  • get_brand_podcastsWhich podcasts a brand advertises on.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_brand_podcasts" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Which podcasts a brand advertises on. Returns the shows where that brand's ad reads were detected, newest first, with the exact total even when the list itself is truncated for the plan. Accepts a brand name, slug or domain (a domain is the most reliable). Returns candidate brands when the name is ambiguous.
  • get_busiest_categoriesWhich advertiser categories are buying the most podcast ads right now, by ad reads detected, with the number of brands and shows behind each.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_busiest_categories" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Which advertiser categories are buying the most podcast ads right now, by ad reads detected, with the number of brands and shows behind each. Aggregate only — it does not list the brands in a category.
  • get_coverage_infoHow much of podcasting this dataset actually covers: shows indexed, episodes transcribed, and the real number of brands and shows with detected ad reads.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_coverage_info" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    How much of podcasting this dataset actually covers: shows indexed, episodes transcribed, and the real number of brands and shows with detected ad reads. Call this before stating any sponsor finding as complete, and to explain why a show or brand might be missing.
  • get_show_sponsorsWho sponsors a given podcast.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_show_sponsors" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Who sponsors a given podcast. Returns every brand whose ad read was detected in that show's transcribed episodes, with how many reads, whether they were host-read or network-inserted, and when they were first and last heard. Accepts a show title, a trackpodcasts.com slug or a URL. If the title is ambiguous it returns candidate shows to choose from instead of guessing. Detected ad reads only — brands that were merely mentioned are not included.
  • get_sponsor_activity_summaryHow a brand’s podcast advertising has moved month by month: shows reached, ad reads detected and organic mentions, for up to 36 months.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_sponsor_activity_summary" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    How a brand’s podcast advertising has moved month by month: shows reached, ad reads detected and organic mentions, for up to 36 months. Use this for trend questions ("is this brand spending more?", "when did they start?"). Months with no detections are returned as zero, which means nothing was detected rather than that the brand stopped.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
