Dotdash Meredith / People Inc

name: Dotdash Meredith / People Inc
description: 'Profile for People Inc (formerly Dotdash Meredith) in the API Evangelist network.

  America''s largest digital and print publisher, operating 40+ brands including

  PEOPLE, Better Homes & Gardens, Allrecipes, Investopedia, Verywell, Food & Wine,

  Southern Living, Real Simple, Travel + Leisure, Byrdie, InStyle, The Spruce,

  EatingWell, Serious Eats, Simply Recipes, Brides, Health, Shape, Parents,

  Entertainment Weekly, Lifewire, TreeHugger, TripSavvy, The Balance, and more.

  An IAC (NASDAQ: IAC) operating company since the December 2021 merger of

  Dotdash and Meredith Corporation ($2.7B transaction); rebranded to "People Inc."

  on July 31, 2025 to elevate the company''s flagship brand. There is no public

  read/write developer API surface — the addressable machine-readable surface is

  per-brand RSS feeds, XML sitemaps, robots.txt policy declarations, and the

  D/Cipher intent-based contextual advertising platform sold as a B2B media buy

  (no self-serve developer console). All major brand domains explicitly disallow

  ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, GPTBot (partial), CCBot, PerplexityBot, and other AI

  crawlers in robots.txt, reflecting the company''s stance on unlicensed model

  training against its content corpus.
