Check for non-consented vendor calls

[patmmccann]

We'd love to flag non-consented vendors appearing in user syncs and markups. The google additional consent list has a map of domain to gvl id and acl id at https://storage.googleapis.com/tcfac/additional-consent-providers.csv

We will need to generate a chain of network calls initiated by prebid modules (bidders, user-id modules).
The Chrome Network panel helps but we will need to putt extra checks and highlight when a signal is not passed by a partner. The Proff Prebid should not always run this analysis, this flow should be initiated at user request.

Jason is working on generating a chain of network calls initiated in user-sync process to display in the Professor Prebid

Hi @patmmccann @ChrisHuie @pm-harshad-mane (feel free to tag anyone else that you think should be included on this thread as well)

Just created a PR (linked above to this issue ticket) for the first iteration of a tool within Prof Prebid that can generate a chain of network calls that initiate based on a provided user sync URL. Under the hood this tool relies on Chrome's devtools network API. I've created a quick video demonstrating what I've built out so far to make things easier to visualize (the video also explains how to use the tool): https://vimeo.com/835964741

Since this is a POC, I'm definitely expecting feedback, so was curious to see what your thoughts on this are and what the "next steps" might look like. Some known "todo-items" for improvement based on some feedback I have already come across include the following:

• Remove the “refresh” button (but of course keep the functionality to generate the init req chain object in UI.. would seem cleaner and more intuitive without the button).
• Some kind of loading animation would be nice to display while a request chain is generating.
• As of right now, the root url to listen for to generate an init req object from can be any url (there is a form field that accepts any value). In the future I was thinking that maybe we could hardcode just user sync url's within a dropdown select field perhaps? to make this more restricted?

Hi @jlquaccia ,

thanks a lot for your PR! I applied your changes to https://github.com/prebid/professor-prebid/tree/version-0.2.64. I have created a dev-tool-panel in version 0.2.63 and added it directly there:

Let me know what you think please

Hey @florianerl,

No problem! Also, nice! I will take a look soon this week and get back to you.

Hey @florianerl,

Getting around to some more Prof Prebid work this week. Nice, looks good where you put the module I made! Just took a look on the branch that you mentioned above. I'm planning on addressing some changes this week to the Network Inspector module I was working on.. which includes the following:

• removing the "refresh" button (but keeping the functionality and automating it, so the dependency of a button click is not needed)
• some style changes
• add a loading animation while the init request chain is being updated/built

Will update you once I have a new PR ready to be reviewed.

Hi @jlquaccia ,

what do you think of using typescript for src/pages/Devtools/index.js ? Just for the sakes of uniformity?

[jlquaccia]

Hey Florian, Ah, good call out. Yes, I can definitely use TypeScript in that file 👍

Hey @florianerl,

Just submitted a new PR addressing a few things, including converting src/pages/Devtools/index.js to now use TypeScript. Take a look when you have some time. The description on the PR contains more info about the changes I made.
