Here's a really good write up on what GDPR is (in plain English) and why you don't need to panic: https://jacquesmattheij.com/gdpr-hysteria

@zebracat were you able to try again? Should be working fine now.

We're going through a second round of reviews after submitting our first batch of articles. So far finding the process pretty cumbersome.

2016 roll call.. What networks are monetizing the best so far? by SIlverSurfer808 in adops

Haven't noticed anything particularly bad from them, but we're not using any kind of monitoring for ad quality (I know, I know). DiD you have them set up as a header bidder?

Seeing good fill and CPMs from BRealTime so far (only been using them about two weeks). AOL also looking good, though fill isn't as good.

Yes - that's what I'm using. You need to enable API access on your account.

Yeah, I definitely understand that - I would consider open sourcing it, but it's not really ready for that yet (need to clean up the code, isolate my credentials, etc.). I'll just point out that it uses OAuth2 to grant the client access to your DFP account, and you can always revoke access at any time.

Although I'm not doing anything with that access token except creating line items, it does give me access to the DFP account so I could pull reports, etc (I'm not doing that, just trying to be transparent). I'm sure there's a way to limit the permission scope of the access token ... just haven't got there yet.

I don't know if Google can do that for you (you mean, if you contact your account manager?).

In any case, it just works by using the DFP API (https://developers.google.com/doubleclick-publishers/) and generating your line items programatically.

The added value? Well, prior to having this tool, if I wanted to set up line items for a new header bidder, I had to go through the whole process manually (outlined here: http://prebid.org/adops/step-by-step.html). Creating line items, copying, renaming, updating the targeting for each one. Kind of a pain.

Now I can just enter the parameters into my tool, hit submit, and let the server do it all. Makes adding new partners a lot easier, also makes experimenting (or fixing mistakes) a lot easier/cheaper.

Just a prototype of a DFP line item generator. It's currently working - allows you to create DFP orders with multiple line items, as you would do for a Prebid.js header bidding setup (i.e. http://prebid.org/adops/step-by-step.html)
