Integration overview

How partners connect

Demand partners receive OpenRTB 2.6 bid requests from the MS Ads SSP and return bids within the timeout. Supply transparency uses ads.txt, sellers.json and the SupplyChain object. App publishers integrate through the App SDK.

  1. Apply as a partner

    Send your company details, demand type and target formats through the partnership page.

  2. Technical review

    We agree on endpoints, formats, timeouts and reporting.

  3. Test traffic

    A limited amount of traffic is sent so both sides can confirm requests, bids and notifications.

  4. Go live

    Volume is increased step by step while quality and spend are monitored.

OpenRTB bid requests

Banner, native, video, push and pop impressions with site, device, geo and SupplyChain data.

App SDK
