The Trade Desk is an independent, omnichannel demand-side platform (DSP) for programmatic advertising, headquartered in Ventura, California. Its cloud-based platform — Kokai (the current flagship, succeeding Solimar) — lets agencies, brands, and trading desks buy and optimize digital ad inventory across connected TV (CTV), audio, mobile, video, native, display, and digital out-of-home. The Trade Desk positions itself as the buy-side counterweight to the walled gardens by championing the open internet through OpenPath (direct publisher integrations that bypass SSPs) and Unified ID 2.0 (UID2), an open-source, deterministic identity framework governed by the IAB Tech Lab. The company also stewards EUID (UID2's European equivalent), the Galileo first-party data activation framework, and Koa — its in-platform AI used for forecasting, bidding optimization, and audience modeling. Programmatic developers integrate via the TTD Workflows API (REST + GraphQL for campaign, ad group, and creative management), the Data API (advertiser/third-party data ingestion, offline conversions, deletion/opt-out), the Real-Time Conversion Events API (RTCE), and the OpenSincera data-quality APIs (acquired May 2024). Official SDKs are published in Python, Go, and Java and are Speakeasy-generated from OpenAPI specs. Most documentation lives behind the Partner Portal (partner.thetradedesk.com) but a public docs surface is exposed at open.thetradedesk.com. The Trade Desk is publicly traded (NASDAQ: TTD).
The Trade Desk publishes 11 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Advertiser API, DeletionOptOut API, OfflineConversion API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Advertising, Programmatic Advertising, DSP, AdTech, and Connected TV.
The The Trade Desk catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
The Trade Desk’s developer surface includes API reference, signup flow, support, changelog, sandbox, authentication, developer portal, and 61 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 applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it
carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts
themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already
holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in
front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created.
Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet,
not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Show this score on your site.
It updates itself when the score changes. Paste this where you link to your API docs:
<a href="https://apis.io/providers/trade-desk/"><img src="https://apis.io/badge/trade-desk/card.svg" alt="The Trade Desk on APIs.io — Kin Score by API Evangelist"></a>

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
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
Typed Event Surface+6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
Documented Reversibility+6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
Agentic Commerce Well-Known Document+5 pts — a parsing /.well-known/ucp.json or acp.json declaring a version and at least one service, OR (0.27) a live x402 payment challenge from _data/x402-adoption.json — `self` when its endpoints are on the provider's own domain, `platform` when they are on a vendor's
3 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market:
its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted:
not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted.
Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
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.
