AdStage.io

AdStage was a cross-network advertising management, reporting, and automation platform (a 500 Startups / 500 Global portfolio company, founded 2013) that let marketers pull normalized advertising data from Google Ads, Microsoft/Bing Ads, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Amazon, Google Analytics and more through a single unified interface. Its AdStage Data API (v1 and v2, HAL+JSON over HTTP with bearer-token / OAuth 2 auth) exposed user, organization, and advertising-entity data plus customizable cross-network reports. AdStage was acquired by TapClicks in April 2020 and folded into TapClicks' Marketing Intelligence platform; the standalone AdStage Data API (platform.adstage.io) is now defunct, though the AdStage GitHub organization and its API Blueprint documentation remain public. The adstage.io domain now serves unrelated PPC/advertising content under new ownership.

AdStage.io is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, AdTech, Marketing, and Analytics.

AdStage.io’s developer surface includes documentation and 2 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0

12 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Access Clarity scores 0.0 — up to +20.0 composite points
Developer Ergonomics scores 28.6 — up to +14.3 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/adstageio/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/adstageio to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
