  note: No priced plans exist. A free Sovrn Platform account issues API keys; Commerce API access additionally requires an
    approved campaign, which Sovrn reviews only after affiliate links are installed and real clicks have flowed. Sovrn pays
    publishers a revenue share rather than charging for API calls.

name: Sovrn
description: Sovrn is an advertising technology and content monetization company that helps online publishers, advertisers,
  and creators earn revenue from their websites and audiences. Its platform spans Ad Exchange (an omnichannel programmatic
  demand pipeline connecting publisher inventory to buyers and DSPs), Signal (ad-inventory and yield optimization), Commerce
  (affiliate and commerce-content monetization, formerly VigLink, with access to tens of thousands of merchants), and Data
  solutions for first-party data activation. Sovrn publishes a ReadMe-hosted developer center at developer.sovrn.com carrying
  eight OpenAPI definitions across seventeen operations — affiliate link checking, real-time bid pricing on clicks, campaign
  management, real-time commission reporting, merchant rate summaries, product recommendations, price comparisons, promo codes,
  and Ad Exchange performance reporting — plus a beta hosted Commerce MCP server at mcp.sovrn.com/commerce, an Agent Skills
  discovery document, and llms.txt files on three hosts. Sovrn is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado.
