MoPub OpenRTB 2.3 Integration Guide

Important: Please review the changelog periodically for updates!

1. Overview

Summary

This doc serves as an integration guide and FAQ for our OpenRTB 2.3 + Native ads integration. Please consult the document on the demand support center and the changelog at the bottom of this guide for the latest updates.

If there is a conflict between this integration guide and your existing agreements with MoPub and Twitter, your agreements supersede this guide document.

Basic Auction on the MoPub Exchange

  1. MoPub receives an ad request from a mobile device.
  2. MoPub makes an http POST request to all partner bidder http endpoints. Each bidder must respond within the number of miliseconds passed in the bidrequest.tmax field.
  3. MoPub runs a second price auction based on all the valid responses from the bidders.
  4. MoPub pings the winning bidder’s nurl(s) to notify the DSP of a win
  5. MoPub sends down the winning bid’s HTML and imptrackers to the client
  6. The mobile device pings the imptrackers url(s) after the ad markup is rendered.

See section 2.4 for more information on nurls and impression tracking

IMPORTANT: All fields will be populated in the bid request if available. We will never pass null values or empty strings. If noted as not always passed, that parameter may not always be present in the bid request. For example, if the request doesn’t contain an SDK version, we will omit ver from the request.

It’s possible that an attribute is marked “not always passed” when there is a very low probability of this happening, e.g., country is passed >99% of the time.

2.2 Note regarding OpenRTB 2.2 bidders

Any OpenRTB 2.2 compliant bidder should have no issues integrating to the MoPub 2.3 specification. Below represents a few important nuances to note for anyone on 2.2:

  1. bidrequest.device.lmt is new in 2.3 – please ensure that you still ingest the dnt flag properly as that will always be set when lmt=1
  2. OpenRTB native support is only in v2.3 – you must upgrade to 2.3 if you want to continue bidding on native ads
  3. bidresponse.seatbid.bid.bundle is preferred when bidding with app advertisers, understood that this will not be present on 2.2 bidders
  4. bidresponse.seatbid.bid.cat – required for the advertiser category checking

2.3 Note regarding DNT, COPPA and behavioral targeting

  • Previously we set dnt=1 as a global identifier for ‘do not track’ signaling to the bidder to not behaviorally target a user per OBA guidelines.
  • With the fields introduced in OpenRTB 2.2 & 2.3, MoPub will be updating our request to signal the following:
    • dnt = 1 will still always be set as before to ensure all bidders comply
    • lmt = 1 will be set when the mobile limit ad tracking is set on an Android or iOS device
    • bidrequest.regs.coppa = 1 will be set when the user is known to be a child under the age of 13, or the app is a child directed application

2.4 nurl and impression tracking updates

MoPub is making some important changes in the RTB 2.3 implementation to more closely align to the OpenRTB standard & introduce new ways for bidders to consistently track impressions for themselves and 3rd parties. As of this release, the following will be available:

  1. bidresponse.seatbid.bid.nurl - this is an optional variable to notify a bidder when they won the auction. This does not guarantee that an impression is served, nor does MoPub charge when this tracker is sent
    • The previous behavior for nurl was charging on this tracker and sending nurl client side. nurl is now sent server side.
  2. bidresponse.seatbid.bid.ext.nurls[] - this new optional extension field allows a bidder to submit multiple nurl trackers to optionally notify 3rd parties of the win. (note that if both nurl and the array are provided, we will only use what is present in the array field)
    • Note: nurl is sent server side
  3. bidresponse.seatbid.bid.ext.imptrackers[] - this new extension field allows a bidder to submit 1 or more impression trackers that will be sent on the impression / charge event for the ad. This is required in the RTB 2.3 bid response. Leveraging this field will ensure bidders (and 3rd parties) minimize discrepancies with MoPub’s invoices.
    • The logic for sending trackers in this field is identical to how MoPub used to send nurl trackers in RTB 2.1
    • This does not apply for native. Bidders are required to use the native.imptrackers array to submit impression trackers instead.

2.5 multiple bid responses and multiple seat bids

DSPs are encouraged to send multiple bids for each seat represented in the bid response. These are collected in the bid array in the seatbid object. We consider all bids from all seats, exclude the ones that do not match blocklist or are invalid, and take the highest of the remaining eligible bids across each seat.

bidresponse.seatbid.seat technical requirements:

  • Alphanumeric (azAZ09)
  • Max length of 40 characters
  • Ideally min 8 characters

Note: We currently support only 1 impression per auction, so these bids would all be competing for that single impression.

2.6 Click tracking extensions (Native browser clicks & Deep Link+)

2.6.1 Native Browser Clicks

Partners may choose to use the native browser click functionality supported by the MoPub SDK where the click url will be opened in the device native browser instead of the in app webview.

You can target this functionality via the imp.ext.brsrclk field on the request (note: this is moved / changed from imp.banner.ext.nativebrowserclick since it is supported for video and native as well). If set to 1 it is supported by the requesting SDK.

In the creative returned in the adm field, this behavior can be triggered by setting the click through URL in the following format using a custom URI pattern (this custom URI will open the URL in the native OS browser):

mopubnativebrowser://navigate?url=[URL_ENCODED_CLICKTHROUGH_URL]

IMPORTANT: Ensure that ‘http://’ or ‘https://’ is included in the intended landing page URL.

For more information and examples, see here.

Starting in MoPub’s SDK version 3.9, we standardized an improved approach to submitting deep links that ensure a better end user experience + improved buy-side tracking. To leverage deep link plus do the following:

  1. Target the bid request flag imp.ext.dlp - if present, Deep Link+ is supported
  2. Submit all deep links with the deeplink+ scheme:
deeplink+://navigate?
            primaryUrl=PRIMARY_DEEPLINK&
            primaryTrackingUrl=PRIMARY_TRACKER&
            fallbackUrl=FALLBACK_URL&
            fallbackTrackingUrl=FALLBACK_TRACKER

Example deeplink+:

deeplink+://navigate?
            primaryUrl=twitter%3A%2F%2Ftimeline&
            primaryTrackingUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fmopub.com%2Fclicktracking&
            primaryTrackingUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fmopub.com%2Fmopubtracking&
            fallbackUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fmobile.twitter.com

2.7 OpenRTB Native Specification v1.0

This update includes support for the new Native Ads 1.0 sub specification for OpenRTB. We have a few important notes regarding this update for MoPub’s exchange:

  1. native.request is a string - Note that there will always be a leading “native” object inside the request object to note a native creative request type.
  2. bidders have two options for returning ad markup
    1. (preferred method) As a JSON object in the ext.admnative field [note this is similar to MoPub’s original method of native ad bidding]
    2. as a serialized string in the adm field (as noted by OpenRTB)
  3. MoPub is requiring a minimum width and height of 80x80px for the icon asset. A value of 80 is passed in the bid request assets.img.wmin and assets.img.hmin.
  4. Main image and icon image height and width are required in the bid response image object
  5. Current bidders in MoPub’s native ads can map the data fields to the following asset object ids:
    • 1 = title
    • 2 = main image
    • 3 = icon
    • 4 = text
    • 5 = ctatext
    • 6 = starrating
    • 7 = VAST
  6. Native video is currently in beta. Please contact your your account team or mopubDSPsuccess@twitter.com if you would like to participate.

2.8 Note on SSL

Currently, all MoPub in-app inventory supports both SSL and non-SSL creative. Bidders may choose how they want to deliver ad markup as a result of a winning bid.

Additionally, with respect to the bid request and response, we are currently investigating whether to require SSL here and will formally provide details once we’ve made an internal decision.

If you have any specific requirements or questions regarding SSL (creative or OpenRTB integration), please let your account team know.

2.9 Note on VAST Support

  • All VAST videos will auto-play on iOS and Android when video is enabled
  • Linear videos only

Bid Request

To verify if an ad impression can accept a video ad, the DSP must check for the following:

  • Auto-play video is not one of the blocked attributes in the banner object (from the battr field).
  • The value is derived from Section 5.3 of RTB 2.3 spec. For auto-play video ads, its value is 6. Thus, if battr doesn’t contain 6 in the array, you can target auto-play video.

Bid Response

Note: VAST videos and opt-in rewarded video bid responses should be identical and follow the requirements below. Reference the video bid response (section 6.2.3) for both video and rewarded video bid response examples.

Required fields:

  • bid.ext.duration
    • Must match the actual length of the video
    • Must adhere to min/max duration passed in the bid request
  • bid.ext.crtype
    • Type of video being served
  • bid.attr
    • This field indicates the type of creative being served
    • Its value is derived from Section 5.3 of RTB 2.3 spec
    • For auto-play video ads, its value is 6
  • bid.adm
    • The adm (or admarkup field) contains the entire VAST 2.0 XML payload, VAST 2.0 Wrapper, VAST 3.0 XML payload, or VAST 3.0 Wrapper
    • URL-encoded VAST tags are NOT supported

2.10 Inventory Packages

  • Inventory packages will follow similar specifications to PMPs
    • See PMP Object (Section 3.2.17) and Auction Types (Section 7) for more information
  • Bid Response: Look for a matching campaign for the requested Inventory Package. If there is a matching campaign found, return the dealID in the bid response. If there is no campaign for that inventory package, fallback to the open auction and do not respond with a dealID.
    • Please contact your account manager if you would like to be enabled for Inventory Packages

2.11 Viewability Support

DSPs can transact against inventory that has a viewability enabled SDK through Inventory Packages or the Viewability Vendor Flag

Inventory Packages

DSPs can transact against IAS and/or Moat inventory packages today. Viewability inventory packages represent publisher app inventory that currently have the IAS and/or Moat SDK integrated. To get started, contact your account team. See section above to learn more.

Viewability Vendor Flag

We are adding support for DSPs to target inventory that has the IAS and/or Moat SDK integrated. By delivering an IAS or Moat tag to an SDK that supports viewability, buyers can get more robust and accurate measurement.

Bid Request: The bid request will contain imp.ext.metric object which sends the vendor SDK that the publisher supports (See section 3.2.2.1 and 3.2.2.1.1)

Bid Response: Buyers are required to respond with the vendor in the bid response bid.ext when they are returning a campaign for viewability (See section 4.2.4)

We encourage you to read through our Viewability FAQs

2.12 GDPR

For more information about GDPR, see our FAQ

bidrequest.regs.ext.gdpr

The “Regs” object will signal whether or not the request is subject to GDPR regulations. It will do so via the extension attribute “gdpr” which is an integer that indicates: 0 = No, 1 = Yes. The extension is an object.

bidrequest.user.ext.consent

The “User” object will convey user consent when GDPR regulations are in effect. It will do so via the extension attribute “consent”. This string will pass “1” indicating the user has provided consent or “0” indicating that the user has not consented. The extension is an object and if GDPR does not apply, this field will be omitted from the bid request

If we do not have consent, we will not be collecting the following fields. Additionally, all of these fields except IFA will be omitted from the request. IFA will be present, however it will contain zeroes.

  • Advertising ID
  • Lat/Long
  • Age
  • Gender
  • Interest and demographic keywords
  • IP address: we will truncate the 8 lowest bits
  • city
  • metro
  • region
  • zipcode

3. Bid Request Variables & Definitions

Please ensure you have the OpenRTB 2.3 Specification Guide available while consulting below. This document will contain information and nuances specific to MoPub’s implementation and its expected that you also follow the guidelines presented in OpenRTB when unchanged.

Additional notes:

  • Below section naming will follow OpenRTB for simplicity
  • All fields will be populated in the request if available. We will never pass null values or empty strings. If noted as “always passed”, that parameter will always be present, otherwise it may not be present in all requests. For example, if the request doesn’t contain an SDK version, we will omit the field ver from the request.
  • Types and descriptions from OpenRTB aren’t included below
  • Any objects and attributes from OpenRTB not supported by MoPub will be noted by a strikethrough

All macros must be formatted as ${MACRO_NAME}

Macro substitution is supported for the following fields:

  • seatbid.bid.nurl
  • seatbid.bid.adm

4.4 Sending nbr when not bidding

Preferred for bidder to send a bare minimum bid response object when not bidding but providing nbr. For example:

{
  "id": "123",
  "nbr": 5
}

In this case the bidder would send back an HTTP 200 response code 200 with this barebones response object.
