Open Auction Line Item

Here is what you will see when creating a new line item in SDX. You will see the type pre-selected to open auction.

  • You can enter a Name (we suggest using something that summarizes the line item’s configuration, i.e., US Traffic or GB Traffic 500QPS).
  • Similarly, the Description field allows you to note details or updates for better trafficking management.
  • Using Requests Capping, you can set a QPS limit on line item level.

There are Differences Between QPS on an Endpoint and on a Line Item Level

  • The QPS limits on endpoint level (under Endpoints) are a globally applicable QPS setting (for that specific endpoint).
  • For more QPS granularity (e.g., “I want to further cap Italian traffic, but no other geographic areas”), you can use requests capping within line items.
  • Endpoint QPS overrules line item QPS. Therefore, always make sure that the corresponding endpoint is still able to deliver when configuring line item QPS.

If you click on the targeting selector, you’ll open another window:

About Request Parameters

Request parameters are additional parameters that indicate pieces of information that can be contained in an ad request and aren’t covered in the other parameters (i.e., apps, ad formats, device OS, etc.).

Examples include; device ID, GPS data (lat/long), user age and user interests. Currently, the parameters device ID and GPS data are available.
