description: 'Minute Media is a global technology, media, and advertising company that builds and operates digital sports
  and entertainment content brands while licensing publishing and monetization technology to third parties. Its owned-and-operated
  properties include Sports Illustrated, The Players'' Tribune, 90min, Mental Floss, FanSided, The Big Lead, and DBLTAP, reaching
  a reported 200+ million monthly users. On the technology side it offers the STN Online Video Platform (OVP) for video publishing
  and monetization, a Minute Media SSP for programmatic advertising, and ad-management solutions for publishers. Minute Media
  was surfaced as a portfolio company of Battery Ventures and added to the API Evangelist network for enrichment. The company
  publishes no developer portal, no API reference and no machine-readable API definition, but two real API surfaces are live
  and were verified by probe: a public oEmbed 1.0 endpoint at embed.sendtonews.com that any publisher can call unauthenticated,
  and a credential-gated STN Video Publisher API at api.sendtonews.com/api/v1 whose only public client is Minute Media''s
  own WordPress plugin. Both hosts still carry the pre-acquisition SendtoNews brand two renames later.'

- name: STN Video oEmbed API
  description: The public oEmbed 1.0 provider endpoint for STN Video (formerly SendtoNews), Minute Media's online video platform.
    A GET with a URL-encoded `url` naming an embed.sendtonews.com resource that carries an `SC` share code or an `fk` video
    key returns a type `video` oEmbed payload — provider_name, author_name, title, width, height, cache_age and the player
    `html` — in either JSON or XML. It is unauthenticated and CORS-open, and it is the surface Minute Media registers with
    WordPress through its own oEmbed plugin. Verified live with an HTTP 200 on 2026-08-12.

- name: STN Video Publisher API
  description: The credential-gated publisher API behind the STN Online Video Platform. Every operation is a POST to https://api.sendtonews.com/api/v1/
    carrying a `cid` (Company ID) and `authcode` (Authentication Code) in the request body; the operations exercised by Minute
    Media's own WordPress Player Selector plugin are auth/verifycode, players, categories and stories, the last supporting
    search, language, category and offset/length paging over a publisher's video library. There is no public reference and
    no machine-readable definition; credentials are issued by emailing publishers@stnvideo.com. Verified live on 2026-08-12
    — an unauthenticated POST returns HTTP 422 with a structured validation envelope.
