Interactive intelligence tool

Run the check, then ship the workflow

Use the browser tool for a fast answer, then move the same logic into scripts, monitoring, or product flows when it becomes repeatable.

1
Start with the live form

Enter a domain, URL, IP, email, or record and get a focused result without setup.

2
Review decision-ready signals

Outputs highlight statuses, risks, records, and next actions instead of raw provider noise.

3
Automate the workflow that works

Use the request and response examples to turn a one-off check into an API call or recipe.

Frequently asked questions

Where must ads.txt be placed?

At the root of the domain, for example example.com/ads.txt, served as plain text.

What is the difference between DIRECT and RESELLER?

DIRECT means the publisher controls the account; RESELLER means another company sells the inventory on its behalf.

Why validate sellers.json?

A seller ID that sellers.json does not list, or lists with the wrong type, can make buyers skip your inventory.
