Bidder-Specific Hosting Guidelines

Setting up a Bid Adapter

In general, a PBS host company may want to run only the server-side bid adapters they require.

PBS-Go enables most bidders by default. PBS-Java doesn’t enable any bidders by default.

PBS-Go

You might want to consider disabling bid adapters that you’re not going to utilize in order to control which bidders get into the /cookie_sync response when you’re running the coopSync flag.

To disable a bid adapter, in your main pbs.yaml file, set:

adapters:
  BIDDERCODE:
    disabled: true

If the bidder supports different endpoints per geography, you can deploy different config in each of your datacenters:

adapters:
  BIDDERCODE:
    endpoint: REGION_SPECIFIC_ENDPOINT

PBS-Java

To enable a bid adapter, in your main YAML file, set:

adapters:
  BIDDERCODE:
    enabled: true

If the bidder supports different endpoints per geography, you can deploy different config in each of your datacenters:

adapters:
  BIDDERCODE:
    enabled: true
    endpoint: REGION_SPECIFIC_ENDPOINT

Rubicon

If you’d like to run the rubicon Prebid Server adapter, here’s the process:

  1. Contact globalsupport@magnite.com explaining who you are and that you’d like to set up a Prebid Server that utilizes the rubicon adapter.
  2. They will ask you a bunch of questions and hopefully approve your application.
  3. If they do approve, you’ll be given a login and password to place in your configuration. Please do not share this with anyone else. You’ll also be provided a usersync URL.
  4. The Magnite XAPI has several regional endpoints that you can utilize. Note that the default endpoint in the open source config is for US-East, which may not perform as well for you as the other regional options if your datacenters are in Europe or Asia.
