Bot Targeting¶

This article describes resources that enable you to provide line-level bot fraud protection.

Overview¶

The Verizon Media DSP supports BOT targeting for lines serving display and video ads so that you can ensure your ads are properly represented and delivered to real people, rather than to bot traffic.

Note

Bot targeting is only available via special role.

Endpoint¶

Use the following endpoint to read or specify line-level bot protection settings.

/traffic/lines/{id}/targeting

A GET request enables you to view line-level bot protection for the specified line.
A POST request enables you to add line-level bot protection for the specified line.

Resources¶

This resource comprises multiple fields that enable you to specify line targeting across many types of targets including the SEGMENT, EXCHANGES, and BOT target types.

The targeting resource is defined by the following BOT targeting type-specific fields:
