ads.txt, app-ads.txt, sellers.json and SupplyChain Manager for Revive Adserver

This plugin builds ads.txt and app-ads.txt lines from the demand partners configured in Revive Adserver, watches publisher domains for missing lines, and produces sellers.json and SupplyChain data. Publishers and networks keep their authorization files accurate from inside the ad server.

What it does

• Generates ads.txt and app-ads.txt lines from the demand partners already set up in Revive, so the files follow your real partner list instead of a hand-kept spreadsheet.
• Validates syntax before you publish, which catches malformed lines early.
• Crawls publisher domains on a schedule and alerts when expected lines are missing, so a removed or changed line is noticed before it affects buyer checks.
• Generates a sellers.json file for networks with seller id, name, domain and seller type, giving buyers the seller details they look up.
• Builds the SupplyChain object for outgoing bid requests, so the chain of intermediaries travels with the request.
• Shows missing or mismatched lines on one dashboard, so ad ops can see what needs fixing at a glance.

How it fits your ad stack

The plugin works from the demand partners configured in Revive Adserver and from the publisher domains you list for crawling. ads.txt, app-ads.txt, sellers.json and the SupplyChain object (all v1.1) let buyers verify who is authorized to sell inventory and see the chain of intermediaries, and buyers.json and the DemandChain object (v1.0) do the same on the demand side. This plugin covers the supply side files and object described below.

What happens when a line goes missing on a publisher domain?
