The Download ads.txt button is available inside the Channels section, once a specific channel is selected from the list on the left-hand panel.
đź“Ą What It Does
When a user clicks Download ads.txt, the system automatically generates and downloads a .txt file that contains a list of all ads.txt lines associated with the advertisers connected to the sources under the selected channel.
This file follows the IAB ads.txt specification, helping publishers and SSP administrators manage authorized digital sellers and resellers.
đź“„ Example Output
The file includes one line per advertiser per source, structured in the following format:
<domain>, <publisher_account_id>, <relationship_type>, <certification_authority_id>
Example output:
testing.com,267815,reseller
abcdef.com,112345,reseller
example.com,123456,reseller
test.com,133456,reseller,1234567789sdcsad
domain.com,473661,direct,5d62403b186f2ace
⚠️ The values depend on what has been configured on the advertiser side. Some entries may include optional fields like certification IDs, while others may only have the minimum required three fields.
đź—‚ Use Case
This file can be used by the publisher to update the ads.txt file on their domain. By doing so, they authorize the listed advertisers to sell their inventory and increase trust with buyers.
