Spot Runner

Spot Runner is an AI-driven advertising technology company (backed by Battery Ventures) focused on contextual media planning for Connected TV (CTV) and online video. Its platform uses proprietary MicroModeling AI through tools such as ContextPlanner and ContextDeals to match advertiser creative to the most relevant, brand-suitable premium video ad opportunities across leading streaming networks, publishers, and TV OEMs, and to send Deal IDs directly to a buyer's DSP seat. Spot Runner also markets an "Agentic Agency" of multi-agent creative tooling for SMBs and DTC brands. The public surface is a marketing site plus an advertiser login portal; there is no published developer API, OpenAPI, or SDK. The site does expose a hosted Wix Site MCP endpoint for agentic AI access, advertised via its /llms.txt.

Spot Runner is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, AdTech, Connected TV, and CTV.

Spot Runner’s developer surface includes authentication and 10 more developer resources.

scored 2026-11-06 · rubric v0.27.0
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
  • 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)
  • Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
  • 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
10 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/spot-runner/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/spot-runner to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

    docs, spec or SDK anywhere; the advertiser portal's real backend at api.spotrunner.com/v1 is live (/health returns 200)
    but is the SaaS product's own private API, published nowhere, and the only public machine-readable surface is the Wix
    platform's Site MCP endpoint.
