TAG-Certified Ad Fraud and Brand Safety
Standards market (tag certified against fraud / brand safety / malvertising / transparency seals). The Kin Score Market layer reads each provider in its market: who it integrates with, how deep those integrations go, and where the market publishes its own structure. Methodology.
Where this market publishes its structure
- TAG Registry (tagtoday.net/registry; registry-search public endpoint hubgloo.opxar.com) machine-readable, 410 companies, 168 with a seal; names only, no domain or TAG-ID in the record
- TAG Platinum Status members (tagtoday.net/certifications/platinum-status) machine-readable, names only, a subset of the registry; context
- tagtoday.net sitemap.xml machine-readable, program and news pages only; no company pages (compliant-company URLs 301 to /registry)
- TAG certified-against-fraud / malware / IQG compliant-company lists not machine-readable: retired: each URL 301s to /registry (read there)
- TAG Registry single-hit records not machine-readable: a query matching one company returns the record without its id or, for seal-only companies, its name; 321 such pages, none added a new named company
- TAG member portal not machine-readable: login (robots.txt disallow /member-portal); not read
Own = declares at least one integration itself; covered = visible only because an aggregator, standards body, regulator or partner contract names it; distribution-only = listed only on cloud marketplaces it sells through, a channel reported beside, never counted as its own declared integrations; undeclared = nothing we can read, so no number; declares_compatibility = providers with a `compatible` shape vote, report only (kin, 2026-10-13): never counted as own, never in depth or position.
Taxonomy how this market maps onto apis.io
Derived 2026-10-23 from the 65 providers in this market we could resolve in the catalog. The percentage is the share of those providers carrying each one; it describes the market, not the tag or industry. Tag groups have no page of their own yet, so they are listed unlinked.

Workflows
No in-market workflows yet; bridges: 2 (2 not yet mapped to a capability). In-market workflows only: a step on the market provider's side maps to this market's business capabilities (BC-400.60, BC-400.50), and the partner is not a generic export/notify app. Other workflows are counted as bridges (including any whose steps do not resolve to a capability yet).
