Nickelytics

Nickelytics is a data-driven out-of-home (OOH) and digital-out-of-home (DOOH) advertising platform that turns moving assets into measurable media. It wraps gig-economy and rideshare vehicles, autonomous sidewalk delivery robots, and e-scooters with brand campaigns, then layers geo-targeting, programmatic DOOH buying, route verification, proof-of-play, and performance reporting into a single campaign dashboard. Nickelytics was acquired by Kiwibot for roughly $25M in September 2024; Kiwibot rebranded to Robot.com in 2025 and Nickelytics now ships as the "R-Ads" advertising product, a self-serve suite covering robot media (RDOOH), vehicle wraps (MOOH) and digital screens (DOOH), bought through the R-Ads Ad Manager at admanager.robot.com. Nickelytics publishes no developer portal, API reference or SDKs. The only machine-readable contract it serves is the platform authentication API — a Better Auth instance whose OpenAPI 3.1.1 document is public at api.nickelytics.com and api-ads.robot.com — while the campaign/reporting surface behind /v1 is authenticated and undocumented.

Nickelytics is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, Out-of-Home, Digital Out Of Home, and Programmatic Advertising.

Nickelytics’ developer surface includes support, signup flow, engineering blog, and 16 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/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link

9 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

  description: The authentication, session, organization and admin API behind the Nickelytics / R-Ads Ad Manager. It is a
    Better Auth instance whose auto-generated OpenAPI 3.1.1 document is served publicly at /api/auth/open-api/generate-schema
    on both api.nickelytics.com and api-ads.robot.com (the same AWS load balancer), covering email and social sign-in, sessions,
    account linking, JWT/JWKS issuance, organizations, teams, invitations, SSO providers, admin user management and audit
    events. It is a framework-generated auth surface, not a documented advertising product API — the campaign and reporting
    surface at /v1 answers 401 "Authorization header required" and publishes no specification.
