## Request

No request body. This read never starts a refresh; poll it while latest.state is running.

```

## Source

Public ads from the app's own advertiser page, matched by its exact app name. Ads are attributed only when the advertiser matches; no looser name matching is used.

## Refresh

A refresh walks the advertiser from its newest ad. This endpoint has its own quiet daily limit, separate from your plan's tracked-app number: 1 on Peek and 3 on Panda, in a rolling 24 hours, shared by a workspace. A refresh always walks the advertiser again; while an app's walk is still running, a refresh by anyone joins that walk and is not counted. A failed refresh is not counted at all.
