Site service

08/30/2024

A site (also called a placement group) provides a way of grouping placements for management purposes. Ad quality and inventory categorization can be set at the site level, so it doesn't have to be duplicated across placements. Each site belongs to a publisher, and each placement must belong to a site.

When you create a publisher, a site is automatically created. You can then modify that site however you wish or create more sites.

See the Placement Service for more information about media types and subtypes fields. - If `false`, expandable placements within the site cannot be moved to a site where the field is `true`. - If set to `false` all inventory associated with this site's placements is only available to direct campaigns.

Create a site with a mobile app supply type

In this example we create a site designed for mobile app supply. We'll use it in our next example as well:

$ cat the-site.json
 
{"site":{"name":"One site to rule them all", "supply_type":"mobile_app"}}
 
$ curl -b cookies -X POST -d @the-site.json 'https://api.appnexus.com/site?publisher_id=102306'
 
{
    "response":{,
         "site":{
            "allowed_click_actions":[
                "click-to-web"
            ],
             "creative_formats":[
                "text"
            ],
             "inventory_attributes":null,
             "content_categories":null,
             "placements":null,
             "mobile_app_instance":null,
             "member_id":1309,
             "creative_format_action":"exclude",
             "supply_type":"mobile_app",
             "publisher_name":"RICH'S CRAZY RESELLER",
             "audited":false,
             "intended_audience":null,
             "last_modified":"2014-02-20 20:56:03",
             "primary_content_category_id":null,
             "publisher_id":102306,
             "url":"",
             "state":"active",
             "name":"One site to rule them all",
             "code":null,
             "id":273205
        },
         "num_elements":100,
         "start_element":0,
         "id":273205,
         "count":1,
         "status":"OK"
    }
}

Add a mobile app instance to a site

In this example, we have a pre-existing site with the required mobile app supply type. We make a PUT call to associate our site with an existing mobile app instance, and we can see that it worked by viewing the updated object in the response. For more details on mobile app instances, see the Mobile App Instance Service.

$ cat update.json

{"site":{"supply_type":"mobile_app", "mobile_app_instance":{"id":62}}}
 
$ curl -b cookies -X PUT -d @update.json
 
{
    "response":{
        "site":{
            "allowed_click_actions":[
                "click-to-web"
            ],
            "creative_formats":[
                "text"
            ],
            "inventory_attributes":null,
            "content_categories":null,
            "placements":null,
            "mobile_app_instance":{
                "os_family_id":3,
                "bundle_id":"2342342345566666",
                "id":62
            },
            "member_id":1309,
            "creative_format_action":"exclude",
            "supply_type":"mobile_app",
            "publisher_name":"RICH'S CRAZY RESELLER",
            "audited":false,
            "intended_audience":null,
            "last_modified":"2014-02-20 21:18:15",
            "primary_content_category_id":null,
            "publisher_id":102306,
            "url":"",
            "state":"active",
            "name":"One site to rule them all",
            "code":null,
            "id":273205
        },
        "num_elements":100,
        "start_element":0,
