All Goldbach (Xandr) placements included in a single call to requestBids must belong to the same parent Publisher. If placements from two different publishers are included in the call, the Goldbach bidder will not return any demand for those placements.
Note: This requirement does not apply to adapters that are aliasing the Goldbach adapter.

App Object

Goldbach supports using prebid within a mobile app’s webview. If you are interested in using an SDK, please see Prebid Mobile instead.

Custom Targeting keys

Goldbach returns custom keys that can be sent to the adserver through bidderSettings: buyerMemberId, dealPriority, and dealCode. The following snippet demonstrates how to add these custom keys as key-value pairs.

pbjs.bidderSettings = {
  godlbach: {
    adserverTargeting: [
      {
        key: "apn_buyer_memberid", // Use key configured in your adserver
        val: function(bidResponse) {
          return bidResponse.appnexus.buyerMemberId;
        }
      },
      {
        key: "apn_prio", // Use key configured in your adserver
        val: function(bidResponse) {
          return bidResponse.appnexus.dealPriority;
        }
      }, {
        key: "apn_dealcode", // Use key configured in your adserver
        val: function(bidResponse) {
          return bidResponse.appnexus.dealCode;
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Passing Keys Without Values

It’s possible to use the keywords parameter to define keys that do not have any associated values. Keys with empty values can be created in Prebid.js and can also be sent through Prebid Server to Goldbach. The following are examples of sending keys with empty values:

keywords: {
  myKeyword: '',
  myOtherKeyword: ['']
}

The preceding example passes the key myKeyword with an empty value. The key myOtherKeyword contains an empty value array.

You can define keys with values and without values in the same keywords definition. In this next example, we’ve defined the key color with an array of values: red, blue, and green. We’ve followed that with the key otherKeyword with an empty value array.

keywords: {
  color: ['red', 'blue', 'green'],
  otherKeyword: ['']
}

User Sync in AMP

If you are syncing user id’s with Prebid Server and are using Goldbach’s managed service, see AMP Implementation Guide cookie-sync instructions for details.

Mobile App Display Manager Version

The Goldbach endpoint expects imp.displaymanagerver to be populated for mobile app sources requests, however not all SDKs will populate this field. If the imp.displaymanagerver field is not supplied for an imp, but request.app.ext.prebid.source and request.app.ext.prebid.version are supplied, the adapter will fill in a value for diplaymanagerver. It will concatenate the two app fields as <source>-<version> fo fill in the empty displaymanagerver before sending the request to Goldbach.

Debug Auction

Enabling the Goldbach Debug Auction feature should only be done for diagnosing the Goldbach auction. Do not enable this feature in a production setting where it may impact users.

To understand what is happening behind the scenes during an auction, you can enable a debug auction by adding an apn_prebid_debug cookie with a JSON string. For example:

{ "enabled": true, "dongle": "QWERTY", "debug_timeout": 1000, "member_id": 958 }

To view the results of the debug auction, add the pbjs_debug=true query string parameter and open your browser’s developer console.
