Enable Index in Nimbus

Media Owners can access Index Exchange (Index)'s banner and video demand by enabling Index in Nimbus.

1. Contact Index to begin the integration process. An Index Representative performs a technical assessment of the integration and verifies if it meets the requirements.

2. After the assessment is complete and approved, Index completes the following:

   1. Index creates a new Index account for you.

   2. Index creates four SiteIDs in your account for iOS banner, iOS video, Android banner, and Android video inventory. The SiteIDs are sent to you and a Nimbus account representative for implementation.

   3. Index creates a new ads.txt and app-ads.txt entry for your account and sends this information to you.

3. You must add the ads.txt and app-ads.txt entry that you have received from Index as follows:
   • Add the ads.txt entry in the root of the website domain whose inventory you are selling. To learn more about the ads.txt file and format, see the IAB Tech Lab ads.txt specification.
   • Add the app-ads.txt entry in the root of the domain associated with the app whose inventory you are selling. To learn about the app-ads.txt file and format, see the IAB Tech Lab app-ads.txt specification.

4. After you have updated the ads.txt and app-ads.txt file and Nimbus has completed the implementation, Index runs a health check to make sure that any discrepancies are minimal.

5. Your integration is moved to production.
