Competitive Analysis

Competitive Analysis Skill

Overview

When to Use

• Анализ конкурентной рекламы
• Стратегическое планирование
• Ценообразование
• Поиск рыночных возможностей

Ключа SerpAPI нет — что тогда

Сам фреймворк ниже ключа не требует: это порядок работы, а не скрипт. Ключ SERPAPI_API_KEY нужен ровно двум блокам кода в конце файла — сбору выдачи и разбору чужой рекламы.

Без ключа os.getenv("SERPAPI_API_KEY") вернёт None, SerpAPI ответит 401 Invalid API key — из этого текста не видно, что ключа просто нет.

Чем заменить, по убыванию точности:

Остальные разделы навыка — позиционирование, матрица сравнения, ценовой анализ — работают целиком без ключа.
