Common errors with decenterads.com lines
-
Seller type BOTH
1,666 lines
The account is listed as BOTH, so sellers.json alone cannot tell a buyer which relationship applies. Nothing to fix on your side; buyers usually look at the seller's domain.
-
RESELLER but publisher
955 lines
If the account is yours, declare it DIRECT. If a partner holds it, ask decenterads.com why the account is listed as PUBLISHER.
-
Seller ID not found
140 lines
Ask decenterads.com 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.
-
Confidential seller
2 lines
The seller is confidential in sellers.json: its name and domain are hidden, so buyers cannot confirm who it is.
-
DIRECT but intermediary
1 line
If a partner holds this account and resells your inventory, the line should say RESELLER. If the account is yours, ask decenterads.com to list it as PUBLISHER.

Questions about decenterads.com
How do I add decenterads.com to app-ads.txt?
Add one line for each account decenterads.com gives you: "decenterads.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 decenterads.com. The account ID must be the seller_id decenterads.com lists for you in its sellers.json; decenterads.com 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 decenterads.com publish a sellers.json?
Yes. Its file at https://decenterads.com/sellers.json listed 420 sellers when we last read it on 9 October 2026: 285 publishers, 125 intermediaries and 10 listed as both; 3.1% are confidential.
How many apps declare decenterads.com in app-ads.txt?
36,664 apps in Stoqlab's data (delisted apps included) declare decenterads.com: 12,616 with at least one DIRECT line and 34,472 with at least one RESELLER line, across 3,066 app-ads.txt files. Counts are recomputed daily.
Why do decenterads.com lines fail verification?
Of 8,375 lines naming decenterads.com, 1,096 contradict its sellers.json. The most common case is "RESELLER but publisher" (955 lines): If the account is yours, declare it DIRECT. If a partner holds it, ask decenterads.com why the account is listed as PUBLISHER.
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.
