spywin_export_shopify_productRead a public Shopify product page and return its title, prices, variants and images, plus a download link to a Shopify-import CSV (valid 24 hours) and the product's video ads if the SpyWinAds library has them.
spywin_get_video_reuse_researchHeadline numbers from SpyWinAds Research 'Video Reuse Index': how often Facebook video ads are old videos brought back, how many stores share a video, and how fast a video spreads to 5 stores. With method link.
spywin_get_my_scanner_statusStatus of the SpyWinAds desktop app on the user's computer: no_app (not installed / not paired), app_off (not seen for 5+ minutes), fb_paused (Facebook temporarily limited the home network, with the time scanning resumes), scanning or idle, plus jobs running and waiting. Scans on
spywin_get_my_overviewCounts for the signed-in user's SpyWinAds account: videos in each tab (Win, potential, scale, cash-cow, followed, testing, waiting for deep dig), videos found in the last 30 days, stores, and the latest keyword scan.
spywin_list_my_videosList the videos in one tab of the user's SpyWinAds account (only videos the user's own app found). Each video: product line from the ad, the day the video file first appeared on Facebook (or first ad if unknown), age in days, live ads, total ads seen, stores running it now, first
spywin_list_my_scansThe user's keyword scans in the last 30 days, newest first: scan id, start time (Vietnam time), first keyword, number of keywords, still running or done. Use the scan id with spywin_get_scan_results.
spywin_get_scan_resultsVideos one of the user's keyword scans found (50 per page, strongest first): same fields as spywin_list_my_videos plus the keyword and the tab the video is in, if any.
spywin_list_my_storesStores running videos from the user's tabs: domain, platform, Pages, which tabs, ads seen, when the store was last scanned and new videos found then.
spywin_get_video_historyNight-by-night history (up to 30 days) of one video in the user's account: Pages running it (live), stores running it (live), Win / scale / old ad counts, total ads, landing pages, and what changed from the night before.
spywin_queue_keyword_scanStart Facebook Ad Library keyword scans on the user's own SpyWinAds desktop app (it scans from the user's home network). Up to 10 keywords per call, 30 new keywords a day. Keywords someone scanned fully in the last 24 hours return at once from the library (status cached). If the
