Initial Release
Prebid.js Adapter. When the adapter is updated, these updates have to be merged into the next Prebid.js release to be able to be used by a client. We will update here what the minimum required Prebid.js release version is, to support the latest version of the fwssp Prebid.js adapter. See here to download the latest version of Prebid.js, make sure to select fwssp from the list of adapters: https://docs.prebid.org/download.html | |||

- Header Bidding Integration: Allows publishers to conduct pre-auction bidding before making ad server calls
- Adapter System: Uses specialized adapters (like FreeWheel's
fwssp
adapter) to connect with different demand sources - Format Support: Supports various ad formats including in-banner video and instream video ads
- Customization: Offers extensive configuration options for publishers to control bidding behaviorbehaviour
Note |
---|
With the sunsetting of SFX, any customers using an existing SFX-based Prebid.JS js integration will need to complete a new adapter integration in order to migrate to their new FW SSP network. This page outlines the integration steps for publishers to complete these steps. |
1.1 Integration Diagram
Pre-requisites
...
- A working Prebid.js integration
- Expected QPS volumes (daily max and average)
- Estimated traffic per geo
- Ensure ads.txt and app ads.txt are up to date
- Must used use adapter released in version 910.5110.0 or above
- New endpoint url - see section below
- Freewheel account team to provide:
- Profile ID
- Network ID
- Custom site section ID
- Dedicated server url URL for the clients network
...
2. Technical Implementation
...
- Include the Prebid.js library along with the fwssp Bidder Adapter in their web pages
- First timers setting up Prebid.js can download the Prebid.js package along with the fwssp Bidder Adapter here. Assure to select FWSSP from the list of bidder adapters
- For those with existing Prebid.js setups, you can find the fwssp Bidder Adapter code here to add to yours Predbidyour existing Prebid.js wrapper setup
- Configure bid parameters including network ID, profile, site section ID, and other FreeWheel-specific parameters
- Set up proper correlation between Prebid.js ad units and their ad server slots

You can use the fwssp bidder adapter by adding an Ad Unit with bidder code "fwssp". The following is the example of an in-banner ad request in its most minimal form, which can call be found on Github.
Code Block | ||||||

This new Prebid.js adapter will work in parallel to the existing SFX adapters whilst the migration of clients is complete. Then the fwssp bidder is going to replace the SFX instances of freewheel-ssp and freewheelssp bidders in the future once SFX is deprecated. Note that the SFX adapters will be deprecated later in 2025 once all clients have migrated to their new networks. After this date, clients will no longer be able to use the SFX Prebid.js adapters. |
5. Parameters to Include
The following are parameters that either are mandatory or optionally included the Prebid headers within ad requests.
Warning |
---|
Failure to include any required parameters may mean that ad requests do not work. |
profile: '42015:js_allinone_profile',
siteSectionId: 'js_allinone_demo_site_section',
videoAssetId: '0',
flags: '+play-uapl' // optional: users may include capability if needed
mode: 'live',
adRequestKeyValues: { // optional: users may include adRequestKeyValues if needed
_fw_player_width: '1920',
_fw_player_height: '1080'

title | Additional Details of Passing of Standard Attributes |
---|
We have dedicated documents (for VAST and ORTB-S) that includes details of the passing of Standard Attributes (such as Brand, Channel, IAB Category, Genre, Content title, as well as Schain, GDPR) within ad requests.
...
7. Passing Contextual Information via Standard Attributes
...
In order to successfully monetize your supply and align all relevant demand, we'll require clients to correctly pass contextual information around the supply also known as Standard Attributes. The page
https://hub.freewheel.tv/display/MUG/Inventory+Standardization+with+FreeWheel+Custom+Key+Values
...
6. Endpoint
Clients will be provided with a unique endpoint for which to send requests. Endpoints will have a variable prefix ID which is the Network ID in hexadecimal format. The Endpoint Prefix ID will need to be added as a prefix within the URL:
...
- Format
- https://prefixID.v.fwmrm.net/ad/g/1
- Example with custom prefix ID included
- https://83b96.v.fwmrm.net/ad/g/1
...
details the fields required to pass the needed information within your ad requests. This document includes details of the passing of Standard Attributes such as Brand, Channel, IAB Category, Genre, Content title, etc.
Mandatory Standard Attributes are typically Brand and Genre, however, this may change depending on your inventory. Please work with your account manager for what is required for you.
...
8. User Syncing/Cookie Syncing
*This section is only necessary for web inventory
User Syncing, also known as Cookie Syncing, is the process of sharing and matching HTTP cookies between various partners. The concept of Cookie Tracking is restrictive in the amount of information that can be collected and actioned upon for advertisers. This is because cookies are limited to domain and have varying expiration dates. In order for Freewheel to be able to identify, target and frequency cap across various digital properties in accordance with campaign KPI's, Freewheel needs to know how to distinguish one user from another that are sent to us in the publisher's bid request.
User/cookie syncing with Freewheel is available for Prebid.JS clients with the expectation that the client's cookies, if passed, will be included in the http headers of the ad request. When this is present, it will then be used downstream to check if we have a cookie match with the DSPs as we send outgoing bid requests.

9. Schain/Sellers JSON/Ads.txt/app ads.txt
Your Freewheel account representative will provide you with the required codes to enter in your ads.txt and ensure that your new publisher IDs are added into our sellers.JSON as an onboarding step. This schain object will be passed in the ext.schain object of the ORTB ad request - please refer here to the ORTB-S Integration Guide section 5.10 for further information on this.

10. Troubleshooting Tips
Since integrations often break due to typos, errors in config, we highly recommend checking the format of your requests based on the samples below or the documentation housed on Github. Please also ensure that you use the correct adapter for JS - fwssp and not another adapter.
The below code blocks are examples of the expected parameters as a guide and to sanity check the code
