Integration with Programmatic Media on 4yousee Manager

To facilitate integration with various Demand Side Platforms (DSPs) for programmatic media, 4yousee has developed an application that enables automatic and streamlined connection with multiple providers, such as Hivestack, PlaceExchange, AdsMovil, and Outcon.

This document provides the necessary guidelines for configuring each DSP correctly and integrating your advertising content effectively.

Metadata Functionality 

The 4yousee system uses metadata functionality to simplify integration with different DSP platforms. Through this functionality, you can configure the access credentials for each DSP directly within the HTML5 application using an intuitive form.

If you are not yet familiar with this functionality, you can refer to the metadata documentation to understand how to configure the variables that populate the JSON file responsible for storing the credentials and information for each DSP.

In this article, you will learn how to configure programmatic media content on the 4yousee Manager platform using metadata and custom fields in the player.
