Tangazo — Advertising that pays everyone fairly.

Tangazo is an ad server built for African digital networks. Merchants create and fund campaigns; publishers place ad slots in their mobile apps and websites; the Tangazo team reviews every creative before it can serve and settles the money underneath it. Impressions and clicks are counted server-side, budgets are enforced in real time, and publishers see exactly what they earned.

Publishers register ad slots and call Tangazo's serving endpoint from their app or website. The REST API is fully documented with Swagger.
