IAB Categories - Standardized Data API
Mobile apps and web domains/pages are divided into categories called Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) Categories. These categories sort advertisers into standardized industries and segments. Though these categories do not change often, you should use this reference API to get current IAB categories. This API allows advertisers to align with LinkedIn's IAB Categories.
