Append IAB tags π·οΈ
This is a guide for using our IAB Tags endpoint `content/recommend/iab_category` .This endpoint allows you to retrieve a list of IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) tags, which are used to categorize digital content and adverts based on industry-standard classifications. These tags can be leveraged in advertising and content management systems for more precise content targeting and compliance. We are currently using v.3 of the IAB categorization taxonomy.
What are IAB Tagsβ
IAB tags are a standardized set of categories designed by the IAB (Β Interactive Advertising BureauΒ ) to classify online content, making it easier for advertisers and publishers to match content with appropriate ads. These tags are organized hierarchically, starting with broad categories that branch into more specific subcategories.
For example:
- IAB1: Arts & Entertainment
- IAB1-1: Books & Literature
- IAB1-2: Celebrity Fan/Gossip
By using the endpoint, you can retrieve these categories and subcategories to label your content within AudioStack appropriately.
The IAB Tags API endpoint is available via a simple POST
request. No complex setup is required; just make the request and get the data you need. Our API docs are also here.
