Description
Research ecommerce products and stores using TikTok and Facebook ads, product data, and store intelligence from PipiAds.
README (SKILL.md)

Ecommerce Product Research

Use this skill to research ecommerce products and stores through TikTok/Facebook ad signals plus product and store intelligence.

Setup

  1. Visit the official website at https://pipiads.com/ to view real-time dashboard data and product UI.
  2. Visit https://www.pipispy.com/ to get your API key and manage billing/recharge.
  3. Set the environment variable: PIPIADS_API_KEY

When to Use

  • Find ecommerce products heavily advertised on TikTok or Facebook
  • Compare product detail, pricing, landing pages, and storefront patterns
  • Research stores, advertisers, and competitive positioning
  • Validate whether a product or niche is active across both platforms

When NOT to Use

  • The user only wants monitoring workflows
  • The user only wants natural TikTok content
  • The user only wants TikTok Shop-specific analytics

Core Tools

Ads & Products

  • search_ads
  • get_ad_detail
  • search_products
  • get_product_detail
  • search_adlibrary_products
  • get_adlibrary_product_detail

Advertisers & Stores

  • search_advertisers
  • get_advertiser_detail
  • search_stores
  • get_store_detail
  • get_store_competition
  • get_store_product_analysis
  • get_store_region_analysis
  • get_store_data_analysis

Recommended Workflow

  1. Start with search_products or search_ads in the target niche.
  2. Inspect winning candidates with product and ad detail tools.
  3. Use advertiser and store tools to understand who is selling and how broadly they operate.
  4. Summarize pricing, offer pattern, landing-page structure, and competitive density.

Cost Awareness

Each API call consumes credits from your PipiAds account:

  • List/Search: 1 credit per result returned
  • Detail: 1 credit per request (free if queried within 3 days)

Ask for category, price band, region, and platform before running broad ecommerce queries.

Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent for PipiAds-based ecommerce research, but take these precautions before installing or using it: 1) Audit the npm package ([email protected]) — inspect its repository, maintainers, and recent release notes; avoid installing global packages unless you trust them. 2) Consider installing the helper in an isolated environment (container or dedicated VM) rather than your primary system. 3) Use a dedicated PIPIADS_API_KEY with limited scope/monitoring and check billing/credit usage (the skill notes API calls consume credits). 4) Verify the pipiads/pipispy sites and the npm package provenance if you need higher assurance. 5) Be aware the skill can invoke the helper server with your API key, so treat that key as sensitive and rotate/revoke if compromised.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: ecommerce-product-research Version: 1.0.1 The skill is a standard integration for the PipiAds service, providing tools for ecommerce product and store research via an MCP server. It follows expected patterns for OpenClaw skills, including a global npm installation of '[email protected]' and the use of a dedicated API key (PIPIADS_API_KEY), with no evidence of malicious intent or suspicious behavior in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
✓ Purpose & Capability
Name/description ask for PipiAds-based ad and store research and the skill only requires a PIPIADS_API_KEY and npm to install a PipiAds helper server—these requirements are coherent and expected for this purpose.
✓ Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays on-scope: it instructs the user to set PIPIADS_API_KEY, optionally install/run the pipiads-mcp-server, and call PipiAds endpoints (search_ads, get_product_detail, etc.). It does not instruct reading unrelated files, other env vars, or exfiltrating data to unexpected endpoints.
ℹ Install Mechanism
Install is an npm global install: `npm install -g [email protected]`. This is a typical mechanism but carries the usual npm risks (running third-party code on your machine). The package is version-pinned, which helps, but you should verify the package origin, repository, and contents before installing globally.
✓ Credentials
Only a single credential (PIPIADS_API_KEY) is required and declared as the primary credential, which matches the skill's purpose. No unrelated secrets or config paths are requested.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
Skill does not request always:true and will not be force-included. It defines an mcpServer command to run the installed helper binary with the provided API key, which is within the skill's scope and does not modify other skills or system-wide agent settings.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install ecommerce-product-research
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /ecommerce-product-research
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
