description: flytedesk is the campus advertising platform that connects national brands with college media across the United
  States. Founded in 2015 in Boulder, Colorado, it operates the largest network of campus media in the US, letting advertisers
  create, book, manage, and measure national campaigns across print, digital, email newsletters, social, influencer, radio,
  and out-of-home channels reaching millions of college students. For college publishers and campus media organizations, its
  self-serve platform provides tools to build, manage, and monetize their media ecosystem, along with an Audience Builder
  for targeting. flytedesk is backed by Techstars. The company publishes no developer portal, no API reference and no SDK,
  but it does operate a first-party GraphQL API at api.app.flytedesk.com with introspection enabled, so its full 374-type
  schema is publicly readable and is captured here.

  description: 'The first-party GraphQL API behind the flytedesk application — the campus advertising marketplace covering
    suppliers (campus media organizations), campuses, buyers, audiences, ad shops, campaigns, ads, orders, invoicing and finance
    tracking. It is not a documented developer API: FlyteDesk publishes no portal, no reference and no SDK, and credentials
    are issued by invitation through the product. It is captured here because introspection is enabled on the production endpoint,
    so the complete schema (374 types, 37 queries, 25 mutations) is publicly readable and machine-usable.'

  note: Round 1 recorded "The company exposes no public developer API." That was wrong. STEP 0b contract discovery found the
    API base https://api.app.flytedesk.com in the app.flytedesk.com SPA bundle; POSTing a GraphQL introspection query to /api/graphql
    returns HTTP 200 anonymously with the full 374-type schema. FlyteDesk also serves a real llms.txt at www.flytedesk.com/llms.txt
    and publishes three packaged Agent Skills in github.com/Flytedesk/flytedesk-skills. No OpenAPI, no MCP server, no agent
    card, no /.well-known/ document, no pricing page, no status page and no SDK for its own API.
