How it works
- → Validates against IAB VAST 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 specs. Version is detected automatically from the
versionattribute. - → Checks for missing required fields, malformed URLs, empty elements, deprecated features, VPAID, version mismatches, and more.
- → Your XML is never stored. The validation response is returned immediately and discarded.
- → Want validation in CI/CD? Use the vastlint CLI
brew install aleksUIX/tap/vastlint - → Need a REST API? vastlint is on RapidAPI: validate VAST tags with a single HTTP call. Subscribe free →
