linkedin_ads_track_competitor

Description

Register a LinkedIn advertiser for daily ad-library tracking — its company-page ads plus the posts from employees' own profiles it pays for. Pass organization_id when you know it — the numeric LinkedIn organization ID (the number in linkedin.com/company/<id>, or in an Ad Library URL's companyIds=). It is exact: an organization not yet in the corpus is looked up live by ID (about 20–40 s) and tracked in this same call under its real name; no ads from it → a plain "no ads" answer, nothing tracked. company_url accepts the same IDs as a URL — a numeric /company/<id> URL or an Ad Library search URL with one companyIds= (e.g. https://www.linkedin.com/ad-library/search?companyIds=17955831) — while a vanity slug is only a name guess ("hawkemedia" is not "Hawke Media" — pass name then). Otherwise pass name: the company name exactly as it appears on its LinkedIn page (e.g. "Refine Labs"). The name search is fuzzy: a name not yet in the corpus is looked up live and tracked if exactly one advertiser has that name; several advertisers → a candidate list and NOTHING tracked (retry with organization_id from it); none → a plain answer that LinkedIn has no ads from that name. Short or generic names (e.g. "Remote") can surface only lookalikes — use organization_id for those. countries (ISO codes, or ["ALL"]) sets where it is tracked; omit for the default. A new track, or new countries, starts a full background scrape (full_scrape: "started"); the response reports seeded, countries, full_scrape and any warning separately. Undo with linkedin_ads_untrack_competitor — ads already scraped stay in the shared corpus. The tracked-competitor plan limit is shared with Meta. Requires no LinkedIn connection.
