Augur

Augur, Inc. was a Boulder, Colorado startup (founded 2012) that offered a cross-device attribution API using machine learning to recognize a unique device and its owner across laptops, phones, and tablets without relying on cookies, serving ad-tech and security customers to personalize experiences and improve conversion. Techstars-backed (also iGan Partners and Right Side Capital), Augur raised roughly $1.16M before being acquired by Wunderkind (formerly Bounce Exchange / BounceX) on 2017-05-04. The augur.io domain no longer resolves to a live product origin (Cloudflare edge returns HTTP 522) and no developer portal, API reference, or SDKs remain publicly reachable, so this profile is retained as an inactive/acquired historical record rather than a live API provider.

Augur is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Attribution, Cross-Device, AdTech, and Device Recognition.

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.
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 github.com/api-evangelist/augur: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
