Questions about thebigred.co

How do I add thebigred.co to app-ads.txt?

Add one line for each account thebigred.co gives you: "thebigred.co, YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID, DIRECT". Use DIRECT when you hold the account yourself and RESELLER when a partner holds it and sells your inventory through thebigred.co. The account ID must be the seller_id thebigred.co lists for you in its sellers.json; thebigred.co 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 thebigred.co publish a sellers.json?

Yes. Its file at https://thebigred.co/sellers.json listed 82 sellers when we last read it on 9 October 2026: 73 publishers, 9 intermediaries and 0 listed as both; 0% are confidential.

How many apps declare thebigred.co in app-ads.txt?

25,589 apps in Stoqlab's data (delisted apps included) declare thebigred.co: 2,566 with at least one DIRECT line and 25,463 with at least one RESELLER line, across 2,050 app-ads.txt files. Counts are recomputed daily.

Why do thebigred.co lines fail verification?

Of 3,601 lines naming thebigred.co, 1,095 contradict its sellers.json. The most common case is "RESELLER but publisher" (1,064 lines): If the account is yours, declare it DIRECT. If a partner holds it, ask thebigred.co 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.
