Table of Contents
This page acts as a second landing page for search engines and human visitors. It adds crawlable internal links, keyword-rich context, and direct references to useful GitHub paths inside the AdsDB repository.
app-ads.txt, ads.txt, and sellers.json.
GitHub Directory Index
AdsDB stores transparency files in a deterministic path format. Most domain records follow a structure like
db/{first-letter}/{domain}/, with file names such as app-ads.txt,
ads.txt, and sellers.json depending on what has been collected.

Transparency File Guides
AdsDB is built around the three most important transparency file standards in open programmatic advertising:
ads.txt, app-ads.txt, and sellers.json.
| File Type | What It Means | Why People Search for It |
|---|---|---|
ads.txt |
Publisher-side declaration of authorized digital sellers for web inventory. | Used for publisher verification, fraud checks, and web supply chain transparency. |
app-ads.txt |
Developer-side declaration of authorized digital sellers for mobile apps and CTV apps. | Used for in-app bidding validation, app monetization checks, and DSP filtering. |
sellers.json |
Exchange-side declaration of publishers, developers, and intermediaries it represents. | Used for seller ID verification, exchange analysis, and supply path investigation. |
High-Value Index Files
In addition to individual domain folders, AdsDB includes index-style files that are useful for validation, discovery, and large-scale analysis.
asi_domains.txt
Full list of ad system domains scanned by the project.
asi_domains_valid.txt
Validated ASI domains with successful file discovery.
publisher_domains.txt
Large list of scanned publisher domains.
publisher_domains_valid.txt
Validated publisher domains with discovered transparency files.
Alphabetical Directory Shortcuts
The dataset is organized by the first character of the domain. Use these shortcuts to jump into the GitHub directory tree and browse domains by starting letter or number.
