What's New

June 28, 2016 New in release 3.12 we're pleased to announce Adbeat now offers data on video ads (also known as "pre-roll"). Both the advertiserMetrics and adMetrics handlers now return video ad data.

adMetrics now returns both the imageUrl and videoUrl fields for video ads. It also now supports the &publisherPld and &isChannel parameters and returns the publisherPld, isChannel, isSuperChannel, and hasChannels fields for each hit.


June 15, 2016 In release 3.11, the networks handler now returns an isNative flag. Native ad networks include, Outbrain, Taboola, etc.

The adMetrics method now supports multiple comma-separated values to be passed via its &adTypeId parameter, allowing you to craft more complex queries.


May 11, 2016 New in release 3.10 The adMetrics handler now returns campaign information (and supports the &campaignId parameter) for &publisherId={specific} (as well as the omission of this parameter to return all publisher-specific hits).

There's also a new campaigns method that returns campaign name auto-completion results.


Mar 15, 2016 New in release 3.9 There is now a campaignMetrics handler that returns campaign-specific results (limited to &countryId=us).

The adMetrics handler now supports the &campaignId parameter and returns the campaign(s) for each hit. However, this support is currently limited to &publisherId=all and &countryId=us.


Jan 20, 2016 New in release 3.8 We've got more support for Advertiser categories. advertiserMetrics now supports the &sortBy=categoryScoreThenImpact value and, if specified, it returns results sorted first by category score and then by adImpact. If categoryScoreThenImpact is used as the &sortBy parameter value, you MUST specify a &categoryId=xxx parameter.

The advertiserMetrics handler also now supports platform specific and network specific queries for categories.

And finally, there's a new categories handler that returns category auto-completion results.


Oct 9, 2015 New in release 3.5 we've started adding support for Advertiser categories. advertiserMetrics supports a new &categoryId parameter that allows you to limit your results to specific categories. It also has a new return field categoryIds. This is just Phase I of our advertiser category support... more updates coming soon.


Aug 17, 2015 We've released a hotfix for 3.4.4 that allows you to go even deeper with your queries.

Jul. 8, 2015 For release 3.4.4, we're pleased to announce two much requested features!

advertiserMetrics now supports a &maxPlacementUrls parameter. Setting this parameter along with specifying an &advertiserId and &publisherId will return the top placement URLs for the advertiser on that publisher.
