TVbeat

TVbeat is a London-based, Techstars-backed advertising technology company whose platform unifies linear television and streaming (CTV) advertising operations into a single system. It lets media owners and buyers forecast, plan, transact, optimize, and measure campaigns across audiences, yield, and operations, supporting multi-currency transacting (ratings, spots, impressions, and outcomes) and modern buying models — Direct, Programmatic, Self-Serve, and AI-driven — across both traditional linear spots and streaming inventory. TVbeat publishes a complete first-party API reference for its analytics API — three query endpoints signed with a custom TVBEAT-HMAC-SHA256 scheme, with two draft-04 JSON Schemas and example responses — in its own GitHub organization at github.com/tvbeat/public, but the API root it names (api.tvbeat.com) no longer resolves in public DNS and the document has not been modified since 2017. TVbeat ships no OpenAPI, SDK, CLI, MCP server or agent card, and its current documentation portal at docs.tvbeat.com is credential-gated.

TVbeat is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, AdTech, Television, and Streaming.

TVbeat’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, engineering blog, support, authentication, code examples, changelog, and 15 more developer resources.

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.

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/tvbeat: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

    The API root it documents, https://api.tvbeat.com, is NXDOMAIN on the system resolver, 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8, so no apis[]
