Branding and attribution

Your branding

Add branding to a catalog and every board, list and catalog page made from it shows "Data from your name" with your logo (24 px), linking to your URL. Exported images carry it bottom-left.

"branding": {
  "name": "lockercodes.io",
  "url": "https://lockercodes.io/nba-2k/tier-lists/badges",
  "logo": "med_abcdefghijklmnop"
}

logo is a media id you uploaded. A name that looks like a domain (such as lockercodes.io) must belong to one of your verified domains, otherwise the PUT fails with 400 branding_domain_unverified. That stops anyone from publishing under someone else's site name.

Verify a domain

Add the domain at Account, Domains to get a token, then prove you control it with either method:

DNS TXT record

_tiero.example.com.  TXT  "tiero-verify=<token>"

A file on your site

Serve the token, and nothing else, over HTTPS with no redirect (at most 1 KB):

https://example.com/.well-known/tiero-verify.txt
<token>

Press Verify when the record or file is live. tiero checks again when a domain has not been checked for 7 days; if the check fails, the domain loses its verified state until you fix it. You can add up to 20 domains.

Followed links

When branding.url is on one of your verified domains (or a subdomain of one), the link is a normal, followed link and shows a verified tick. Otherwise it carries rel="nofollow ugc noopener" and no tick.

Image credits

Give an item's image a credit ({name, url?}) and pages that show it list it under an "Image credits" disclosure as item name: credit name. Each tile also gets a tooltip, "Image: credit name". Credit links are always nofollow ugc noopener. TieroBoard renders the same disclosure.

The tiero credit

Every board and embed footer reads "Powered by tiero.io", linking to tiero.io with a ref for your embed or site, and exported images carry the tiero wordmark bottom-right. The credit stays on for premium accounts too. Your branding and the tiero credit sit side by side; neither replaces the other.
