Digital Platform API - Creative Template service

  • Artigo

The Xandr platform categorizes creatives by format, media type, and media subtype. Format defines the resource type of creatives (flash, image, etc.); media type defines the general display style of creatives (banner, expandable, video, etc.); and media subtype defines the specific display style of creatives (standard banner, MediaMind expandable, Standard VAST, etc.).

Standard templates

For each format, media type, and media subtype combination, Xandr provides a standard creative template that ensures proper rendering on web pages when creatives are served. You cannot edit these templates, but the Creative Template Service allows you to view them and examine their rendering code.

Custom templates

If you want to customize the way certain types of creatives render, you can build your own templates. With custom templates, you have complete control of the JavaScript, HTML, or XML rendering code, and you can define macros to prompt your traffickers to enter information and make decisions about the behavior of creatives when they are uploaded.

Note

You can have up to 100 custom templates. However, Xandr does not provide support for creatives that do not render correctly as a result of errors in custom template code.

REST API

HTTP Method Endpoint Description
GET https://api.appnexus.com/template View all templates (standard and custom).
GET https://api.appnexus.com/template?member_id=null View standard templates only.
GET https://api.appnexus.com/template?id=TEMPLATE_ID View a specific template.
POST https://api.appnexus.com/template
(template JSON)		 Add a new custom template.
PUT https://api.appnexus.com/template?id=TEMPLATE_ID
(template JSON)

Warning:
When you modify a custom template, your changes immediately affect any creatives that are already using the template. If your changes cause these creatives to stop rendering properly, their audit status will be changed to "rejected," and they will stop serving on most third-party inventory.		 Modify a custom template.
DELETE https://api.appnexus.com/template?id=TEMPLATE_ID

Note:
You cannot delete a custom template that is used by one or more creatives, but you can archive the template to prevent future creatives from using it. For more details, see the Archiving a custom template example below.		 Delete a custom template.

Creating a Custom Template (iPhone only)

This functionality is for an ad to download a specific app from iTunes. A “direct-link” will not work in iPhone because of security. Therefore, it cannot access the Seller Tag (AST) Library directly. In lieu of this, we raise an event.

Warning

The user should have some prior familiarity with creating custom templates and macros.

To accomplish this:

Create a placement that has a default creative that uses a template. This lists the templates the member has access to. There’s a set of Xandr creative templates that are not standard templates. This situation would require a custom template.

The template needs to be associated with the default creative. When that creative is selected, it finds this template. It sends out an additional JavaScript function, along with the creative. It calls that function and then sends that event to the Seller Tag library. This will open the iTunes app store from the main page frame, where the Seller Tag library is running.

Summarizing:

  1. The template takes in a urI.
  2. It sends an event out to the Seller Tag library.
  3. Seller Tag core has a listener for this custom event, and it launches iTunes.
  4. We pass this event name and what app store url that we want to open. The url takes you to the specific resource in the iTunes app store.

Example template

function iTunesClick(url)
{window.parent.document.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('apntag_iTunesLaunch', {
detail: { url: url }})); }
document.write('<a
href="#"
onclick="iTunesClick(\\\'${CLICK_URL}\\\');"><img
width="${CREATIVE_WIDTH}" height="${CREATIVE_HEIGHT}"
style="border-style: none" src="${MEDIA_URL}"/></a>');

JSON fields

Field Type Description
id int The ID of the creative template.
Required On: PUT/DELETE, in query string.
name string (30) The name of the creative template.
Required On: POST
description string The description of the creative template.
member_id int The ID of the member that owns the template. For standard Xandr templates, this is null.
Read Only.
ad_type string Note:
This field only applies when you are associating creatives to augmented line items.
The type of creative used. Possible values:
- "banner"
- "video" (includes audio types)
- "native"
This value determines how auction items are tracked for the line item's buying strategy, paying strategy, optimization options, creative association, and targeting options.

Note:
All creatives associated to a line item must have the same ad type, which should match the ad_type selected in the Line Item Service - ALI.
media_subtype object The display style of creatives that can use this template. Each media subtype belongs to a superordinate media type, for example, the "Standard Banner" media subtype belongs to the "Banner" media type. For more details, see Media Subtype below.
Required On: POST
format object The format of creatives that can use this template, for example, "image" or "flash". For more details, see Format below.
Required On: POST
is_default boolean If true, the template is automatically assigned to creatives that match the template's media type, media subtype, and format. When the creatives are uploaded, this default assignment can be overridden, if necessary. Note that there can be only one default creative template per media type, media subtype, and format combination.
Default: false
is_archived boolean If true, the template is archived. Archiving a template prevents future creatives from using the template but does not affect creatives already using the template.
Default: false
content_js string The template's rendering code in JavaScript. The code can include both Xandr standard macros and your own custom macros. Xandr macros must begin with the $ symbol, and custom macros must begin with the # symbol. Each custom macro must be defined in the macros array.
Required On: POST, if content_html and content_xml are not provided.
content_html string The template's rendering code in HTML. The code can include both Xandr standard macros and your own custom macros. Xandr macros must begin with the $ symbol, and custom macros must begin with the # symbol. Each custom macro must be defined in the macros array.
Required On: POST, if content_js and content_xml are not provided.
content_xml string Deprecated (as of October 17, 2016).
callback_content_html string When media_subtype is "Popup" or "Popunder", content_js defines the rendering code for the pop window, and this field defines the rendering code for the content in the pop window.
macros array of objects The custom macros used in the content_js, content_html, or content_xml fields. You can include up to 20 custom macros in a template. For more details, see Custom Macros below.
last_modified timestamp The date and time when the creative template was last modified.
Read Only.

Media subtype

You can use the Media Subtype Service and Media Type Service to view all supported media subtypes and the media types to which they belong.

Field Type Description
id int The ID of media subtype.
Required On: POST
name string The name of the media subtype.
Read Only.
mediatype_id int The ID of the media type to which the subtype belongs.
Read Only.
media_type_name string The name of the media type to which the subtype belongs.
Read Only.

Format

You can use the Creative Format Service to view all supported creative formats.

Field Type Description Filter By? Sort By?
id int The ID of creative format.
Required On: POST		 Yes Yes
name string The name of the creative format.
Read Only.		 Yes Yes

Custom macros

You must define each custom macro used in the content_js, content_html, or content_xml field.

Field Type (Length) Description
code string (30) The macro name exactly as it is used in the content_js, content_html, or content_xml field. For example, if #{BORDER_SIZE} is the macro in the content_js field, you would pass "BORDER_SIZE" here.
Required On: POST
name string (50) The user-friendly name for this macro that traffickers will see when they add creatives that use this template via the UI.
Required On: POST
type enum The type of value that traffickers will provide for this macro when they add creatives that use this template via the Creative Service or UI. Possible values: "true/false", "string", "url", "integer", "decimal", "string_list", "select_from_list" and "file". For example, on the UI, if you set this to "true/false", traffickers will see the macro name followed by a check box.
Required On: POST
is_required boolean If true, traffickers will be required to provide a value for the macro when adding creatives that use this template.
Required On: POST
default_value string If is_required is false, this is the default value that will be used when traffickers do not provide a value for the macro when adding creatives that use this template.
Required On: POST, if is_required is false.
other_data string The accepted values for the macro, if type is "string_list" or "select_from_list".
