3rd Party API Reporting

Securely pull data from mediated ad sources into the AerServ UI to ensure
the most accurate and comprehensive view of revenue and performance.

This feature is completely optional - you can enable API reporting for some networks, but not others. Data integration will take place throughout the day - updated based on the frequency of the Ad Source. Intraday metrics will continue to be powered by AerServ - these will be overwritten when the 3rd party data is imported. Not all ad sources offer 3rd Party API Reporting - below is a list of networks that AerServ currently supports.

Benefits of Enabling API Reporting 

  Dynamic CPMs

Enabling 3rd Party API Reporting allows AerServ to automatically update mediation ad networks' CPMs throughout the day. You're no longer bound to the static CPM value you enter when setting up the ad source. API Reporting allows us to update the CPM value based on what the ad source is actually paying throughout the day.

  Improved Auto-Pilot Accuracy

Enabling API reporting helps ensure our Auto-Pilot algorithm is selecting the ad source with the highest bid for any given auction.
