A channel represents your AI experience connected to the AIARCO ad network. Each channel has its own API key and analytics.

​
What Is a Channel?

A channel is the connection point between your AI product and AIARCO. Each channel gets a unique API key for authenticating ad requests, and separate analytics — impressions, clicks, and revenue tracked independently. You can have multiple channels if you operate multiple AI products. Each gets its own API key and earnings.

​
Getting a Channel

To request a channel:
  1. Sign up as a publisher at publishers.ads.aiarco.com
  2. Contact us at publishers@aiarco.com with:
    • Your AI product name and URL
    • Type of AI experience (search, chatbot, website, etc.)
    • Expected monthly traffic / queries
    • Preferred integration method (REST, SDK, Woven, MCP)
  3. We’ll create your channel and assign your API key.

​
Using Your API Key

Every ad request must include your channel API key in the X-AIARCO-API-Key header: 
curl -X POST https://ads-api.aiarco.com/api/v1/offers \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-AIARCO-API-Key: YOUR_CHANNEL_KEY" \
  -d '{ "query": "best running shoes" }'
Security: Keep your API key private. Do not expose it in client-side code. For web integrations, use the JavaScript SDK which handles key security automatically.

​
Multiple Channels

If you operate multiple AI products, each can be a separate channel with its own API key and analytics. Benefits:
  • Track revenue per product independently
  • Use different integration methods per channel
  • Separate revenue reporting and payouts
