Introducing BidCore¶
BidCore is a bidder with classic DSP-side features such as targeting, campaign and line item management, and budget management and spending strategies. Additionally, you can augment your usage by integrating first-party data sources or accessing 3rd party integrations. Around this core functionality, you can avail of reporting and logging features, and you could integrate your platform with it using the API or you can use BidCore’s own User Interface.
Integration Types¶
Integrations with BidCore may use a shared node or a dedicated node. Both sit atop the real-time layer where the settings specified in the node are actually executed. The difference between each is essentially a speed versus customisation trade-off. Both allow you to implement unique buying strategies, add 1st and 3rd party integrations, and keep partner data completely separate.
A dedicated node is required if you have unique architecture needs that require developer work, and setup time will depend on development complexity. Whereas a new partner can be set up on a shared node within a few hours.
Interfaces¶
BidCore offers a Workflow API and a User Interface as ways in which to manage your integration.
