IndexExchange vs ix

[bretg]

For PBJS 1.0, IndexExchange changed the name of their PBJS adapter to ix.

This is causing compatibility issues with calling PBS via the prebidServerBidAdapter. Two specific issues:

1. 'ix' isn't recognized on the Prebid Server side
2. the siteId parameter is defined on the client side, but the server expects siteID

@prebid/indexexchange - let us know if you're working on this or have any input as to a preferred solution.

In the meantime, we discussed this issue today and propose to copy the existing 'IndexExchange' Prebid Server adapter and make two changes:

1. name the new adapter ix
2. have the new adapter accept siteId rather than siteID

A few related tickets redirect here... so linking these comments for visibility:

• 'ix' unsupported bidder in prebid server. Prebid.js#3044 (comment)
• Fix #2851 - updates in prebidServerBidAdapter to support ix bidder Prebid.js#2916 (comment)

I've heard nothing about this personally... but technically, according to the docs we don't even support 0.x anymore: http://prebid.org/dev-docs/bidders.html

So at this point it should be safe to just make the breaking change and rename the Index adapter to ix.

Seems that they are working on it on their fork: indexexchange@aeb02bb

This has been merged & should be resolved now.
