bid9

Features

Note

The bid9 adapter sends one OpenRTB 2.6 request per ad unit, routed by the ad unit’s channel ID. It supports Banner and Video (instream and outstream), floors, deals, schain, user IDs and first-party data. Contact amit@kolorowey.com or kshitiz@kolorowey.com to set up an account and channels.

Bid Params

Video

All standard OpenRTB video fields set in mediaTypes.video are sent in imp.video, including mimes, protocols, minduration/maxduration, startdelay, plcmt, linearity, skip/skipmin/skipafter, playbackmethod, api and the pod fields. playerSize is sent as w/h. Objects that mediaTypes.video does not model, such as companionad, can be passed through ortb2Imp.video.

Outstream bids need a renderer configured by the publisher on the ad unit.

Prebid Server

bid9 is also available in Prebid Server, for banner and video on site and app traffic. It uses the same bid params as Prebid.js, so an ad unit’s params can stay as they are when bid9 moves server-side. Prebid Server sends each impression to bid9 as its own request. To route bid9 through a Prebid Server host, add it to s2sConfig:

pbjs.setConfig({
  s2sConfig: {
    accountId: 'your-account-id',
    enabled: true,
    adapter: 'prebidServer',
    bidders: ['bid9'],
    timeout: 800,
    endpoint: 'https://your-pbs-host/openrtb2/auction',
    syncEndpoint: 'https://your-pbs-host/cookie_sync'
  }
});

Regions

bid9 does not serve Europe yet (EEA, UK and Switzerland), because it has no IAB TCF vendor ID. Prebid Server hosts in Europe should consider disabling it. European support is planned once the ID is registered.

User Sync

bid9 declares an iframe user sync in Prebid Server, so /cookie_sync returns an iframe for bid9 and the synced ID is sent as user.buyeruid. Publishers using Prebid.js need iframe syncs allowed for bid9, for example:

pbjs.setConfig({
  userSync: {
    filterSettings: {
      iframe: { bidders: ['bid9'], filter: 'include' }
    }
  }
});

First Party Data

ortb2 (site, app, user, device, content, regs, source, bcat, badv) and ortb2Imp (for example ext.gpid, ext.data, instl, rwdd) are passed through unchanged.
