Overview: The following information is pertaining to how the IRIS.TV Contextual Video Marketplace activates contextual data partners segments to for open auction buying via contextual data partners pre-bid integration in the DSP.

Available contextual data partners will be given an can utilize the Context API route from IRIS.TV to retrieve the source_url for an iris_id. The contextual data provider will be responsible for querying IRIS.TV when they receive an unknown iris_id.

Contextual data partners have two scenarios when they will want to match a source_url to an iris_id, which include:
Retrieving the source_url for an unknown iris_id: When they receive If a data partner receives an unknown iris_id from a DSP . In this use case, the data partner they will need to retrieve the source_url for the unknown iris_id.
Retrieving a new iris_id once the current one has expired: When they If a data partner want to actively retrieve a new iris_id to replace an expired iris_id.

access_token
: created using the OAuth standard. IRIS.TV will provide the data partner with a client ID and client secret.iris_id
: The iris_id sent to the data partner by the DSP.
Context API Route for Retrieval:
The iris_id should be passed as a query parameter. The access_token is passed in the header. Here’s a curl example of the request:

$ curl -D - -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJlbmMiOiJBMjU2Q0JDLUhTNTEyIiwiYWxnIjoiZGlyIn0..QDidXo9Z96KCluZ4kLbtMg.Fw3Wm064Co78iCFWtBL8Hwp-RX7YgtsvsXGizHKv3w0.EJiELVDD14HmqkuvzPfunjIaKS3427GOaFqsvIs8MUc" https://context.iris.tv/refresh?id=iris_55824d003e738991 |
If the iris_id is valid, IRIS.TV will return a 200 response with the following parameters:
iris_id
- the asset’s current iris_id.iris_id_expires_at
- the UNIX timestamp when the current iris_id will expire.iris_id_next
- the iris_id that will be valid after the current one expires.iris_id_next_expires_at
- the UNIX timestamp for when the next iris_id will expire.source_url
- the source_url for the video asset.

Note on “source_url”
There are two important limitations on the “source_url”.
...
.
...
“source_url” is not guaranteed to be a unique identifier since some publishers will syndicate content to other publishers. Therefore, the data provider must use the iris_id to identify the asset instead of the “source_url”.

Unknown iris_id:
When data partners receive an unknown iris_id from a DSP, they will query IRIS.TV with the unknown iris_id. IRIS.TV will respond with the following:

Data partners are responsible for the above workflows and how that operates with their DSP partners in order to have valid iris_ids at all times.
