iSpot.tv is a TV and video advertising measurement company that provides end-to-end measurement unifying creative assessment, audience measurement, and outcome attribution across linear TV and streaming. Its platform draws on data from tens of millions of smart TVs and set-top boxes to track ad occurrences, impressions, share of voice, creative effectiveness, and return on ad spend for advertisers, agencies, and networks. iSpot exposes its data programmatically through the iSpot REST API (v4), documented at a dedicated developer portal with quickstarts, an API reference, a Python sample, an interactive API demo tool, and release notes. iSpot.tv is backed by Insight Partners and was added to the API Evangelist network from that portfolio.
iSpot.tv is listed with 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, TV Advertising, Advertising Measurement, Analytics, and Attribution.
The iSpot.tv catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
iSpot.tv’s developer surface includes engineering blog, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, pricing, changelog, and 29 more developer resources.
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 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.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
