 The Thrads Supply-Side Platform (SSP) API enables publishers to run real-time first-price auctions across multiple DSPs (Demand-Side Platforms) and receive winning ad creatives in a single request.

​
Quickstart

  1. To get started, go to the Thrads Platform and create an account as a developer.
Currently the platform is open only to trusted partners so we will take 24h to review your application. Check back to the platform in 24 hours to get access and create your API key.
  1. Once your account is created, you will be able to create your chatbot instance and obtain your API KEY.

​
Authentication

All API requests require authentication using an API key in the request header: 
thrad-api-key: your-api-key
For browser-based requests, you’ll also need to register your domain for CORS support. Contact us at contact@thrads.ai to register your domains.
