FreeWheel Media

FreeWheel, a Comcast company, is an advertising technology platform for the streaming and premium video television marketplace. It gives advertisers, agencies, and media buyers direct connections to premium streaming TV inventory while helping publishers and programmers monetize their video content across linear and digital channels. Its product suites include the Advertiser Suite (media buying, planning, and campaign management via Strata), the Publisher Suite (ad decisioning, forecasting, and yield optimization for sellers), and a Marketplace connecting supply and demand. FreeWheel's platform emphasizes AI-driven optimization, real-time insights, identity, and cross-screen measurement for the converged TV ecosystem. Programmatic and operational access is delivered to partners through gated Publisher (MRM) and Marketer (SFX/Strata) platforms rather than a public self-service developer portal.

FreeWheel Media publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including FreeWheel Advertiser (Buzz) API, FreeWheel Demand Audience Management API, FreeWheel Demand Deal Sync API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, AdTech, Streaming TV, and Video Advertising.

FreeWheel Media’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, support, engineering blog, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, and 23 more developer resources.

    is a session cookie obtained by POSTing credentials to /authenticate; the base host is per-customer (the Buzz key), which
    is why the published server is templated.

  note: 'Contract discovery beat the docs host: FreeWheel''s published "OpenAPI Specifications" download links resolve to
    the ReadMe single-page-app shell, but the real specifications are embedded verbatim in the server-rendered props of the
    API reference pages. Four documents, 171 operations, harvested and saved.'
x-coverage:
  state: covered
  detail: Four OpenAPI documents harvested from FreeWheel's own developer portal. Two doc projects — /publisher (416 reference
    pages) and /strata (75) — are Disallowed in https://api-docs.freewheel.tv/robots.txt and were not crawled, so the Publisher
    (MRM) and Strata API entries carry documented facts only and no harvested specification.
