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 publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, OOH, DOOH, and Programmatic Advertising.

Nickelytics’ developer surface includes support, signup flow, engineering blog, and 13 more developer resources.

  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.

  detail: One real machine-readable contract was found and harvested — the R-Ads platform authentication OpenAPI 3.1.1 served
    at /api/auth/open-api/generate-schema on both api.nickelytics.com and api-ads.robot.com. The advertising product surface
    at https://api.nickelytics.com/v1 exists but answers 401 with no published specification and no developer portal.

x-provenance-note: 'openapi/nickelytics-rads-auth-openapi.json was removed 2026-08-12: it is a generic ''Better Auth'' spec
  served from https://api-ads.robot.com, a domain this repo cannot tie to Nickelytics. nickelytics.com returns HTTP 404, so
  there is no provider documentation to justify the host. Per the enrichment pipeline''s STEP 0c ownership check, an unjustifiable
  contract is not saved. Recorded rather than silently dropped.'
