ByParadox

This documentation explains how Advertisers can integrate their platforms with Paradox using the OpenRTB standard.

Bid Request/Response Specifications

  • Open RTB Bid Request Specifications
  • Open RTB Bid Response Specifications

Requirements

The Paradox RTB API strictly follows the OpenRTB v2.4 Specifications, but with a few limitations/requirements.

  • Supported pricing models:
    • Banner, Popunder, In-Stream Ads: CPM
    • Push Notification, Native Ads: CPM or CPC *
  • Number of bids per request:
    • For Banner, Popunder, In-stream and Push Notification Ads – one bid per request only (One impression object)
    • For Native Ads – multiple bids per request are supported
  • Creative (ad markup) must be supplied directly in the bid response
  • The ad markup must respect the Paradox XML Ad Markups
  • The currency of the bid price will be the currency of your Paradox account (EUR or USD)
  • The advertiser will need to provide a valid RTB URL, this can have any GET params that might be needed by the endpoint and must be able to receive our bid request through HTTP POST

* Pricing model to be defined in bid response.

Supported ad types

  • Banner Ads: Image and iFrame
  • Direct Links
  • Email Clicks
  • Fullpage Interstitial (Desktop & Mobile)
  • In-Stream
  • Native Ads
  • Popunder
  • Push Notification Ads: 720 x 480 and 192 x 192  

Best Practices

  • One of the simplest and most effective ways of improving connection performance is to enable HTTP Persistent Connections, also known as Keep-Alive. This has a profound impact on overall performance by reducing connection management overhead as well as CPU utilization on both sides of the interface.
  • The OpenRTB specifications do not cover security other than recommending plain HTTP for performance reasons. If you need to authorize Paradox RTB requests, you may whitelist IP Networks.
