- name: Ad2iction Prebid Bid Endpoint
  description: 'The header-bidding demand endpoint operated by Ad2iction, TNL Mediagene''s ad-technology subsidiary (acquired
    by TNL Media Group in 2020). Publishers reach it through the `ad2iction` bidder adapter shipped in Prebid.js: the adapter
    POSTs an application/json body carrying `ids` (a JSON array of {bannerId, bidId} pairs, one per ad unit), the OpenRTB
    2.x `ortb2` first-party data object, Prebid `refererInfo`, an adapter version constant `v` (currently 3), a `udid` read
    from the first-party ad2udid cookie, and a cache-busting timestamp. The response is a bare JSON array of Prebid bid responses.
    Banner is the only supported media type; there is no Prebid Server adapter. The call is unauthenticated but placement-gated
    — the required `id` bid parameter is an Ad2iction-issued placement identifier obtained by contacting the company, and
    there is no self-service signup.'
