  NextRoll publishes NO AsyncAPI document. Probed /asyncapi.yaml and /asyncapi.json on
  services.adroll.com, srv.adroll.com and apidocs.nextroll.com — nothing. This file is
  a faithful catalogue of the event surface the provider documents in prose, not a
  generated AsyncAPI spec. Nothing here is invented.
direction: inbound
direction_note: >-
  IMPORTANT for scoring and for agents: this is an event INGESTION surface — the
  customer's server sends events TO AdRoll. It is not a webhook/callback surface;
  NextRoll publishes no outbound webhook or subscription mechanism, and no `Webhooks`
  pointer is wired in apis.yml for that reason.
surface:
  name: NextRoll Server-to-Server (S2S) Event API
  endpoint: POST https://srv.adroll.com/api

  maturity: 'under active development — "generally stable, it may change. Event
    processing is not yet fully complete."'

event_count: 13
parallel_surface:
  name: AdRoll Pixel v2 JavaScript API
  method: adroll.track(eventName, attributes)
  note: The same thirteen event names are the supported browser-side events, so the
    S2S catalogue and the pixel catalogue are one vocabulary across two transports.
  see: components/nextroll-components.yml
mobile:
  page_location: >-
    Mobile app events build a synthetic URL on a domain the customer controls (it need
    not resolve), carrying device_os, device_type, package_app_name and
    package_app_version as query parameters, so URL audiences can target app events.
gaps:
- No AsyncAPI document, no JSON Schema for the event envelope, no channel bindings.
- No outbound webhooks or event subscriptions — reporting is pull-only via the GraphQL
  Reporting API.
- No documented delivery receipt, retry or deduplication contract for submitted events.
