Thank you for your valuable contribution of a bid adapter to the open source Prebid Server project. Each new adapter expands the monetization possibilities for publishers and provides greater options to maximize their inventory’s potential. We truly appreciate your support in making this ecosystem thrive!
This document guides you through the process of developing a new bid adapter for your bidding server. We encourage you to look at existing bid adapters for working examples and practical guidance. You can ask us questions by submitting a GitHub issue.
There are two implementations of Prebid Server: PBS-Go and PBS-Java. We recommend you build new adapters for PBS-Go and allow us to port it to PBS-Java within a couple of months. If you’d like to build both yourself, please also follow these instructions for building an adapter in PBS-Java.
Bid adapters are responsible for translating a ‘Prebid-flavored’ OpenRTB Bid Request to your bidding server’s protocol and mapping your server’s response to a Prebid-flavored response.
“Prebid-flavored OpenRTB” means:
OpenRTB Bid Requests contain one or more impression objects, each representing a single ad placement. An impression may define multiple sizes and/or multiple ad formats. If your bidding server limits requests to a single ad placement, size, or format, then your adapter will need to split the impression into multiple calls and merge the responses.
See the example auction request to get an idea for what your adapter will receive.
The job of your bid adapter is to adapt. You’ll need to think about currency, floors, mediatypes, and other details as noted below.
You will need to choose a unique name for your bid adapter. Names should be written in lower case and may not contain special characters or emoji. If you already have a Prebid.js bid adapter, we encourage you to use the same name with the same bidder parameters. You may not name your adapter ae
, all
, context
, data
, general
, gpid
, prebid
, skadn
or tid
as those have special meaning in various contexts. Existing bid adapter names are maintained here.
We ask that the first 6 letters of the name you choose be unique among the existing bid adapters. This consideration helps with generating targeting keys for use by some ad exchanges, such as Google Ad Manager. There’s no need to manually check, as this constraint is enforced by the TestBidderUniquenessGatekeeping
test.
Throughout the rest of this document, substitute {bidder}
with the name you’ve chosen.
Most bidders run their auction endpoints in multiple data centers because their business is continental or global.
Prebid Server is open source software that is run by many host companies that may be calling your bid adapter from various places. It may be useful to consider how you want to communicate your geographic preferences to these companies.
Please don’t bother publishers by asking them to enter a geographic location ‘host’ parameter. Most publishers do not have the tech to choose which of your regional endpoints to hit.
These are the recommended technical solutions:
You should also consider entering geographic scoping information into your YAML file so host companies can disable your bidder in regions where you’re not going to bid. e.g. bidders that are not GDPR-compliant probably won’t bid much in Europe. It costs both you and the host company networking fees to send bid requests, so it’s in your interest to declare your scope of business. See below for syntax details.
We are proud to run the Prebid Server project as a transparent and trustworthy header bidding solution. You are expected to follow our community’s code of conduct and module rules when creating your adapter and when interacting with others through issues, code reviews, and discussions.
Please take the time to read the rules in full. Below is a summary of some of the rules which apply to your Prebid Server bid adapter:
Failure to follow the rules will lead to delays in approving your adapter. If you’d like to discuss an exception to a rule, please make your request by submitting a GitHub issue.
You are expected to provide support and maintenance for the code you contribute to Prebid Server as part of your bid adapter. We ask that you proactively update your adapter when your bidding server introduces new features or breaking changes.
Occasionally, we’ll introduce changes to the core framework as part of our ongoing maintenance and enhancement of the project. If this causes a compilation error or a performance impact to your adapter, we will update the affected portion of your bid adapter code and provide full unit test coverage of our changes. We will notify you via email if this happens and give you at least one week to review the PR and provide comments. Please understand that we will not wait for your explicit approval for these kinds of changes unless you respond to our email or comment on the PR.
Please be attentive in reading and responding to emails and GitHub issues from publishers, hosts, and Prebid.org project maintainers. If we receive complaints about your bid adapter and you do not respond to our communications, we may disable your adapter by default or remove it from the project entirely.
Prebid Server bid adapters consist of several components: bidder info, bidder parameters, adapter code, registration with the core framework, and default configuration values. This document will guide you though each component.
Please refer to existing bid adapters for working examples and practical guidance, but understand that our adapter interfaces and coding style evolve over time. The examples in this document have precedence over differences you may find in an existing bid adapter.
Our project is written in the Go programming language. We understand not everyone has prior experience writing Go code. Please try your best and we’ll respectfully steer you in the right direction during the review process.
Please do not ignore errors from method calls made in your bid adapter code. Even if it’s seemingly impossible for an error to occur, such as from jsonutil.Marshal
, it’s still possible under the high throughput multi-threaded nature of Prebid Server.
Let’s begin with your adapter’s bidder information YAML file. This file is required and contains your bid adapter’s maintainer email address, outgoing compression support, GDPR Global Vendor List (GVL) ID, supported ad formats, user sync endpoints, and allows you to opt-out of video impression tracking.
Create a file with the path static/bidder-info/{bidder}.yaml
and begin with the following template:
# We have the following regional endpoint domains: us-east and us-west
# Please deploy this config in each of your datacenters with the appropriate regional subdomain

Prebid Server offers a federated user sync process to store user ids from multiple bidders in a single cookie under the host’s domain. You may add support for your bid adapter by configuring iframe and/or redirect endpoints.
The Bidder Info template above demonstrates configuration of a redirect
user sync. The url
points to an endpoint on your bidding server which will honor the privacy policies, replace the userMacro
in the redirect url with the user’s tracking id, and respond with an HTTP 302 redirect to that url. You may also specify an iframe
endpoint which will return an HTML document to be rendered in an iframe
on the user’s device and use JavaScript to perform the redirect. You may omit the {{.GDPR}}
, {{.GDPRConsent}}
, and/or {{.USPrivacy}}
macros if they are not applicable to your legal situation.
If both iframe
and redirect
endpoints are provided, the iframe
endpoint will be used by default.

If your bid adapter supports user sync and doesn’t have a good default endpoint, you may optionally specify a supports
array with the items iframe
and/or redirect
to inform Prebid Server hosts. Hosts will receive a warning on startup if a bid adapter supports user sync and isn’t configured. Expect hosts to contact you at the maintainer email address for instructions.
userSync:
# foo supports user syncing, but requires configuration by the host. contact this
# bidder directly at the email address in this file to ask about enabling user sync.
supports:
- iframe
- redirect
Each user sync is assigned a case-sensitive key
, defaulting to your bidder name. You may use a different key
value, but we discourage doing so except for when multiple bidders share the same bidding server. You might encounter this use case for built-in aliases or for multiple bidders implementing different protocols for the same bidding server. Only one bid adapter may specify endpoints when using a shared key, or Prebid Server will fail to startup due to the ambiguity.

Your bid adapter might require extra information from the publisher to form a request to your bidding server. The bidder parameters JSON Schema codifies this information to allow Prebid Server to verify requests and to provide an API for configuration systems.
Publishers will provide extra information using an OpenRTB 2.x Bid Request Extension, preferably at request.imp[].ext.prebid.bidder.{bidder}
but also supported at request.imp[].ext.{bidder}
. Prebid Server will validate the publisher information based on your schema and relocate the data to request.imp[].ext.bidder
, regardless of your bidder name or the publisher’s chosen location.
We request you do not duplicate information already present in the OpenRTB 2.x Bid Request specification or already part of an established Prebid convention. For example, your bidder parameters should not include first party data, bid floors, schain, video parameters, referrer information, or privacy consent including COPPA, CCPA, and GDPR TCF. For video parameters in particular, you must prefer the OpenRTB 2.x Bid Request standard of request.imp[].video
.
You may not try so set the full endpoint domain from a publisher-specified bidder parameter. Prebid Server is not an open proxy. If absolutely necessary, you may specify a portion of the domain as a parameter to support geo regions or account specific servers. However, this is discouraged and may degrade the performance of your adapter since the server needs to maintain more outgoing connections. Host companies may choose to disable your adapter if it uses a dynamically configured domain.
Create a file with the path static/bidder-params/{bidder}.json
and use JSON Schema to define your bidder parameters. Prebid Server requires this file for every adapter, even if yours doesn’t require bidder parameters (see the ‘no parameters’ example at the end of this section).
Let’s start with this example which defines one required placementId
string parameter:
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
"title": "Foo Adapter Params",
"description": "A schema which validates params accepted by the Foo adapter",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"placementId": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Placement ID"
}
},
"required": ["placementId"]
}
We encourage you to utilize the full features of JSON Schema to narrowly define your bidder parameter data types. If you copy and paste these examples, please remember to change the title
and description
to refer to your bidder name instead of our fictional Foo example.
When choosing your parameter names, please consider aligning with the OpenRTB 2.x standard by using lower case letters without camel casing or special characters.
Properties in JSON Schema are case sensitive. If you choose to specify multiple properties differing only by case for compatibility, we ask that you include the word ‘preferred’ in one of the descriptions to give a hint to third party configuration systems.
In addition to the examples listed below, please refer to existing bidder parameter files for guidance.
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
"title": "Foo Adapter Params",
"description": "A schema which validates params accepted by the Foo adapter",
"type": "object",
"properties": {}
}
{

}

}

}

]
}
You can skip this section if your adapter has no bidder parameters.
If you defined bidder parameters for your adapter, you also need to represent your bidder parameters in code. The core framework uses the JSON Schema file for validation, but your adapter code needs a data structure to support JSON unmarshalling / deserialization. These data structures are organized in a shared path using a standard naming convention, which also serves as documentation of all adapter parameters.
Create a file with the path openrtb_ext/imp_{bidder}.go
containing an exported (must start with an upper case letter) data structure named ImpExt{Bidder}
. All required and optional bidder parameters from the JSON Schema should be represented as fields.
For example, this is what the bidder parameter code looks like for the Foo example we used in the previous section:
package openrtb_ext
type ImpExtFoo struct {
PlacementID string `json:"placementId"`
}
Please follow Go’s standard naming convention for the field names (particularly for acronyms) and use `json:...`
attributes to specify the JSON name, matching exactly what you defined in the bidder parameters JSON Schema.
Now it’s time to write your bid adapter code.
Each adapter has its own directory (a ‘package’ in Go parlance) for all code and tests associated with translating an OpenRTB 2.x Bid Request to your bidding server’s protocol and mapping your server’s response to an OpenRTB 2.x Bid Response. The use of separate packages provide each adapter with its own naming scope to avoid conflicts and gives the freedom to organize files as you best see fit (although we make suggestions in this guide).
Create a file with the path adapters/{bidder}/{bidder}.go
. Your bid adapter code will need to implement and export:
adapters.Builder
method to create a new instance of the adapter based on the host configuration.adapters.Bidder
interface consisting of the MakeRequests
method to create outgoing requests to your bidding server and the MakeBids
method to create bid responses.ACCESS MODIFIERS: Go has only two kinds of access modifiers, exported and private, which are scoped at the package level. The access modifier is encoded into the name of the type or method. Names starting with an upper case letter are exported whereas names starting with a lower case letter are private. Please only export the three required methods and keep everything else private.
Here is a reference implementation for a bidding server which uses the OpenRTB 2.x protocol:

Adapters must use jsonutil.Marshal
and jsonutil.Unmarshal
instead of the Go standard package functions, as those are not optimized for Prebid Server’s high perfomance needs.
The Builder
method is responsible for validating the adapter configuration, performing any necessary pre-processing steps (such as macro parsing), and storing the configuration values in a new instance of the adapter
struct.
This method may be called multiple times if the host has configured aliases of your adapter. On the other hand, it will never be called if your bid adapter is disabled by the host. Please be aware the same instance of the adapter will be used to process all bid requests for each bidder or alias. To ensure thread safety, all runtime state must be stored in the adapter
instance and the adapter may not mutate any global or package scoped variables.
The first argument, bidderName
, is the name of the bidder being built. This may be the bidder name you’ve chosen or it may be an alias. Most adapters don’t make use of the bidderName
, but its provided by the core framework for situations where the adapter might need to do something special for aliases.
The second argument, config
, is all the configuration values set for your adapter. However, not all of this information is intended for use by the Builder
method. The only two fields relevant here are config.Endpoint
and config.ExtraAdapterInfo
:
config.Endpoint
is the base url of your bidding server and may be interpreted as either a literal address or as a templated macro to support dynamic paths.config.ExtraAdapterInfo
is an optional setting may be used for any other values your adapter may need, such as an application token or publisher allow/deny list. You may interpret this string however you like, although JSON is a common choice.The third argument, server
, is a set of host configs. It can be passed in two different ways. One way is to pass this info in the auction request itself at the path ext.prebid.server
(i.e. ext.prebid.server.datacenter
). The second way is to pass this info as a configuration data structure.
The Builder
method is expected to return an error if either the config.Endpoint
or the config.ExtraAdapterInfo
values are invalid or cannot be parsed. Errors will be surfaced to the host during application startup as a fatal error.
type adapter struct {
endpointTemplate *template.Template
}
// Builder builds a new instance of the {bidder} adapter for the given bidder with the given config.
func Builder(bidderName openrtb_ext.BidderName, config config.Adapter, server config.Server) (adapters.Bidder, error) {
template, err := template.New("endpointTemplate").Parse(config.Endpoint)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("unable to parse endpoint url template: %v", err)
}
bidder := &adapter{
endpointTemplate: template,
}
return bidder, nil
}
type extraInfo struct {
token string
}
// Builder builds a new instance of the {bidder} adapter for the given bidder with the given config.
func Builder(bidderName openrtb_ext.BidderName, config config.Adapter, server config.Server) (adapters.Bidder, error) {
info, err := parseExtraInfo(config.ExtraAdapterInfo)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
bidder := &adapter{
endpoint: config.Endpoint,
token: info.token,
}
return bidder, nil
}
func parseExtraInfo(v string) (extraInfo, error) {
if len(v) == 0 {
return buildDefaultExtraInfo(), nil
}
var info extraInfo
if err := jsonutil.Unmarshal([]byte(v), &info); err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("invalid extra info: %v", err)
}
return info, nil
}
func buildDefaultExtraInfo() extraInfo {
return extraInfo{
token: "all your base are belong to us",
}
}
The MakeRequests
method is responsible for returning none, one, or many HTTP requests to be sent to your bidding server. Bid adapters are forbidden from directly initiating any form of network communication and must entirely rely upon the core framework. This allows the core framework to optimize outgoing connections using a managed pool and record networking metrics. The return type adapters.RequestData
allows your adapter to specify the HTTP method, url, body, headers, and ids of the impressions in the request.
This method is called once by the core framework for bid requests which have at least one valid Impression for your adapter. Impressions not configured for your adapter are not accessible.
The first argument, request
, is the OpenRTB 2.x Bid Request object. Extension information is stored as json.RawMessage
byte arrays and must be unmarshalled and/or marshalled to be read and/or mutated. It is critical to understand that the request
object contains pointers to shared memory. If your adapter needs to alter any data referenced by a pointer then you must first make a shallow copy. The only exception is for request.Imp
and its elements, as these are already shallow copies. The exact same instance of the request
object is also passed to the MakeBids
method, so please be careful when mutating. It’s safe to assume that request.Imp[]
always contains at least one element and that the request.Imp[].ext.bidder
was successfully validated per your bidder parameter JSON Schema.
// Populate the top level width and height of a banner request if it's not set by the publisher.
if request.Imp[i].W == nil && request.Imp[i].H == nil && len(request.Imp[i].Format) > 0 {
bannerCopy := *request.Imp[i].Banner
bannerCopy.W = &(request.Imp[i].Banner.Format[0].W)
bannerCopy.H = &(request.Imp[i].Banner.Format[0].H)
request.Imp[i].Banner = &bannerCopy
}
The second argument, requestInfo
, is for extra information and helper methods provided by the core framework. This includes:
requestInfo.PbsEntryPoint
to access the entry point of the bid request, commonly used to determine if the request is for AMP or for a Long Form Video Ad Pod.requestInfo.GlobalPrivacyControlHeader
to read the value of the Sec-GPC
Global Privacy Control (GPC) header of the bid request.requestInfo.ConvertCurrency
a method to perform currency conversions.The MakeRequests
method is expected to return a slice (similar to a C# List
or a Java ArrayList
) of adapters.RequestData
objects representing the HTTP calls to be sent to your bidding server and a slice of type error
for any issues encountered creating them. If there are no HTTP calls or if there are no errors, please return nil
for both return values. Please do not add nil
items in the slices.
HTTP calls to your bidding server will automatically prefer GZIP compression. You should not specify it yourself using headers. You don’t have to worry about decompressing the response in MakeBids
either, as that will be taken care of automatically.
An Impression may define multiple sizes and/or multiple ad formats. If your bidding server limits requests to a single ad placement, size, or format, then your adapter will need to split the Impression into multiple calls and merge the responses.
func (a *adapter) MakeRequests(request *openrtb2.BidRequest, requestInfo *adapters.ExtraRequestInfo) (*adapters.RequestData, []error) {
var requests []*adapters.RequestData
var errors []error

Prebid Server is a global product that is currency agnostic. Publishers may ask for bids in any currency. It’s totally fine if your bidding endpoint only supports a single currency, but your adapter needs to deal with it. This section will describe how to do so.
Here are 3 key points to consider:
requestInfo.ConvertCurrency
function before sending $.imp[].bidfloor and $.imp[].bidfloorcur to your endpoint.func (a *adapter) MakeRequests(request *openrtb2.BidRequest, requestInfo *adapters.ExtraRequestInfo) (*adapters.RequestData, []error) {
for _, imp := range request.Imp {
// Check if imp comes with bid floor amount defined in a foreign currency
if imp.BidFloor > 0 && imp.BidFloorCur != "" && strings.ToUpper(imp.BidFloorCur) != "USD" {
// Convert to US dollars
convertedValue, err := reqInfo.ConvertCurrency(imp.BidFloor, imp.BidFloorCur, "USD")
if err != nil {
return nil, []error{err}
}
// Update after conversion. All imp elements inside request.Imp are shallow copies
// therefore, their non-pointer values are not shared memory and are safe to modify.
imp.BidFloorCur = "USD"
imp.BidFloor = convertedValue
}
}
requestJSON, err := jsonutil.Marshal(request)
if err != nil {
return nil, []error{err}
}
requestData := &adapters.RequestData{
Method: "POST",
Uri: a.endpoint,
Body: requestJSON,
ImpIDs: openrtb_ext.GetImpIDs(request.Imp),
}
return []*adapters.RequestData{requestData}, nil
}
There are a several values of a bid that publishers expect to be populated. Some are defined by the OpenRTB 2.x specification and some are defined by Prebid conventions.
Parameter | Definer | Path & Description |
---|---|---|
CCPA | OpenRTB | request.regs.ext.us_privacy The publisher is specifying the California Consumer Privacy Act consent string. |
COPPA | OpenRTB | request.regs.ext.us_privacy The publisher is specifying the Children’s Online Privacy Protection flag. |
Currency | OpenRTB | request.cur The publisher is specifying the desired bid currency. The Prebid Server default is USD. |
Debug | Prebid | request.ext.prebid.debug The publisher is requesting verbose debugging information from Prebid Server. |
Request-Defined currency conversion rates | Prebid | request.ext.prebid.currency The publisher decides to prioritize its own custom currency conversion rates over Prebid Server’s currency conversion rates. If a currency rate is not found in request.ext.prebid.currency , Prebid Server’s rates will be used unless usepbsrates is set to false . If missing, usepbsrates defaults to true. |
First Party Data (FPD) | Prebid | request.imp[].ext.context.data.* , request.app.ext.data.* , request.site.ext.data.* , request.user.ext.data.* The publisher may provide first party data (e.g. keywords). |
GDPR | OpenRTB | request.regs.ext.gdpr , request.user.ext.consent The publisher is specifying the European General Data Protection Regulation flag and TCF consent string. |
Site or App | OpenRTB | request.site , request.app The publisher will provide either the site or app, but not both, representing the client’s device. |
Supply Chain | OpenRTB | request.source.ext.schain The publisher’s declaration of all parties who are selling or reselling the bid request. |
Test | OpenRTB | request.test The publisher is sending non-production traffic which also enables verbose debugging information from Prebid Server. |
Video | OpenRTB | request.imp[].video The publisher is specifying video ad requirements or preferences. |
For simplicity, adapters are expected to make net-price bids (e.g. “If this ad wins, what will the publisher make?”), not gross-price bids. Publishers can correct for gross-price bids by setting Bid Adjustments to account for fees.
The MakeBids
method is responsible for parsing the bidding server’s response and mapping it to the OpenRTB 2.x Bid Response object model.
This method is called for each response received from your bidding server within the bidding time window (request.tmax
). If there are no requests or if all requests time out, the MakeBids
method will not be called.
It’s imperative to include all required information in the response for your bid to be accepted. Please avoid common mistakes, such as not specifying the bid currency and not properly detecting the media type from the bidding server response.
The first argument, request
, is the exact same OpenRTB 2.x Bid Request object provided to (and potentially mutated by) the MakeRequests
method. The information in the request
may be useful when detecting the media type.
The second argument, requestData
, is the exact same adapters.RequestData
object returned by the MakeRequests
method. It’s rare for adapters to make use of this information, but it’s provided for potential edge cases.
The third argument, responseData
, is the HTTP response received from your bidding server and contains the status code, body, and headers. If your bidding server replies with a GZIP encoded body, it will be automatically decompressed.
The MakeBids
method is expected to return an adapters.BidderResponse
object with one or more bids mapped from your bidding server’s response. This may be as simple as decorating an OpenRTB 2.x Bid Response with some Prebid Server metadata (such as the media type) or more complicated mapping logic depending on your server’s response format.
Please review the entire OpenRTB 2.x Bid Response documentation to fully understand the response object model and expectations. We’ve summarized some common fields below. Data which is listed as required is enforced by the core framework and cannot be omitted.
BidderResponse Path | Scope | Description |
---|---|---|
.Currency |
Required | 3-letter ISO 4217 code defining the currency of the bid. The Prebid Server default is USD. |
.Bids[].BidType |
Required | Prebid Server defined value identifying the media type as banner , video , audio , or native . Should be mapped from the bidding server response. |
.Bids[].Bid.CrID |
Required | Unique id of the creative. |
.Bids[].Bid.ID |
Required | Bidder generated id to assist with logging and tracking. |
.Bids[].Bid.ImpID |
Required | ID of the corresponding bid request Impression. Prebid Server validates the id is actually found in the bid request. |
.Bids[].Bid.Price |
Required | Net price CPM of the bid, not gross price. Publishers can correct for gross price bids by setting Bid Adjustments to account for fees. We recommend the most granular price a bidder can provide. |
.Bids[].Bid.ADomain |
Optional | Advertiser domain for block list checking. |
.Bids[].Bid.AdM |
Optional | Ad markup to serve if the bid wins. May be HTML, Native, or VAST/VMAP formats. You should resolve any AUCTION_PRICE macros. |
.Bids[].Bid.W |
Optional | Width of the creative in pixels. |
.Bids[].Bid.H |
Optional | Height of the creative in pixels. |
.Bids[].Bid.Ext |
Optional | Embedded JSON containing Prebid metadata (see below) or custom information. |
We recommend resolving creative OpenRTB macros in your adapter. Otherwise, AUCTION_PRICE will eventually get resolved by the Prebid Universal Creative, but by then the bid price will be in the ad server currency and quantized by the price granularity.
If you’d like to support Long Form Video Ad Podss, then you’ll need to provide the followings information:
BidderResponse Path | Description |
---|---|
.Bids[].BidVideo.PrimaryCategory |
Category for the bid in the taxonomy used by the ad server. Will be passed through without translation. |
.Bids[].Bid.Cat |
IAB category for the bid which may be translated to the taxonomy used by the ad server. |
.Bids[].BidVideo.Duration |
Length of the video in integer seconds. |
.Bids[].DealPriority |
Deal tier integer value. Defaults to 0. |
Either .Bids[].BidVideo.PrimaryCategory
or .Bids[].Bid.Cat
should be provided.
Prebid has introduced a standard object model for sharing granular bid response data with publishers, analytics, and reporting systems. We encourage adapters to provide as much information as possible in the bid response.
Bid metadata may be required in a future Prebid.js release. The AdvertiserDomains field and the DChain object are particularly useful. We recommend ensuring your adapter sets these fields or Prebid.js may reject your bid.
Path | Description |
---|---|
.AdvertiserDomains |
Domains for the landing page(s) aligning with the OpenRTB adomain field. |
.AdvertiserID |
Bidder-specific advertiser id. |
.AdvertiserName |
Bidder-specific advertiser name. |
.AgencyID |
Bidder-specific agency id. |
.AgencyName |
Bidder-specific agency name. |
.BrandID |
Bidder-specific brand id for advertisers with multiple brands. |
.BrandName |
Bidder-specific brand name. |
.DChain |
Demand chain object. |
.DemandSource |
Bidder-specific demand source. Some adapters may functionally serve multiple SSPs or exchanges, and this specifies which. |
.MediaType |
Either banner , audio , video , or native . This is used in the scenario where a bidder responds with a mediatype different than the stated type. e.g. native when the impression is for a banner. One use case is to help publishers determine whether the creative should be wrapped in a safeframe. |
.NetworkID |
Bidder-specific network/DSP id. |
.NetworkName |
Bidder-specific network/DSP name. |
.RendererName |
Name of the desired renderer for the creative. |
.RendererVersion |
Version of the desired renderer for the creative. |
.PrimaryCategoryID |
Primary IAB category id. |
.SecondaryCategoryIDs |
Secondary IAB category ids. |
.RendererUrl |
Dynamic renderer URL for use in outstream rendering |

Prebid Server does not use reflection or any other automated technology to recognize your new bid adapter. You must manually register it with the core framework.
You will need to add an import
statement for your bid adapter package in these files. Modern code editors such as Visual Studio Code and JetBrain’s GoLand will automatically do that for you.
Edit the file openrtb_ext/bidders.go
to add your bidder name constant and include it alphabetically in the CoreBidderNames
list:
// Names of core bidders. These names *must* match the bidder code in Prebid.js if an adapter also exists in that
// project. You may *not* use the name 'general' as that is reserved for general error messages nor 'context' as
// that is reserved for first party data.
//
// Please keep this list alphabetized to minimize merge conflicts.
const (
...
Bidder{Bidder} BidderName = "{bidder}"
...
)
// CoreBidderNames returns a slice of all core bidders.
func CoreBidderNames() []BidderName {
return []BidderName{
...
Bidder{Bidder},
...
}
}
Edit the file exchange/adapter_builders.go
to register your builder method:
func newAdapterBuilders() map[openrtb_ext.BidderName]adapters.Builder {
return map[openrtb_ext.BidderName]adapters.Builder{
...
openrtb_ext.Bidder{Bidder}: {bidder}.Builder,
...
}
}
You need to provide default settings for your bid adapter. You can decide if you’d like your bid adapter to be enabled out of the box, and if so, you’ll need to provide a default endpoint and default extra adapter info (if applicable). If your bid adapter requires host specific information to function properly, such as a security token or host account, then it’s best to leave the adapter disabled.
HOST SPECIFIC INFO: The default endpoint must not be specific to any particular host, such as Xandr/AppNexus. We may ask you about suspicious looking ids during the review process. Please reach out to individual hosts if you need to set specialized configuration.
If your bidding endpoint can support more than one biddercode, you shouldn’t replicate the whole adapter codebase. Rather, follow these steps to create a ‘hardcoded’ alias:
aliasOf: "appnexus"
Notes:
Note on aliases and TCF Global Vendor List IDs: if an alias entry does not have its own GVLID but wishes to claim GDPR support,
the documentation entry (The file in https://github.com/prebid/prebid.github.io/tree/master/dev-docs/bidders) must list the GVLID of the main adapter with that company’s name in parentheses.
Look for other doc entries containing an aliasCode
metadata entry.
This section will guide you through the creation of automated unit tests to cover your bid adapter code and bidder parameters JSON Schema. We use GitHub Action Workflows to ensure the code you submit passes validation. You can run the same validation locally with this command:
./validate.sh --nofmt --cov --race 10
Bid requests and server responses can be quite verbose. To avoid large blobs of text embedded within test code, we’ve created a framework for bid adapters which use a JSON body and/or a url to send a bid request. We require the use of our test framework as it includes checks to ensure no changes are made to shared memory.
We strive for as much test coverage as possible, but recognize that some code paths are impractical to simulate and rarely occur. You do not need to test the error conditions for jsonutil.Marshal
calls, for template parse errors within MakeRequests
or MakeBids
, or for url.Parse
calls. Following this guidance usually results in a coverage rate of around 90% - 95%, although we don’t enforce a specific threshold.
To use the test framework, create a file with the path adapters/{bidder}/{bidder}_test.go
with the following template:
package {bidder}
import (
"testing"
"github.com/prebid/prebid-server/v3/adapters/adapterstest"
"github.com/prebid/prebid-server/v3/config"
"github.com/prebid/prebid-server/v3/openrtb_ext"
)
func TestJsonSamples(t *testing.T) {
bidder, buildErr := Builder(openrtb_ext.Bidder{Bidder}, config.Adapter{
Endpoint: "http://any.url"},
config.Server{ExternalUrl: "http://hosturl.com", GvlID: 1, DataCenter: "2"})
if buildErr != nil {
t.Fatalf("Builder returned unexpected error %v", buildErr)
}
adapterstest.RunJSONBidderTest(t, "{bidder}test", bidder)
}
You should use an obviously fake endpoint for your tests. There’s no reason to use a real endpoint value. Please also note the _test.go
file suffix is a required Go idiom. The Go test runner will look in these files for tests and the Go compiler will exclude test code from production binaries.
Each test case should be written in its own JSON file with a succinct, yet descriptive, name of what’s being tested. The files should be located in either:
adapters/{bidder}/{bidder}test/exemplary/
for straight forward “happy path” tests. We expect to see tests here for each supported media type.adapters/{bidder}/{bidder}test/supplemental
for tests which produce errors or cover more complicated scenarios.The format of a JSON test is as follows:
{
"mockBidRequest": {
«OpenRTB 2.x Bid Request»
},
"httpCalls": [{
"expectedRequest": {
"uri": "«Bidding Server Endpoint»",
"headers": {
"«Name»": ["«Value»"],
},
"body": {
«Bidding Server Request Body»
}
},
"mockResponse": {
"status": «Mock HTTP Status Code (e.g. 200)»,
"headers": {
"«Name»": ["«Value»"],
},
"body": {
«Bidding Server Response Body»
},
},
}],
"expectedBidResponses": [{
"bids": [{
«Prebid Server Bid Response»
}]
}],
"expectedMakeRequestsErrors": [{
"value": "«Value»",
"comparison": "«literal or regex»"
}],
"expectedMakeBidsErrors": [{
"value": "«Value»",
"comparison": "«literal or regex»"
}]
}
The mockBidRequest
, httpCalls
, and expectedBidResponses
fields are required. The expectedMakeRequestsErrors
and expectedMakeBidsErrors
may be omitted if there are no expected errors. We provide a literal
and regex
mode for testing error values. We often use the regex
mode to handle error messages produced by the core Go framework which changed between recent releases.
Please use a JSON ‘prettifier’ to apply standard formatting to your test files. We recommend the use of Visual Studio Code’s Beautify extension.
The TestJsonSamples
tests provide adequate test coverage of your bid adapter’s Builder
method if it remains simple. If you’ve added custom logic, macro support, or make use of extra adapter info, you’ll need additional tests.
If your adapter supports template parsing, we recommend adding this failure test to the adapters/{bidder}/{bidder}_test.go
file:
func TestEndpointTemplateMalformed(t *testing.T) {
_, buildErr := Builder(openrtb_ext.Bidder{Bidder}, config.Adapter{
Endpoint: "{{Malformed}}"},
config.Server{ExternalUrl: "http://hosturl.com", GvlID: 1, DataCenter: "2"})
assert.Error(t, buildErr)
}
If your adapter supports extra adapter info, we recommend adding these tests to the adapters/{bidder}/{bidder}_test.go
file. You should customize the TestEmptyConfig
test to assert your adapter’s default extra info values.
func TestBadConfig(t *testing.T) {
_, buildErr := Builder(openrtb_ext.Bidder{Bidder}, config.Adapter{
Endpoint: `http://it.doesnt.matter/bid`,
ExtraAdapterInfo: `{foo:42}`,
},
config.Server{ExternalUrl: "http://hosturl.com", GvlID: 1, DataCenter: "2"})
assert.Error(t, buildErr)
}
func TestEmptyConfig(t *testing.T) {
bidder, buildErr := Builder(openrtb_ext.Bidder{Bidder}, config.Adapter{
Endpoint: `http://it.doesnt.matter/bid`,
ExtraAdapterInfo: ``,
},
config.Server{ExternalUrl: "http://hosturl.com", GvlID: 1, DataCenter: "2"})
bidder{Bidder} := bidder.(*adapter)
assert.NoError(t, buildErr)
assert.Empty(t, bidder{Bidder}.extraInfo.SomeInfo)
}
The bidder parameter JSON Schema files are considered a form of code and must be tested. Create a file with the path adapters/{bidder}/params_test.go
using the following template:
package {bidder}
import (
"encoding/json"
"testing"
"github.com/prebid/prebid-server/v3/openrtb_ext"
)
func TestValidParams(t *testing.T) {
validator, err := openrtb_ext.NewBidderParamsValidator("../../static/bidder-params")
if err != nil {
t.Fatalf("Failed to fetch the json schema. %v", err)
}
for _, p := range validParams {
if err := validator.Validate(openrtb_ext.Bidder{Bidder}, json.RawMessage(p)); err != nil {
t.Errorf("Schema rejected valid params: %s", p)
}
}
}
func TestInvalidParams(t *testing.T) {
validator, err := openrtb_ext.NewBidderParamsValidator("../../static/bidder-params")
if err != nil {
t.Fatalf("Failed to fetch the json schema. %v", err)
}
for _, p := range invalidParams {
if err := validator.Validate(openrtb_ext.Bidder{Bidder}, json.RawMessage(p)); err == nil {
t.Errorf("Schema allowed invalid params: %s", p)
}
}
}
var validParams = []string{
`{"placementId": ""}`,
`{"placementId": "Some Placement ID}`,
}
var invalidParams = []string{
`{"placementId": 42}`,
}
Please include tests for required fields, optional fields, conditional fields such as oneOf
, regex filters, and data type mismatches. For example, if the field is defined as a string please include one invalid case for the wrong data type such as an integer in this example.
There is no need to provide a combinatorial for every edge case possibility. We’re looking for just enough test cases to build confidence.
We’ll verify your adapter works correctly on a technical level during the code review, but you’ll need to perform manual end-to-end testing:
Build the project and start your server:
go build .
./prebid-server
POST an OpenRTB 2.x Bid Request with at least one Impression defined for your bid adapter with a supported media type. This is an example template for a banner ad.
curl --request POST \
--url 'https://localhost:8000/openrtb2/auction' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"id": "some-request-id",
"test": 1,
"site": {
"page": "prebid.org"
},
"imp": [{
"id": "some-impression-id",
"banner": {
"format": [{
"w": 600,
"h": 500
}, {
"w": 300,
"h": 600
}]
},
"ext": {
"prebid": {
"bidder": {
"{bidder}": {
<Your Bid Adapter Parameters>
}
}
}
}
}],
"tmax": 1000
}'
If your bid adapter defines one or more user sync endpoints, you’ll need to perform manual end-to-end testing of each endpoint using the following process:
Save a User ID using the key
of your user sync endpoint. This should default to your bidder name and is case sensitive.
Run a test auction (see the curl example above) and verify in the debug response that the outgoing request.ext.debug.httpcalls
calls includes the User ID you saved in step 1.
If you are having issues finding the root cause of user sync errors, please submit a GitHub issue and we’ll provide guidance.
Human readable documentation for bid adapters is required in the separate prebid.github.io repository. We will not merge your bid adapter until you’ve at least opened a documentation PR and comment with a link to it.
pbs: true
variable in the header section. If your Prebid Server bidding parameters are different from your Prebid.js parameters, please include the differences in this document for publishers to be aware.---
