Overview: The following information is pertaining to how the IRIS.TV Contextual Video Marketplace activates contextual data partners segments for open auction buying via contextual data partners pre-bid integration in the DSP.
How Contextual Data Partners Utilize the iris_id:
Available contextual data partners can utilize the Context API route 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.
How to Retrieve an 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: If a data partner receives an unknown iris_id from a DSP they will need to retrieve the source_url for the unknown iris_id.
Retrieving a new iris_id once the current one has expired: If a data partner want to actively retrieve a new iris_id to replace an expired iris_id.
The parameters necessary for both approaches above include:
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:
https://context.iris.tv/refresh?access_token=98aljfalmn&iris_id=iris_46akanap
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.
Retrieving the source_url For an 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:
{ "source_url" : "https://www.sample_pub_url.mp4",
"iris_id" : "iris_78191lilpoe019",
"iris_id_expires_at" : 1588291200,
"iris_id_next" : "iris_1897aflaja",
"iris_id_next_expires_at" : 1588401200
}
Retrieving a New iris_id When One Has Expired:
Once the TTL for an asset’s iris_id has passed, the data partner will query IRIS.TV with an asset URL to retrieve the new iris_id.
Data Partner should make a call to the IRIS API
IRIS API will respond with the following:
{ "source_url" : "https://www.sample_pub_url.mp4",
"iris_id" : "iris_78191lilpoe019",
"iris_expires" : 2020-04-15 17:55:07.582Z,
"iris_id_next" : "iris_1897aflaja",
"iris_id_next_expires_at" : 1588401200
}
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.
