appnexus_api

appnexus_api

appnexus_api module is just a layer between your application and appnexus API (https://wiki.appnexus.com/display/documentation/API+Documentation) that takes care of retrieving, caching and refreshing the token so you can concentrate on the logic of your application.

Install:

    $ npm i appnexus_api --save

Initialize:

In your code initialize it at least once before the usage (for example in your server.js):

    require('appnexus_api').init(appnexusSeats);

While appnexusSeats can be defined for example in your config.js file:

    const appnexusSeats = [
        {name: 'Appnexus_subSeat1', userName: 'Appnexus_subSeat1_userName1', password: 'Appnexus_subSeat1_password1'},
        {name: 'Appnexus_subSeat2', userName: 'Appnexus_subSeat1_userName1', password: 'Appnexus_subSeat1_password1'},
        {name: 'Appnexus_subSeat3', userName: 'Appnexus_subSeat1_userName1', password: 'Appnexus_subSeat1_password1'}
    ];

Usage:

In each module that uses Appnexus API, require it: const apiRequest = require('appnexus_api');

Then just call apiRequest method with the params and the appnexus_api module will take care of managing (retieving, caching and refreshing) the token :)

Examples:

Check the API documentation for all possible calls and parameters: https://wiki.appnexus.com/display/documentation/API+Documentation (e.g. for campaingns API: https://wiki.appnexus.com/display/api/Campaign+Service)

1. Retrieve campaingns:

    return apiRequest(appnexusSeatName, `https://api.appnexus.com/campaign?search=Mobile&start_element=0&num_elements=10`)
        .then((res) => ...your code here...);
   

2. Update campaigns:

    apiRequest(appnexusSeatName, url, body, 'PUT')
        .then((res) => ...your code here...);
