Quantcast's client-side surface is a measurement tag rather than a UI
component library — there are no embeddable widgets, elements or hosted
dashboards. What it does ship is a browser script with a documented
JavaScript API, a non-JavaScript image-pixel fallback, a tag-manager
template family, and a browser SDK for token acquisition. Those are
catalogued here; the server-side packages live in
packages/quantcast-packages.yml.
