IAB Tech Lab

IAB Technology Laboratory (IAB Tech Lab) is the non-profit consortium that writes the technical standards the digital advertising supply chain runs on — OpenRTB (real-time bidding), AdCOM, OpenDirect (programmatic direct), VAST and VMAP (video ad serving), the Transparency and Consent Framework and Global Privacy Platform (consent signals), ads.txt, app-ads.txt and sellers.json (supply-chain transparency), the Open Measurement SDK and the content/audience/ad-product taxonomies. Its machine-readable contracts are published in the open on GitHub: an OpenRTB 2.x Protocol Buffers definition, the AdCOM protobuf, an OpenDirect Swagger specification, VAST XSDs, and an agentic-advertising stack (buyer-agent, seller-agent, Deals API, Agentic RTB Framework gRPC) that ships OpenAPI 3.1 contracts, JSON Schema primitives, MCP servers and A2A agent cards as reference implementations. The Tech Lab Tools Portal and its Core API sit behind a member login.

IAB Tech Lab publishes 43 APIs on the APIs.io network, including A2a API, Accounts API, Agent Registry API, and 40 more. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, AdTech, Standards, and Programmatic.

IAB Tech Lab’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, support, pricing, developer portal, changelog, and 36 more developer resources.

scored 2026-10-04 · rubric v0.23.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) 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/iab-tech-lab: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

Free tier, no form to fill in. Signing in shares your email address with us — we store it to create your key and to recognise you if you sign in with another provider. See our Privacy Policy and Terms.

A second provider on the same verified email joins the account you already have.
