Prebid 1.x+ - what happened to IndexExchange?

[cwbeck]

It would seem a major SSP is missing from Prebid 1.x+? Do we know when the IndexExchange adapter will make an appearance?

The latest I heard from the Index team ( last week ) is that its on track for release in April unfortunately, real headache on our migration to 1.x+

Do you have a list with the latest known status of all modules for 1.x? I am particularly interested in spotx but would be nice to know when/if we can expect them to upgrade their modules for 1.x.

@terebentina best way to do this is to look at the downloads page here http://prebid.org/download.html and choose the select Prebid version dropdown to 1.31. as of right now, spotx isnt listed on this page. I would suggest reaching out to them and getting an ETA

[terebentina]

Oh, sure, I am even checking master every other day :) Great work with 1.x, btw! IndexExchange isn't there either so I was thinking that maybe you have more insider news for other modules, like with IE, above.

We are actively working with IndexExchange and others (Criteo) to get official support for Prebid 1.x soon. Thanks for your patience.

@mkendall07 it's not your fault they are being slow. We're just waiting now before we can upgrade. There is no major rush though.

Index has their own HB wrapper, so they may slow down intentionally. Also prebid 1.x architecture requires bid request to be a valid XHR with JSON response, so index has to change their server solution as well, same goes for criteo.

Anyway, @cwbeck, you can apply just a few changes to existing adapter to make it work in prebid 1.x

1. callBids method is passing addBidResponse callback that can be used instead of bidmanager.addBidResponse.
2. placementCode should be replaced with adUnitCode
3. bidResposne objects should contain all (newly) required properties: ttl,currency, netRevenue, creativeId, you can hardcode those on your own risk.
