How to Add a New Bidder Adapter

At a high level, a bidder adapter is responsible for:

1. Creating the bid requests for the bidder’s server.
2. Parsing and registering the bid responses.

This page has instructions for writing your own bidder adapter. The instructions here try to walk you through some of the code you’ll need to write for your adapter. When in doubt, use the working adapters in the GitHub repo for reference.

Required Adapter Conventions

In order to provide a fast and safe header bidding environment for publishers, the Prebid.org team reviews all adapters for the following required conventions:

• Support multiple instances: All adapters must support the creation of multiple concurrent instances. This means, for example, that adapters cannot rely on mutable global variables.
• No loading of external libraries: All code must be present in the adapter, not loaded at runtime. Exceptions are possible – see the full policy.
• Must support HTTPS: Within a secure page context, the request to the bidder’s server must also be secure.
• Compressed responses: All bid responses from the bidder’s server must be gzipped.
• Bid responses may not use JSONP: All requests must be AJAX with JSON responses.
• All user-sync activity must be registered via the provided functions: The platform will place all registered syncs in the page after the auction is complete, subject to publisher configuration.
• Adapters may not create or trigger any network requests or pixels outside of the requests that wrapper creates on behalf of the adapter from the return values of buildRequests() and getUserSyncs() or are included in a winning and rendered creative.
• Adapters may not use the $$PREBID_GLOBAL$$ variable: Instead, they must load any necessary functions and call them directly.
• Adapters may not modify ad slots directly: e.g. Accessing googletag.pubads().getSlots() to modify or set targeting directly on slots is not permitted.
• Adapters may not override standard ad server targeting: Do not override, or set default values for any of the standard targeting variables: hb_adid, hb_bidder, hb_pb, hb_deal, or hb_size, hb_source, hb_format.

Failure to follow any of the above conventions could lead to delays in approving your adapter for inclusion in Prebid.js.

Pull requests for non-1.0 compatible adapters will not be reviewed or accepted on the legacy branch.

Prebid.org does not support any version of Prebid.js prior to version 1.0.

Required Files

With each adapter submission, there are two files required to be in the pull request:

• modules/exampleBidAdapter.js: the file containing the code for the adapter
• modules/exampleBidAdapter.md: a markdown file containing key information about the adapter:
  • The contact email of the adapter’s maintainer.
  • A test ad unit that will consistently return test creatives. This helps us to ensure future Prebid.js updates do not break your adapter. Note that if your adapter supports video (instream and/or outstream context) or native, you must also provide example parameters for each type.

Example markdown file:

    var adUnits = [
        {
            code: 'test-div',
            mediaTypes: {
                banner: {
                    sizes: [[300, 250]],  // a display size
                }
            },
            bids: [
                {
                    bidder: "example",
                    params: {
                        placement: '12345'
                    }
                }
            ]
        },{
            code: 'test-div',
            mediaTypes: {
                banner: {
                    sizes: [[320, 50]],   // a mobile size
                }
            },
            bids: [
                {
                    bidder: "example",
                    params: {
                        placement: 67890
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    ];
```

Designing your Bid Params

The parameters of your ad request will be stored in the ad unit’s bid.params object. You can include tag info, ad size, keywords, and other data such as video parameters.

For more information about the kinds of information that can be passed using these parameters, see the example below, as well as the existing bidder parameters.

{
    var adUnits = [{
        code: "top-med-rect",
        mediaTypes: {
            banner: {
                sizes: [
                    [300, 250],
                    [300, 600]
                ]
            }
        },
        bids: [{
            bidder: "example",
            // params is custom to the bidder adapter and will be
            // passed through from the configuration as is.
            params: {
                unit: '3242432',
                pgid: '123124',
                custom: {
                    other: "xyz"
                }
            },
        }]
    }];

Creating the Adapter

If you’re the type that likes to skip to the answer instead of going through a tutorial, see the Full Bid Adapter Example below.

• Overview
• Building the Request
• Interpreting the Response
• Registering User Syncs
• Registering on Timeout

Overview

The new code will reside under the modules directory with the name of the bidder suffixed by ‘BidAdapter’, e.g., exampleBidAdapter.js.

Compared to previous versions of Prebid, the new BaseAdapter model saves the adapter from having to make the AJAX call and provides consistency in how adapters are structured. Instead of a single entry point, the BaseAdapter approach defines the following entry points:

• isBidRequestValid - Verify the the AdUnits.bids, respond with true (valid) or false (invalid).
• buildRequests - Takes an array of valid bid requests, all of which are guaranteed to have passed the isBidRequestValid() test.
• interpretResponse - Parse the response and generate one or more bid objects.
• getUserSyncs - If the publisher allows user-sync activity, the platform will call this function and the adapter may register pixels and/or iframe user syncs. For more information, see Registering User Syncs below.
• onTimeout - If the adapter timed out for an auction, the platform will call this function and the adapter may register timeout. For more information, see Registering User Syncs below.

A high level example of the structure:

import * as utils from 'src/utils';
import { registerBidder } from 'src/adapters/bidderFactory';
import { config } from 'src/config';
const BIDDER_CODE = 'example';
export const spec = {
    code: BIDDER_CODE,
    aliases: ['ex'], // short code
    isBidRequestValid: function(bid) {},
    buildRequests: function(validBidRequests[], bidderRequest) {},
    interpretResponse: function(serverResponse, request) {},
    getUserSyncs: function(syncOptions, serverResponses, gdprConsent, uspConsent) {},
    onTimeout: function(timeoutData) {},
    onBidWon: function(bid) {},
    onSetTargeting: function(bid) {}
}
registerBidder(spec);

Building the Request

When the page asks Prebid.js for bids, your module’s buildRequests function will be executed and passed two parameters:

• validBidRequests[] - An array of bidRequest objects, one for each AdUnit that your module is involved in. This array has been processed for special features like sizeConfig, so it’s the list that you should be looping through.
• bidderRequest - The master bidRequest object. This object is useful because it carries a couple of bid parameters that are global to all the bids.

buildRequests: function(validBidRequests, bidderRequest) {
   ...
   return ServerRequestObjects;
}

Building the request will use data from several places:

• Ad Unit Params: The arguments provided by the page are in validBidRequests[].
• BidRequest Params: Several important parameters such as userId, GDPR, USP, and supply chain values are on the bidderRequest object.
• Prebid Config: Publishers can set a number of config values that bid adapters should consider reading.

Ad Unit Params in the validBidRequests Array

Here is a sample array entry for validBidRequests[]:

[{
  adUnitCode: "test-div"
  auctionId: "b06c5141-fe8f-4cdf-9d7d-54415490a917"
  bidId: "22c4871113f461"
  bidder: "rubicon"
  bidderRequestId: "15246a574e859f"
  bidRequestsCount: 1
  bidderRequestsCount: 1
  bidderWinsCount: 0
  userId: {...}
  schain: {...}
  mediaTypes: {banner: {...}}
  params: {...}
  src: "client"
  transactionId: "54a58774-7a41-494e-9aaf-fa7b79164f0c"
}]

Retrieve your bid parameters from the params object.

Other notes:

• Bid ID is unique across ad units and bidders.
• Transaction ID is unique for each ad unit with a call to requestBids(), but same across bidders. This is the ID that enables DSPs to recognize the same impression coming in from different supply sources.
• Bid Request Count is the number of times requestBids() has been called for this ad unit.
• Bidder Request Count is the number of times requestBids() has been called for this ad unit and bidder.
• userId is where bidders can look for IDs offered by the various User ID modules.
• schain is where bidders can look for any Supply Chain data that they should pass through to the endpoint.

bidderRequest Parameters

Here is a sample bidderRequest object:

{
  auctionId: "b06c5141-fe8f-4cdf-9d7d-54415490a917",
  auctionStart: 1579746300522,
  bidderCode: "myBidderCode",
  bidderRequestId: "15246a574e859f",
  bids: [{...}],
  gdprConsent: {consentString: "BOtmiBKOtmiBKABABAENAFAAAAACeAAA", vendorData: {...}, gdprApplies: true},
  refererInfo: {
    canonicalUrl: undefined,
    numIframes: 0,
    reachedTop: true,
    referer: "http://mypage?pbjs_debug=true"
  }
}

Notes on parameters in the bidderRequest object:

• auctionID is unique per call to requestBids(), but is the same across ad units.
• refererInfo is provided so you don’t have to call any utils functions. See below for more information.
• gdprConsent is the object containing data from the GDPR ConsentManagement module
• uspConsent is the object containing data from the US Privacy ConsentManagement module

Prebid Config

There are a number of important values that a publisher can set in the page that your bid adapter may need to take into account:

Referrers

Referrer information should be passed to your endpoint in contexts where the original page referrer isn’t available directly to the adapter. Use the bidderRequest.refererInfo property to pass in referrer information. This property contains the following parameters:

• referer: a string containing the detected top-level URL.
• reachedTop: a boolean specifying whether Prebid was able to walk up to the top window.
• numIframes: the number of iFrames.
• stack: a string of comma-separated URLs of all origins.
• canonicalUrl: a string containing the canonical (search engine friendly) URL defined in top-most window.

The URL returned by refererInfo is in raw format. We recommend encoding the URL before adding it to the request payload to ensure it will be sent and interpreted correctly.

The output of buildRequests: ServerRequest Objects

You shouldn’t call your bid endpoint directly. Rather, the end result of your buildRequests function is one or more ServerRequest objects. These objects have this structure:

Here’s a sample block of code returning a ServerRequest object:

return {
    method: 'POST',
    url: URL,
    data: payloadObject
};

Interpreting the Response

The interpretResponse function will be called when the browser has received the response from your server. The function will parse the response and create a bidResponse object containing one or more bids. The adapter should indicate no valid bids by returning an empty array. An example showing a single bid:

    // if the bid response was empty or an error, return []
    // otherwise parse the response and return a bidResponses array

    // The response body and headers can be retrieved like this:
    //
    // const serverBody = serverResponse.body;
    // const headerValue = serverResponse.headers.get('some-response-header')
    const bidResponses = [];
    const bidResponse = {
        requestId: BID_ID,
        cpm: CPM,
        currency: CURRENCY,
        width: WIDTH,
        height: HEIGHT,
        creativeId: CREATIVE_ID,
        dealId: DEAL_ID,
        netRevenue: true,
        ttl: TIME_TO_LIVE,
        ad: CREATIVE_BODY,
        dealId: DEAL_ID,
        meta: {
            networkId: NETWORK_ID,
            networkName: NETWORK_NAME
            agencyId: AGENCY_ID,
            agencyName: AGENCY_NAME,
            advertiserId: ADVERTISER_ID,
            advertiserName: ADVERTISER_NAME,
            advertiserDomains: [ARRAY_OF_ADVERTISER_DOMAINS]
            brandId: BRAND_ID,
            brandName: BRAND_NAME,
            primaryCatId: IAB_CATEGORY,
            secondaryCatIds: [ARRAY_OF_IAB_CATEGORIES],
            mediaType: MEDIA_TYPE
        }
    };
    bidResponses.push(bidResponse);
    return bidResponses;

Please provide as much information as possible in the meta object. Publishers use this data for tracking down bad creatives and ad blocking. The advertiserDomains field is particularly useful. Some of these fields may become required in a future release.

The parameters of the bidResponse object are:

Registering User Syncs

All user ID sync activity should be done using the getUserSyncs callback of the BaseAdapter model.

Given an array of all the responses from the server, getUserSyncs is used to determine which user syncs should occur. The order of syncs in the serverResponses array matters. The most important ones should come first, since publishers may limit how many are dropped on their page.

See below for an example implementation. For more examples, search for getUserSyncs in the modules directory in the repo.

{
    getUserSyncs: function(syncOptions, serverResponses, gdprConsent, uspConsent) {
       const syncs = []

       var gdpr_params;
       if (typeof gdprConsent.gdprApplies === 'boolean') {
           gdpr_params = `gdpr=${Number(gdprConsent.gdprApplies)}&gdpr_consent=${gdprConsent.consentString}`;
       } else {
           gdpr_params = `gdpr_consent=${gdprConsent.consentString}`;
       }

        if (syncOptions.iframeEnabled) {
            syncs.push({
                type: 'iframe',
                url: '//acdn.adnxs.com/ib/static/usersync/v3/async_usersync.html?' + gdpr_params
            });
        }
        if (syncOptions.pixelEnabled && serverResponses.length > 0) {
            syncs.push({
                type: 'image',
                url: serverResponses[0].body.userSync.url + gdpr_params
            });
        }
        return syncs;
    }
}

Registering on Timeout

The onTimeout function will be called when an adpater timed out for an auction. Adapter can fire a ajax or pixel call to register a timeout at thier end.

Sample data received to this function:

{
  "bidder": "example",
  "bidId": "51ef8751f9aead",
  "params": {
    ...
  },
  "adUnitCode": "div-gpt-ad-1460505748561-0",
  "timeout": 3000,
  "auctionId": "18fd8b8b0bd757"
}

Registering on Bid Won

The onBidWon function will be called when a bid from the adapter won the auction.

Sample data received by this function:

{
  "bidder": "example",
  "width": 300,
  "height": 250,
  "adId": "330a22bdea4cac",
  "mediaType": "banner",
  "cpm": 0.28
  "ad": "...",
  "requestId": "418b37f85e772c",
  "adUnitCode": "div-gpt-ad-1460505748561-0",
  "size": "350x250",
  "adserverTargeting": {
    "hb_bidder": "example",
    "hb_adid": "330a22bdea4cac",
    "hb_pb": "0.20",
    "hb_size": "350x250"
  }
}

Registering on Set Targeting

The onSetTargeting function will be called when the adserver targeting has been set for a bid from the adapter.

Sample data received by this function:

{
  "bidder": "example",
  "width": 300,
  "height": 250,
  "adId": "330a22bdea4cac",
  "mediaType": "banner",
  "cpm": 0.28,
  "ad": "...",
  "requestId": "418b37f85e772c",
  "adUnitCode": "div-gpt-ad-1460505748561-0",
  "size": "350x250",
  "adserverTargeting": {
    "hb_bidder": "example",
    "hb_adid": "330a22bdea4cac",
    "hb_pb": "0.20",
    "hb_size": "350x250"
  }
}

Supporting Video

Follow the steps in this section to ensure that your adapter properly supports video.

Step 1: Register the adapter as supporting video

Add the supportedMediaTypes argument to the spec object, and make sure video is in the list:

export const spec = {
    code: BIDDER_CODE,
    supportedMediaTypes: ['video'],
    ...
}

If your adapter supports banner and video media types, make sure to include 'banner' in the supportedMediaTypes array as well

Step 2: Accept video parameters and pass them to your server

Video parameters are often passed in from the ad unit in a video object.

The design of these parameters may vary depending on what your server-side bidder accepts. If possible, we recommend using the video parameters in the OpenRTB specification.

For examples of video parameters accepted by different adapters, see the list of bidders with video demand.

Ingesting the Video Context

Video ad units have a publisher-defined video context, which can be either 'instream' or 'outstream' or 'adpod'. Video demand partners can choose to ingest this signal for targeting purposes. For example, the ad unit shown below has the outstream video context:

...
mediaTypes: {
    video: {
        context: 'outstream'
    },
},
...

You can check for the video context in your adapter as shown below, and then modify your response as needed:

const videoMediaType = utils.deepAccess(bid, 'mediaTypes.video');
const context        = utils.deepAccess(bid, 'mediaTypes.video.context');

if (bid.mediaType === 'video' || (videoMediaType && context !== 'outstream')) {
    /* Do something here. */
}

Long-Form Video Content

Following is Prebid’s way to setup bid request for long-form, apadters are free to choose their own approach.

Prebid now accepts multiple bid responses for a single bidRequest.bids object. For each Ad pod Prebid expects you to send back n bid responses. It is up to you how bid responses are returned. Prebid’s recommendation is that you expand an Ad pod placement into a set of request objects according to the total adpod duration and the range of duration seconds. It also depends on your endpoint as well how you may want to create your request for long-form. Appnexus adapter follows below algorithm to expand its placement.

Use case 1: I want to request my endpoint to return bids with varying ranges of durations

AdUnit config
{
  ...
  adPodDuration: 300,
  durationRangeSec: [15, 30]
  ...
}

Algorithm
# of placements = adPodDuration / MIN_VALUE(durationRangeSec)

Each placement set max duration:
placement.video.maxduration = MAX_VALUE(durationRangeSec)

Example:
# of placements : 300 / 15 = 20.
placement.video.maxduration = 30 (all placements the same)

Your endpoint responds with:
10 bids with 30 seconds duration
10 bids with 15 seconds duration

In Use case 1, you are asking endpoint to respond with 20 bids between min duration 0 and max duration 30 seconds. If you get bids with duration which does not match duration in durationRangeSec array, Prebid will evaluate the bid’s duration and will match into the appropriate duration bucket by using a rounding-type logic. This new duration will be used in sending bids to Ad server.

Prebid creates virtual duration buckets based on durationRangeSec value. Prebid will

• round the duration to the next highest specified duration value based on adunit. If the duration is above a range within a set buffer (hardcoded to 2s in prebid-core), that bid falls down into that bucket. (eg if durationRangeSec was [5, 15, 30] -> 2s is rounded to 5s; 17s is rounded back to 15s; 18s is rounded up to 30s)
• reject bid if the bid is above the range of the listed durations (and outside the buffer)

Prebid will set the rounded duration value in the bid.video.durationBucket field for accepted bids

Use case 2: I want to request my endpoint to return bids that exactly match the durations I want

AdUnit config
{
  ...
  adPodDuration: 300,
  durationRangeSec: [15, 30],
  requireExactDuration: true
  ...
}

Algorithm
# of placements = MAX_VALUE(adPodDuration/MIN_VALUE(allowedDurationsSec), durationRangeSec.length)

Each placement:
placement.video.minduration = durationRangeSec[i]
placement.video.maxduration = durationRangeSec[i]

Example:
# of placements : MAX_VALUE( (300 / 15 = 20), 2) == 20

20 / 2 = 10 placements:
placement.video.minduration = 15
placement.video.maxduration = 15

20 / 2 = 10 placements:
placement.video.minduration = 30
placement.video.maxduration = 30

Your endpoint responds with:
10 bids with 30 seconds duration
10 bids with 15 seconds duration

In Use case 2 requireExactDuration is set to true and hence Prebid will only select bids that exactly match duration in durationRangeSec (don’t round at all).

In both use cases, adapter is requesting bid responses for 20 placements in one single http request. You can split these into chunks depending on your endpoint’s capacity.

Adapter must add following new properties to bid response

{
  meta: {
    primaryCatId: '<iab sub category>', // only needed if you want to ensure competitive separation
  },
  video: {
    context: 'adpod',
    durationSeconds: 30
  }
}

Appnexus Adapter uses above explained approach. You can refer here

Adapter must return one IAB accepted subcategories (links to MS Excel file) if they want to support competitive separation. These IAB sub categories will be converted to Ad server industry/group. If adapter is returning their own proprietary categroy, it is the responsibility of the adapter to convert their categories into IAB accepted subcategories (links to MS Excel file).

If the demand partner is going to use Prebid API for this process, their adapter will need to include the getMappingFileInfo function in their spec file. Prebid core will use the information returned from the function to preload the mapping file in local storage and update on the specified refresh cycle.

Params

Example

getMappingFileInfo: function() {
  return {
    url: '<mappingFileURL>',
    refreshInDays: 7
    localStorageKey: '<uniqueCode>'
  }
}

The mapping file is stored locally to expedite category conversion. Depending on the size of the adpod each adapter could have 20-30 bids. Storing the mapping file locally will prevent HTTP calls being made for each category conversion.

To get the subcategory to use, call this function, which needs to be imported from the bidderFactory.

getIabSubCategory(bidderCode, pCategory)

Params

Example

import { getIabSubCategory } from '../src/adapters/bidderFactory';
let primaryCatId = getIabSubCategory(bidderCode, pCategory)

Outstream Video Renderers

As described in Show Outstream Video Ads, for an ad unit to play outstream ads, a “renderer” is required. A renderer is the client-side code (usually a combination of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS) responsible for displaying a creative on a page. A renderer must provide a player environment capable of playing a video creative (most commonly an XML document).

If possible, we recommend that publishers associate a renderer with their outstream video ad units. By doing so, all video-enabled demand partners will be able to participate in the auction, regardless of whether a given demand partner provides a renderer on its bid responses. Prebid.js will always invoke a publisher-defined renderer on a given ad unit.

However, if the publisher does not define a renderer, you will need to return a renderer with your bid response if you want to participate in the auction for outstream ad unit.

Step 3: Respond with a VAST URL or raw VAST XML

The returned VAST URL or raw VAST XML should be added into bid.vastUrl or bid.vastXml, respectively.

For example:

Deals in Ad Pods

To do deals for long-form video (adpod ad unit) just add the dielTier integer value to bid.video.dealTier. For more details on conducting deals in ad pods see our ad pod module documentation.

Supporting Native

In order for your bidder to support the native media type:

1. Your (server-side) bidder needs to return a response that contains native assets.
2. Your (client-side) bidder adapter needs to unpack the server’s response into a Prebid-compatible bid response populated with the required native assets.
3. Your bidder adapter must be capable of ingesting the required and optional native assets specified on the adUnit.mediaTypes.native object, as described in Show Native Ads.

The adapter code samples below fulfills requirement #2, unpacking the server’s reponse and:

1. Checking for native assets on the response.
2. If present, filling in the native object with those assets.

/* Does the bidder respond with native assets? */
else if (rtbBid.rtb.native) {

    /* If yes, let's populate our response with native assets */

    const nativeResponse = rtbBid.rtb.native;

    bid.native = {
        title: nativeResponse.title,
        body: nativeResponse.desc,
        cta: nativeResponse.ctatext,
        sponsoredBy: nativeResponse.sponsored,
        image: nativeResponse.main_img && nativeResponse.main_img.url,
        icon: nativeResponse.icon && nativeResponse.icon.url,
        clickUrl: nativeResponse.link.url,
        impressionTrackers: nativeResponse.impression_trackers,
    };
}

As of the 0.34.1 release, a bidder may optionally return the height and width of a native image or icon asset.

If your bidder does return the image size, you can expose the image dimensions on the bid response object as shown below.

    /* Does the bidder respond with native assets? */
    else if (rtbBid.rtb.native) {

        const nativeResponse = rtbBid.rtb.native;

        /* */

        bid.native = {
            title: nativeResponse.title,
            image: {
              url: nativeResponse.img.url,
              height: nativeResponse.img.height,
              width: nativeResponse.img.width,
            },
            icon: nativeResponse.icon.url,
        };
    }

The targeting key hb_native_image (about which more here (ad ops setup) and here (engineering setup)) will be set with the value of image.url if image is an object.

If image is a string, hb_native_image will be populated with that string (a URL).

Adding Unit Tests

Every adapter submission must include unit tests. For details about adapter testing requirements, see the Writing Tests section of CONTRIBUTING.md.

For example tests, see the existing adapter test suites.

Submitting your adapter

• Write unit tests
• Create a docs pull request against prebid.github.io
  • Fork the repo
  • Copy a file in dev-docs/bidders and modify. Add the following metadata to the header of your .md file:
    • If you support the GDPR consentManagement module and TCF1, add gdpr_supported: true
    • If you support the GDPR consentManagement module and TCF2, add tcf2_supported: true
    • If you support the US Privacy consentManagementUsp module, add usp_supported: true
    • If you support one or more userId modules, add userId: (list of supported vendors)
    • If you support video and/or native mediaTypes add media_types: video, native. Note that display is added by default. If you don’t support display, add “no-display” as the first entry, e.g. media_types: no-display, native
    • If you support COPPA, add coppa_supported: true
    • If you support SChain, add schain_supported: true
    • If your bidder doesn’t work well with safeframed creatives, add safeframes_ok: false. This will alert publishers to not use safeframed creatives when creating the ad server entries for your bidder.
    • If you’re a member of Prebid.org, add prebid_member: true
• Submit both the code and docs pull requests

Within a few days, the code pull request will be assigned to a developer for review. Once the inspection passes, the code will be merged and included with the next release. Once released, the documentation pull request will be merged.

The Prebid.org download page will automatically be updated with your adapter once everything’s been merged.
