This page has answers to some frequently asked questions about Prebid Server. If you don't find what you're looking for here, there are other ways to get help.

Do we need to be a member of Prebid.org to submit a bidder adapter?

Nope. The only approval process is a code review. There are separate instructions for:

As for membership in Prebid.org, that's entirely optional -- we'd be happy to have you join and participate in the various committees, but it's not necessary for contributing code as a community member.

How can I debug Prebid Server requests?

  • When invoking Prebid Server through Prebid.js, this can be done just by adding ?pbjs_debug=true to the page URL.
  • Through AMP, you can put test: 1 in the stored request, or add debug=1 to the query string of Prebid Server's AMP endpoint.
  • If calling directly, add test: 1 to the JSON.

Why are there two versions of Prebid Server? Are they kept in sync?

The original version of Prebid Server was the Go-Lang version. Rubicon Project ported it to Java because they had more Java talent than Go.

Both versions are live in production, and they are kept identical in external APIs and quite close in functionality. See https://github.com/rubicon-project/prebid-server-java/blob/master/docs/differenceBetweenPBSGo-and-Java.md for the list of differences.

There are no plans at this point to stop development on either version.

How can I use Prebid Server in a mobile app post-bid scenario?

Just schedule a post-bid creative in the ad server.

  1. Load the production Prebid JS package
  2. Set up the AdUnit
  3. Set the app and device objects with setConfig(). e.g.
pbjs.setConfig({
    s2sConfig: {
    ...
    },
    app: {
        bundle: "com.test.app"
    },
    device: {
         ifa: "6D92078A-8246-4BA4-AE5B-76104861E7DC"
    }
});
