DOOH endpoints

Adhese has three endpoints in place for DOOH integrations:

Assets Download Endpoint (aka Headsup request)
https://headsup-[customer].adhese.org/api/headsup/download-list/sl[positioncode]
Playlist Endpoint with a limited number of ads
https://ads-[customer].adhese.com/m/stack/sl[positioncode]?max_ads=[amount]
Playlist Endpoint with unlimited amount of ads
https://ads-[customer].adhese.com/e/stack/sl[positioncode]

The Headsup and Unlimited Playlist endpoints must be enabled by Adhese support before they can be used.

Assets download endpoint

To ensure the assets become available in the response, the "Use in heads-up file" setting must be enabled on the format level. All admin users can perform this action in the Adhese UI.

https://headsup-[customer].adhese.org/api/headsup/download-list/sl[positioncode]

Parameters	Value	Required
customer	The name of your Adhese account	Yes
position code	The code of the position you wish to request: [location code]-[format code]. This value is always prefixed by 'sl'.	Yes

The headsup endpoint returns all the materials for the campaigns running on the requested DOOH position. The JSON response consists of an array "media" that may be empty or populated with multiple ad objects, depending on the number of active campaigns.

An example response:

{
    "media":[
        {
            "ad":{
                "id":"https://pool-demo.adhese.com/pool/lib/562_2nd_1.mp4",
                "mime":"video/mp4",
                "curl":"https://pool-demo.adhese.com/pool/lib/562_2nd_1.mp4",

            }
        },
        {
            "ad":{
                "id":"https://pool-demo.adhese.com/pool/lib/560_2nd_1.mp4",

            }
        },
        {
            "ad":{
                "id":"https://pool-demo.adhese.com/pool/lib/561_2nd_1.mp4",
                "mime":"video/mp4",

            }
        }
    ]
}

Playlist endpointendpoints

With an amount limit

https://ads-[customer].adhese.com/m/stack/sl[positioncode]/pi[playerid]?max_ads=[amount]

Parameters	Value	Required
customer	The name of your Adhese account	Yes
position code	The code of the position you wish to request is [location code]-[format code]. This value is always prefixed by 'sl'.	Yes
max_ads	The maximum number of ads you wish to request	Yes
player ID	The ID of the player. The value needs to be prefixed by a 2-letter code. Adhese support needs to configure this code.	No

The playlist endpoint returns a subset of DOOH campaigns at the requested DOOH position. The JSON response consists of an array "ads" which can be empty or populated with multiple objects depending on the number of active campaigns.

The max_ads parameter defines the maximum number of returned ads. A separate configuration on the adserver can be activated to ensure this value never exceeds a specific limit.

A player ID can be provided as an optional parameter in the request. This ID can be used for a number of purposes:

Targeting campaigns on specific players
Creating reports on player level
Server-side mapping of additional data. This data is then available for targeting and reporting

The structure of the JSON object that is returned for each campaign must be configured in the adserver using an advar template.

An example response:

{
    "ads":[
        {
            "id":"https://pool-demo.adhese.com/pool/lib/562_2nd_1.mp4",
