The platform scans 75M+ sites daily across 2,000+ platforms and has processed billions of takedowns, protecting creators, A-list talent, and global brands from AI-generated deepfakes, non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII), piracy, impersonation, and counterfeit content. Enforcement operates under DMCA §512, the US TAKE IT DOWN Act, the UK Online Safety Act, the EU Digital Services Act, and Ireland's Coco's Law. Ceartas is a subscription SaaS with a customer dashboard and no public developer API; this profile captures its published identity, pricing, status, and security/AI-consent surface.

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

x-note: Subscription content-protection SaaS with a customer dashboard (dashboard.ceartas.io) but no public developer API;
  no OpenAPI/SDK/OAuth surface exists to harvest, so spec-derived artifacts (openapi, scopes, errors, MCP, agentic-access,
  skills) are not-applicable rather than fabricated.
