# Targetspot

> Targetspot is a global digital-audio advertising (AdTech) company founded in 2007 and headquartered in New York, now part of the Azerion platform. It connects brands with audiences across podcasts, online radio, streaming, in-video audio, mobile gaming and in-home/out-of-home audio. Its Passport product is a self-serve ad-serving and analytics platform for publishers and advertisers; Targetplay extends audio advertising into gaming and in-app inventory.

## API status

> Targetspot markets an API but publishes no developer surface. As of 2026-08-12 there is no developer portal, no API reference, no OpenAPI/AsyncAPI/GraphQL specification, no SDK in any public package registry, and no /.well-known/ discovery document on any Targetspot host. The Passport reporting API is referenced only as a product bullet — "Granular reporting: data visualization according to your inventory structure, available via API in your own tool" — and Targetspot On Demand (TOD), an on-demand ad-response API returning JSON ad objects, is documented only to partners. Access to both runs through the Passport tenant and the contact-sales form. The host api.targetspot.com resolves in DNS but refuses TCP connections on 80 and 443.
