Adstxter

A simple chrome extension for checking ads.txt files. Provides a one-click test for the presence of given sellers. Active only when started by a user, otherwise it's suspended and not draining any resources. Handling of ads.txt follows the IAB Tech Lab ads.txt Specification Version 1.0.2.

Install from the Chrome Webstore.

Usage

  • Enter the list of seller seats you want to verify, as they appear in the ads.txt file.
  • The extension will automatically test ads.txt file on the loaded site.

Limitations

  • Checking ads.txt on subdomains is currently not implemented.

  • Due to JavaScript security limitations, it's not possible to control the number of redirects when fetching ads.txt. (AFAIK). As a result, the following ads.txt directive isn't honored:

    Only a single HTTP redirect to a destination outside the original root domain is allowed to facilitate one-hop delegation of authority to a third party's web server domain. If the third party location returns a redirect, then the advertising system should treat the response as an error.

    • IAB Tech Lab ads.txt Specification Version 1.0.2
