## Getting Recent Targeting Data

The `get_targeting()` function allows you to retrieve targeting data for specific time windows:

```{r}
#| eval: false
library(metatargetr)

# Last 7 days
last7 <- get_targeting("121264564551002", timeframe = "LAST_7_DAYS")

# Last 30 days
last30 <- get_targeting("121264564551002", timeframe = "LAST_30_DAYS")

# Last 90 days
last90 <- get_targeting("121264564551002", timeframe = "LAST_90_DAYS")
```

## Understanding the Output

The function returns a data frame containing:

- Basic targeting information (gender, age, location)
- Detailed targeting options (interests, behaviors)
- Custom audience information
- Spending and reach metrics

## Getting Page Information

Use `get_page_insights()` to retrieve additional page information:

```{r}
#| eval: false
page_info <- get_page_insights("121264564551002", include_info = "page_info")
```

This returns details such as:

- Page name and verification status

- Follower counts

- Page category

- Creation date
