Ads.txt Offering: Soft Launch

Thanks to all who reached out.  We've moved an Ads.txt API into production and are seeking feedback on the initial offering leading up to a more formal announcement.  Presently we have ads.txt files for over 8,000 sites, many with multiple versions, with the overall volume growing daily.  Access to the API is gained through a simple registration for a key which can be completed here:

 https://www.themediatrust.com/ads-txt.php

Documentation for the API is attached, please feel free to register for a key to begin accessing data.

Once again, great thanks to all of you who engaged on the previous post, we're looking forward to continued collaboration to improve this offering.  We've created two offerings:

  Ads.txt Manager: Versioned API with planned developments, initial feature set includes:

• Query real-time ads.txt file data for any publisher with output in JSON or raw format
• Ads.txt file data archive access
• SSP lookup
• "Follow" publishers' Ads.txt files for change notifications

  Access will be offered free (with some requirements) through June 30th.  

  Ads.txt Finder: Basic API access to query by domain; this is a free offering for the time being.

 View the official announcement on our site.

Hi Jason, 

Thank you so much for giving ad-tech community access to Ads.txt administered by www.themediatrust.com . 

Have you considered  decentralized not governed by anyone specific "immutable ledger technologies" for Ads.txt ? 

Our team of dedicated and savvy ad-tech developers  made great  progress with numerous reference implementations 

of  decentralized ledger technologies ( DLT ) for both private/permission-ed  and public access ledgers.

We see a great potential in DLT for ad-tech and in particular for something like Ads.txt.

If you are interested to explore opportunities in this technology please reach out to us at in...@forkbid.com .

Best,

Vladimir.
