Module: Scope3 Real-Time Data #4397

bokelley · 2025-06-12T17:31:15Z

Summary

This PR adds a new Scope3 Real-Time Data (RTD) module that integrates Scope3's audience segmentation API with Prebid Server to provide enhanced targeting capabilities.

Features

Fetches real-time audience segments from Scope3 API during auction process
Integrates with LiveRamp ATS for enhanced user identification (both sidecar and envelope support)
Adds targeting data to auction response for GAM integration
Thread-safe segment storage using module context
Configurable timeout and endpoint settings
Graceful error handling that doesn't fail auctions

Implementation Details

The module implements three hook stages:

Entrypoint: Initialize module context with segment storage
Raw Auction Request: Fetch segments from Scope3 API using bid request data
Auction Response: Add segments to response for publisher control

LiveRamp Integration

Supports both LiveRamp ATS deployment scenarios:

With Sidecar: Uses decrypted RampID when available
Without Sidecar: Forwards encrypted ATS envelope for server-side decryption

as a potential module user, i would strongly prefer these also came back in bid.meta so i could decie if i want to send them togam or somewhere else and also how i format them if i do send them to gam. This could always happen in addition or be some sort of toggle

eg

prebid-server/adapters/teads/teads.go

Line 161 in 6acbc9f

RendererName: bidExtTeads.Prebid.Meta.RendererName,

right but since we're not bidding that probably isn't the right spot? I changed it so by default it goes to response.ext.scope3.segments but if you add add_to_targeting: true it will add to the targeting list for GAM. does that make sense?

I think that location works, and you raise a good point, we need your result back even on a non-bid event. @bsardo any thoughts on the best place?

@gravelg so this should be /prebid/rtii?

Yes I've made that endpoint

Would it be reasonable to unmarshal bidRequest.User.Ext to a custom structure, like

type UserExt struct { eids *[]openrtb2.EID rampId string live ramp_idl string }

Unmarshalling in a struct now

@VeronikaSolovei9 I've taken over this PR from Brian. Addressed all your comments, let me know if there's anything else!

+		var userExt userExt
+		if err := json.Unmarshal(bidRequest.User.Ext, &userExt); err == nil {
+			// Include LiveRamp identifiers
+			for _, eid := range *userExt.Eids {


In case there are no Eids in user.ext this line of code throws Null Pointer Exception, because in userExt Eids declared as a pointer:

type userExt struct { Eids *[]openrtb2.EID `json:"eids"` ... }

Is there a reason why Eids is a pointer?
I modified it locally to "Eids []openrtb2.EID json:"eids"" and it now can gracefully handle empty list and skip the for loop without throwing the exception. .

Nitpick: var userExt userExt - please give a name to the variable different from the structure name, like var userExtension userExt.

Totally an oversight! I've corrected the pointer and variable names. Let me know if there's anything else!

This exact unmarshal operation was performed just a few lines earlier in createCacheKey. It would be preferable to only do this once.

Can you add test coverage for these blocks?

Added a couple of tests for this
