Outbrain Segments API

Segments give the ability to segment customers based on their actions, and retarget them with new or existing campaigns. This translates into your campaigns reaching a highly engaged audience that is more likely to convert and fulfill your brand's goals. With this functionality you'll be able to segment customers in two ways: Audience Retargeting (Type: PIXEL) and Story Sequencing (Type: CLICKERS).Please note: The PIXEL feature requires the installation of the Outbrain Custom Audience pixel, which can be retrieved from your account on Outbrain.com. If you have the old audience pixel installed, you will need to remove that before installing the new pixel. For additional information regarding obtaining and installing the pixel properly, please visit our help center here: http://help.outbrain.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2809479-how-can-i-create-custom-audiences

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Outbrain Segments API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
