News Break

The NewsBreak MSP Monetization Reporting API serves the supply side, returning impressions, revenue, publisher net revenue and eCPM for publishers and monetization partners. NewsBreak also publishes an llms.txt that scopes AI access to its verified local-business content surface.
News Break publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Account Billing API, Ad Account API, Ad API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, AdTech, News, and Media.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commerce Platform Ecosystems (Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe Apps) | builds-on | 17.2 (thin) | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
