GroundTruth

GroundTruth is a location-intelligence performance advertising platform (formerly xAd) that helps brands and agencies plan, launch, and measure omnichannel ad campaigns tied to real-world behavior. Its Ads Manager, proprietary Blueprints location-mapping technology, and Dynamic Intent Prediction AI turn visitation, behavioral, and demographic signals into targeting and store-visit and sales attribution across verticals including QSR/restaurants, CPG, auto, retail, healthcare, education, travel, and political. GroundTruth is backed by Emergence Capital and IVP and became part of ZeroToOne.AI in 2026. GroundTruth publishes two public REST API surfaces: the Ads Manager Public API at api-public.groundtruth.com (259 operations across accounts, organizations, tenants, campaigns, ad groups, creatives, audiences, jobs, uploads, search and reporting, with a live OpenAPI 3.1 document and Swagger UI at /docs), and the Groundtruth Reporting API at reporting.groundtruth.com (59 read-only demand-reporting operations described by an OpenAPI 3.0.1 document). Both authenticate with the paired X-GT-USER-ID and X-GT-API-KEY headers; credentials are issued on request rather than self-serve.

GroundTruth publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Ads Manager Public API and Reporting API. Tagged areas include Company, Martech, Advertising, Location Intelligence, and Marketing.

GroundTruth’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, signup flow, engineering blog, support, getting-started guide, authentication, and 22 more developer resources.

  note: STEP 0b contract discovery overturned the previous round. The 2026-07-19 pass recorded "publishes no public developer
    API surface"; two live first-party OpenAPI documents were found — https://api-public.groundtruth.com/openapi.json (OpenAPI
    3.1.0, 259 operations, 453 schemas, Swagger UI at /docs) and the Groundtruth Reporting API loaded by the provider's own
    Swagger UI at https://reporting.groundtruth.com/api (OpenAPI 3.0.1, 59 operations).
