Overview

Our RTB Endpoint implementation is intended for publishers that want to access our server-to-server unified auction, but using a single server-side call instead of one of the client-side methods we offer. Often this is the case when the publisher has internal server-side technology managing their inventory.


Our RTB Endpoint is in private beta, so you will need to contact Support before using.


To use the endpoint:

1. Contact Support, and we will issue you your endpoint with the following format: https://e.serverbid.com/openrtb?s=[unique ID]

2. Configure your demand and placements through the ServerBid UI. Configurations will look no different than configurations accessed via other ServerBid activation options (e.g. Prebid, API, Ad Tags).
3. Using OpenRTB protocol, access your endpoint, making sure to include the following fields:
