Member data sharing service (contextual only)
Member data sharing service (for real-time data providers)
Tip
To make the Member Data Sharing documentation clearer, we've created this page which has only the calls that are relevant to data providers with a real time integration (i.e. data providers who have a bidder).
The Member Data Sharing Service allows you to share your segments with other platform members. Here's how it works:
- You ask the buyer to enable you (the data provider) in Invest DSP. The setting they must use to do this is located in the Invest DSP Segment Manager, under Manage Data Providers.
- You create a sharing record for a member that you want to share segments with.
- In the sharing record, you specify whether you want to share all of your segments or a specific list of segments.
- The member that you've shared your segments with can then target your segments in campaigns.
Note
In the case of bidders, shared segments will be sent with each bid request. It is up to the bidder to expose the segment to its relevant members. You can not share segments with external bidders.
Note that when you remove a segment from a sharing record, the member cannot add the segment to the targeting profile of any new or existing campaign. If the member is already targeting the segment in an existing campaign, however, the campaign will continue to target the segment until the member manually removes it from the campaign's targeting profile. Once the segment has been removed, the member will not be able to add it to the campaign's targeting profile again.
Tip
If you have custom segments intended for specific members, you should set segment_exposure to "list" in each sharing record and use the segments array to identify the segments that each member should have access to.
Note
The Member Data Sharing service works on BOTH Xandr's API (api.appnexus.com) as well as the impression bus API (api.adnxs.com). Although only api.adnxs.com is used below, it may be replaced with api.appnexus.com for those clients who have access to Xandr's API. Only members who are on Xandr will have access to the API. The majority of data providers can only access the impression bus API.
REST API
Note
JSON structure:
When adding or updating a single sharing record, you should structure the JSON as a single object called "member_data_sharing". When adding (POST) multiple sharing records, you should structure the JSON as an array of objects called "member_data_sharings" (note the plural) and place the sharing data in an array. You cannot update (PUT) multiple sharing records at the same time. For exact formatting, see the examples below.
JSON fields
| Field | Type (Length) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| buyer_member_id | int | The ID of the member with whom you are sharing segments. Required On: POST |
| data_member_id | int | Read-only. Your member ID. |
| id | int | The ID of the sharing record. Default: Auto-generated number Required On: PUT/DELETE, in query string |
| segment_exposure | enum | Whether you share all of your segments or a list of specific segments with the member. Possible values: "all" or "list". If you choose "all", any newly created segments will automatically be shared with the buyer member. If you create custom segments that should only be accessible to certain buyers, you should use "list" exposure. Required On: POST |
| segments | array of objects | If segment_exposure is "list", the list of segments that you are sharing with the member. See the first example below for formatting. Required On: POST/PUT, if segment_exposure is "list". |
