AdMeld

AdMeld was a New York City advertising-technology company founded in 2007 (by Ben Barokas and Brian Adams) that ran a supply-side platform / private ad exchange helping premium digital publishers optimize and monetize their ad inventory (serving 500+ publishers including FOX News and The Weather Channel). Google acquired AdMeld in 2011 for roughly $400M and folded its technology into the DoubleClick Ad Exchange. AdMeld no longer operates as an independent product and exposes no standalone public API; the admeld.com domain now serves a Google-maintained legacy landing page for DoubleClick Ad Exchange (Google nameservers, Google-hosted).

AdMeld is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Adtech, Advertising, Supply-Side Platform, and Programmatic Advertising.
