Cardlytics

Cardlytics is a commerce media platform that uses first-party purchase data from its financial-institution partners to help advertisers reach consumers inside banking apps with card-linked offers and measurable, closed-loop attribution. Advertisers plan, launch, and measure card-linked campaigns through Ads Manager and advertiser APIs, while banks and neobanks (publishers) embed Merchant Offers and the Cardlytics Rewards Platform into their digital channels via publisher APIs and SDKs. The company also operates the Dosh card-linked network and the Bridg offline purchase-intelligence business, giving advertisers person-level measurement across online and in-store spend. Cardlytics publishes three OpenAPI 3.0.1 definitions through its ReadMe developer hub — a Partner API for advertiser merchant and offer ingestion, reporting and a daily redemption feed; a Campaign Build API covering the Ads Manager campaign object model; and a Publisher API v2 for the bank-side rewards experience — alongside iOS, Android and web SDKs. Nothing is self-service: every credential is issued by an account manager under a partner agreement, and the API hosts answer 403 to anonymous callers. Cardlytics is a public company (NASDAQ: CDLX) and its platform is an enterprise, partnership-based product rather than a self-service developer API.

Cardlytics publishes 18 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Ads API, Ads Controller API, Audience Reach API, and 15 more. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, Commerce Media, Card-Linked Offers, and Purchase Intelligence.

The Cardlytics catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Cardlytics’ developer surface includes authentication, changelog, sandbox, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, and 31 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Banking & Open Finance 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 applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

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/cardlytics: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  note: Contract discovery beat the JS-rendered docs host — three real OpenAPI 3.0.1 definitions were live in the ReadMe api-registry
    behind platform.cardlytics.com, plus a full legacy documentation snapshot at docs.cardlytics.com. Prior rounds recorded
    no API surface.
