Introduction
Welcome to the Wbid docs!
This guide is for publishers. Wbid – it’s a platform for easy use
Header Bidding. With the help of Wbid you can create new placements, add adapters for monetization, configure settings and an adapter, receive ad units, and integration with Google Ad Manager is also available.
Getting started
An account manager creates a user in
dashboard.wmgroup.us with the prebid monetization type. After the publisher receives a username and password to enter the Dashboard page. Also, publisher needs to integrate with his
Google Ad Manager.
Progressbar integration:
After integration, the publisher gets access to the WBID control panel.
WBID control panel looks like this:
Publisher has the ability to:
1
Create site and placement
2
Edit/delete site and placement

3. After filling in the required fields, theSave button becomes active. Click on the Save button:
New config has been created in the database and redirects to theTags panel:
import time
import random
def setup_configuration():
print("Setting up configuration...")
time.sleep(2) # Simulating configuration process
if random.choice([True, False]): # Randomly decide if
configuration is successful
print("Configuration successfully created!")
return True
else:
print("Configuration failed.")
return False
if __name__ == "__main__":
if setup_configuration():
print("Proceeding with the next steps.")
else:
print("Please check the configuration and try again.")
Publisher adds this generated code to Ad Maneger Google. In the future, add a tag for the
Ad server and if you use the tag directly from the site.
