields=["advertiser", "campaign", "network", "spend", "impressions"]
)
# Wait for export to complete
export_job.wait()
# Download exported file
export_job.download("campaign_data.csv")
Real-time Monitoring
# Set up real-time monitoring
monitor = client.create_monitor(
advertisers=["Competitor A", "Competitor B"],
networks=["facebook", "google"],
alert_on=["new_campaign", "spend_spike"]
)
# Register webhook callback
@monitor.on_alert
def handle_alert(alert):
print(f"Alert Type: {alert.type}")
print(f"Advertiser: {alert.advertiser}")
print(f"Details: {alert.details}")
if alert.type == "new_campaign":
print(f"New campaign detected: {alert.campaign_name}")
elif alert.type == "spend_spike":
print(f"Spend increased by {alert.increase_percentage}%")
# Start monitoring
monitor.start()
Advanced Patterns
Batch Processing Multiple Advertisers
from adspy import AdSpyClient, BatchProcessor
import os
client = AdSpyClient(api_key=os.environ['ADSPY_API_KEY'])
# Process multiple advertisers efficiently
advertisers = ["Company1", "Company2", "Company3", "Company4"]
batch = BatchProcessor(client)
results = batch.process_advertisers(
advertisers=advertisers,
operations=["campaigns", "creatives", "spend_analysis"],
parallel=True,
max_workers=4
)
for advertiser, data in results.items():
print(f"\n{advertiser}:")
print(f" Campaigns: {len(data.campaigns)}")
print(f" Creatives: {len(data.creatives)}")
print(f" Est. Monthly Spend: ${data.estimated_spend}")
Custom Analytics Pipeline
from adspy import AdSpyClient, Pipeline, Filters, Aggregators
import os
client = AdSpyClient(api_key=os.environ['ADSPY_API_KEY'])
# Build custom analytics pipeline
pipeline = Pipeline(client)
results = (pipeline
.search_ads(keywords=["AI", "machine learning"])
.filter(Filters.network_in(["facebook", "linkedin"]))
.filter(Filters.date_range("30d"))
.filter(Filters.min_duration(7))
.aggregate(Aggregators.by_advertiser())
.aggregate(Aggregators.by_network())
.sort_by("estimated_spend", descending=True)
.limit(50)
.execute())
for result in results:
print(f"Advertiser: {result.advertiser}")
print(f"Network Distribution: {result.network_stats}")
print(f"Total Spend: ${result.total_spend}")
Competitor Comparison Dashboard
from adspy import AdSpyClient, CompetitorComparison
import os
client = AdSpyClient(api_key=os.environ['ADSPY_API_KEY'])
# Compare multiple competitors
comparison = CompetitorComparison(client)
report = comparison.compare(
competitors=["Competitor A", "Competitor B", "Competitor C"],
metrics=[
"total_campaigns",
"estimated_spend",
"creative_diversity",
"network_coverage",
"campaign_frequency"
],
period="90d"
)
# Generate comparison matrix
matrix = report.to_matrix()
print(matrix)
# Get insights
insights = report.get_insights()
print(f"Market Leader: {insights.market_leader}")
print(f"Most Aggressive: {insights.most_aggressive}")
print(f"Most Creative: {insights.most_creative}")
Troubleshooting
Rate Limiting Issues
from adspy import AdSpyClient, RateLimitError
from time import sleep
client = AdSpyClient(api_key=os.environ['ADSPY_API_KEY'])
def search_with_retry(keywords, max_retries=3):
retries = 0
while retries < max_retries:
try:
return client.search_ads(keywords=keywords)
except RateLimitError as e:
wait_time = e.retry_after or 60
print(f"Rate limited. Waiting {wait_time}s...")
sleep(wait_time)
retries += 1
raise Exception("Max retries reached")
Connection Issues
# Test connection
adspy test-connection
# Check API status
adspy status
# Verify credentials
adspy verify-credentials
Data Synchronization
# Force sync from network
client.force_sync(
network="facebook",
advertiser="Company Name",
date_range="7d"
)
# Check sync status
sync_status = client.get_sync_status()
for network, status in sync_status.items():
print(f"{network}: Last sync {status.last_sync}")
Performance Optimization
# Enable caching for faster repeated queries
client = AdSpyClient(
api_key=os.environ['ADSPY_API_KEY'],
cache_enabled=True,
cache_ttl=3600
)
# Use pagination for large result sets
ads = client.search_ads(
keywords=["software"],
pagination=True,
page_size=100
)
for page in ads.pages():
process_ads(page)
Debugging
import logging
# Enable debug logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
client = AdSpyClient(
api_key=os.environ['ADSPY_API_KEY'],
debug=True
)
# This will log all API requests and responses
results = client.search_ads(keywords=["test"])
Best Practices
- Use environment variables for API keys and sensitive configuration
- Enable caching for frequently accessed data to reduce API calls
- Implement retry logic for production environments
- Use batch operations when processing multiple advertisers
- Set appropriate monitoring intervals to balance freshness and rate limits
- Archive old data regularly to maintain performance
- Use filters early in pipelines to reduce data processing overhead

Popular data & databases skills
supabase-postgres-best-practices
supabase/agent-skills
Postgres best practices maintained by Supabase, for Postgres running anywhere. Load this skill BEFORE writing or changing anything that lives in a Postgres database: creating or altering tables and columns (including choosing column types), schema design, migrations and declarative schema files, RLS policies and the tests that verify them, indexes, triggers, database functions, queues and scheduled jobs (pgcron, pgmq), vector/semantic search (pgvector), and restoring dumps (pgrestore) or importing data. Also load it when diagnosing slow queries, high CPU, timeouts, EXPLAIN plans, connection exhaustion, locking, bloat, or rows visible to the wrong user or tenant. This is not just a performance guide — schema, migration, security, and SQL authoring tasks need these rules too, even for a one-column change or a single query.
