Xandr Inventory Setup Instructions

Please contact support if you want to connect to Xandr as this connection requires setup and a change to your contract.

Before you can traffic creatives to Xandr, you need to set up Xandr-specific inventory for a given account.

If necessary, the Support team can help you set this up using DB / UI-API automation scripts.

  1. Create a publisher.

    • Part of: "Main Publisher" (or account name),

    • Company name: "Xandr",

    • Active: ✅.

  2. Create publications.

    • For each site domain or app bundle (app ID), there needs to be a publication.

    • Publisher: Xandr,

    • Active: yes,

    • Name: site domain or app name & platform (like “Example.com - Android”) if this is an app-related publication,

    • Quote: leave empty

    • Website: domain name or matching the app ID, like “com.example.android or 123456789” if this is an app-related publication.

  3. Create a location.

    • For each publication, there needs to be a location.

    • Publication: choose a publication created in step 2,

    • Name: same as the publication name,

    • URL: "xandr_" and the site domain or app bundle, for example:

      • “xandr_example.com” for websites,
      • “xandr_com.example.android.news.mobilead” for Android apps,
      • “xandr_123456789” for iOS apps,
    • Channel: normal position (no group).

  4. Create missing formats and/or ensure existing formats can be used for Xandr bid requests.

    • Tag: yes,

    • Code tag & Code book: the code tag of a format must contain a tag with numeric dimensions, e.g. "300x600". If another code tag is already defined, prepend the numeric tag with a semicolon, like "300x600;halfpage". Ensure the code book value is also updated (it supports semicolons as well).

    • See documentation on formats for further reference.

  5. Create positions.

    • For each combination of the Xandr location and a format, there needs to be a position.

    • Location: publication-name [] location-name

    • Format: required format, e.g. Halfpage, 300 * 600, 0kB

    • Position Type: normal javascript
