Questions about Chartboost
How do I add Chartboost to app-ads.txt?
Add one line for each account Chartboost gives you: "chartboost.com, YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID, DIRECT". Use DIRECT when you hold the account yourself and RESELLER when a partner holds it and sells your inventory through chartboost.com. The account ID must be the seller_id Chartboost lists for you in its sellers.json; Chartboost will give it to you. Put the file at the root of the domain named as your developer website in the App Store and Google Play listings.
Does Chartboost publish a sellers.json?
Yes. Its file at https://chartboost.com/sellers.json listed 652 sellers when we last read it on 9 October 2026: 652 publishers, 0 intermediaries and 0 listed as both; 0% are confidential.
How many apps declare Chartboost in app-ads.txt?
95,064 apps in Stoqlab's data (delisted apps included) declare chartboost.com: 48,178 with at least one DIRECT line and 86,923 with at least one RESELLER line, across 11,674 app-ads.txt files. Counts are recomputed daily.
Why do chartboost.com lines fail verification?
Of 23,403 lines naming chartboost.com, 20,189 contradict its sellers.json. The most common case is "Seller ID not found" (16,111 lines): Ask Chartboost for the account ID it lists for you in its sellers.json, correct the line, or remove it if you no longer work with them. Buyers that check sellers.json drop these paths.
What is the difference between DIRECT and RESELLER?
DIRECT means the publisher owns the account; RESELLER means an intermediary sells the inventory on the publisher's behalf. DIRECT lines should match a PUBLISHER entry in the network's sellers.json, RESELLER lines an INTERMEDIARY entry.
