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.
