🚀 Quick Start

Installation

npm install monetizedev
# or
yarn add monetizedev
# or
pnpm add monetizedev

Usage (CommonJS)

const { adNetworks, search, getStats } = require('monetizedev');

// Access ad networks
console.log(adNetworks.detailed[0].networks);

// Search across all 500+ platforms
const results = search('Google');
console.log(results); // All Google-related platforms

// Get stats summary
const stats = getStats();
console.log(stats.contentCreators); // { totalPlatforms: 55, totalCategories: 11, ... }

Usage (ES Modules / TypeScript)

import { contentCreators, search } from 'monetizedev';

// Browse content creator platforms
contentCreators.categories.forEach(cat => {
  console.log(`${cat.name}: ${cat.platforms.length} platforms`);
});

Direct JSON Import

If you only need the raw data, you can import specific JSON datasets (great for tree-shaking):

import adNetworks from 'monetizedev/json/ad-networks.json';
import podcasts from 'monetizedev/json/podcasts.json';

📖 API Reference

Data Access

Access specific datasets instantly using getter functions or direct object destructuring.

| Function | Returns | | :--- | :--- | | getAdNetworks() | Ad networks data | | getContentCreators() | Content creator platforms | | getDevelopers() | Developer platforms | | getFreelancers() | Freelancer platforms | | getInfluencers() | Influencer tools | | getPodcasts() | Podcast tools | | getPublishers() | Publisher platforms | | getAdvertisers() | Advertiser platforms | | getAll() | All datasets combined |

Global Utilities

| Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | | search(query: string) | Search platforms by name, category, or features across all datasets | | getStats() | Get a detailed summary of statistics from all datasets |

💡 Examples

1. Find Ad Networks with "Instant Approval"

const { getAdNetworks } = require('monetizedev');
const data = getAdNetworks();

const instantApproval = data.detailed
  .flatMap(cat => cat.networks)
  .filter(n => n.approvalCriteria?.toLowerCase().includes('instant'));

console.log(instantApproval.map(n => n.name));
// → ['Adsterra', 'PropellerAds', 'RollerAds', ...]

2. Search for a Specific Platform

Find all mentions of "Patreon" across every category (Creators, Podcasts, Developers, etc.).

const { search } = require('monetizedev');

const results = search('Patreon');
results.forEach(r => {
  console.log(`${r.name} (${r.source}) — ${r.category}`);
});

3. Build a Requirements Comparison Tool

Compare display ad networks based on their minimum requirements.

const { getPublishers } = require('monetizedev');
const publishers = getPublishers();

const display = publishers.categories.find(c => c.id === 'display-ad-networks');
display.platforms
  .sort((a, b) => a.requirements.localeCompare(b.requirements))
  .forEach(p => {
    console.log(`- **${p.name}**: ${p.requirements} (${p.revenueModel})`);
  });

🏗️ Data Structure

A quick look at the unified JSON structure that powers every platform entry:

{
  "name": "Google AdSense",
  "domain": "adsense.google.com",
  "bestOf": "Best for Beginners",
  "verified": true,
  "popularity": "Extremely High",
  "revenueModel": "CPC, CPM",
  "features": ["Display", "Native", "Video", "In-feed"],
  "fillRate": "95-100%",
  "approvalCriteria": "Quality content, 6+ months old site preferred",
  "minimumWithdraw": "$100",
  "paymentCycle": "NET 21",
  "adFormats": "Display, Native, Video, In-feed"
}

Note: Fields vary slightly by dataset to accommodate niche-specific data (e.g., ad networks include fillRate, while freelancer platforms include commissionFee).
