Common errors with thebrave.io lines
-
Seller ID not found
12,875 lines
Ask thebrave.io 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.
-
DIRECT but intermediary
6,416 lines
If a partner holds this account and resells your inventory, the line should say RESELLER. If the account is yours, ask thebrave.io to list it as PUBLISHER.
-
Seller type BOTH
2,022 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
786 lines
If the account is yours, declare it DIRECT. If a partner holds it, ask thebrave.io why the account is listed as PUBLISHER.

Questions about thebrave.io
How do I add thebrave.io to app-ads.txt?
Add one line for each account thebrave.io gives you: "thebrave.io, YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID, DIRECT, c25b2154543746ac". Use DIRECT when you hold the account yourself and RESELLER when a partner holds it and sells your inventory through thebrave.io. The account ID must be the seller_id thebrave.io lists for you in its sellers.json; thebrave.io 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 thebrave.io publish a sellers.json?
Yes. Its file at https://thebrave.io/sellers.json listed 174 sellers when we last read it on 9 October 2026: 96 publishers, 58 intermediaries and 20 listed as both; 0% are confidential.
How many apps declare thebrave.io in app-ads.txt?
140,177 apps in Stoqlab's data (delisted apps included) declare thebrave.io: 46,151 with at least one DIRECT line and 139,800 with at least one RESELLER line, across 20,160 app-ads.txt files. Counts are recomputed daily.
What is the certification authority ID for thebrave.io?
99% of the app-ads.txt lines naming thebrave.io carry "c25b2154543746ac" in the fourth field. The field is optional; the IAB Tech Lab ads.txt 1.1 specification says identifiers in sellers.json supersede it, so a missing or different value does not make a line invalid.
Why do thebrave.io lines fail verification?
Of 139,283 lines naming thebrave.io, 20,077 contradict its sellers.json. The most common case is "Seller ID not found" (12,875 lines): Ask thebrave.io 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.
