StrikeAd

StrikeAd was a mobile advertising technology company, founded in New York City in 2010 and backed by Uncork Capital, that built Fusion - one of the first demand-side platforms (DSPs) built specifically for mobile programmatic advertising. Sizmek Inc. completed its acquisition of StrikeAd for approximately $11.7 million in May 2015 and folded the platform into Sizmek MDX; Sizmek itself was subsequently broken up, with its ad server going to Amazon and its DSP and DMP to Zeta Global. The StrikeAd brand no longer operates. Its primary domain (strikead.com) is now a parked domain on GoDaddy nameservers that answers every request - homepage, /.well-known/ discovery paths, and common contract paths alike - with the same 114-byte HTML lander redirect to /lander, confirmed against a negative-control path. The api., docs. and developer. subdomains do not resolve, and the github.com/strikead organization is named "ex-StrikeAd" and has zero public repositories. No developer portal, API documentation, OpenAPI definition, or other machine-readable API surface exists.

StrikeAd is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, Mobile, AdTech, and Programmatic.

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/.
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 github.com/api-evangelist/strikead: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

Standards implemented 1

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.

  detail: StrikeAd was acquired by Sizmek in May 2015 and the brand was retired; strikead.com is now a GoDaddy-parked domain
    whose catch-all responder returns the identical 114-byte /lander HTML for every path - including a nonsense negative-control
    path - so its 200s on /.well-known/ and /openapi.json are parking shells, not documents.
