EXCHANGE API XAPI - Rubicon Project Developer Portal

INTRODUCING
EXCHANGE API (XAPI)
The Challenge:
Sophisticated media sellers seek to optimize revenue holistically across all
advertising inventory and all sales channels.
But if their ad servers are not directly connected to an auction-based advertising
exchange, these sellers still aren’t achieving the maximum value for their
advertising inventory.
Facts:
•
•
•
Every seller has under-monetized ad inventory
Demand for every impression exists, but “lives” in disparate systems
This fragmented landscape causes sub-optimal inventory allocation between
demand sources
XAPI is a conduit for ad servers,
ad rendering SDKs and sellers
that have built their own ad
server to directly connect to
Rubicon Project’s Advertising
Automation Cloud exchange
technology.
XAPI
Auctions-Both
Real-Time Bids
(RTB) and
Static Bids
Sellers
The Solution:
Ad Server Providers & Sellers
With Custom Ad Servers
To optimize revenue, sellers
need an ad serving solution
that is fully integrated with a
mature exchange, ensuring
that inventory is optimally
allocated between direct and
indirect demand.
