Akamai DAP Real Time Data Provider Module

The Akamai Data Activation Platform (DAP) is a privacy-first system that protects end-user privacy by only allowing them to be targeted as part of a larger cohort. Akamai DAP Real time data Provider automatically invokes the DAP APIs and submit audience segments and the Secure Ad ID(SAID) to the bid-stream. SAID is a JWT/JWE which carries with it the cohorts and only a side-car or trusted server in the demand-side platform is allowed to see its contents.

Publisher Usage

1) Build the akamaiDapRTD module into the Prebid.js package with:

gulp build --modules=akamaiDapRtdProvider,...

2) Use setConfig to instruct Prebid.js to initilaize the akamaiDapRtdProvider module, as specified below.

Configuration

  realTimeData: {
    dataProviders: [
      {
