There are many other pieces of metadata missing here. Please add deals_supported, fpd_supported, etc. The whole list is at https://docs.prebid.org/dev-docs/bidder-adaptor.html#submitting-your-adapter

It would be nice if you could update the other adkernel docs as well. thanks!

I don't see a PR for a server-side adapter.

I guess PR for PBS isn't required for aliased adaptor

@bretg metadata has been updated for all related aliases

Thanks - publishers will appreciate all the extra detail. But... PBS does require server-side work. Am trying to get that documentation posted.

In the meantime, none of these aliases support pbs. Please set them all to false unless there's an actual adapter code file or a hard-coded alias.

In other words, if you send a request to PBS with a bidder code of "adbite", the server has no idea that it's linked to the "adkernel" adapter code. Yes, a request from Prebid.js could contain ext.prebid.aliases to define a request-time mapping, but that wouldn't work for AMP or App. In order to claim a given bidder is supported on PBS, there needs to be a hard-coded alias so PBS has reserved that bidder code and links it to the actual coded adapter.

[bretg]

Here's how to create hard-coded aliases:

PBS-Go - see how this is done for verizonmedia which is an alias of yahoossp

1. Create a yaml file - e.g. static/bidder-info/adbite.yaml
2. Copy the “core” bidder json schema - e.g. static/bidder-params/adbite.json
3. Add it to the bidders.go file
4. Add a few line of code mapping the alias to the adapter in https://github.com/prebid/prebid-server/blob/master/exchange/adapter_builders.go . e.g. openrtb_ext.BidderAdBite: adkernel.Builder

PBS-Java

1. Just add the aliases to your https://github.com/prebid/prebid-server-java/blob/master/src/main/resources/bidder-config/adkernel.yaml file

adapters:
  adkernel:
    aliases:
      adbite:
        enabled: false
      adomega:
        enabled: false

(Note: the PBS-Go team will someday make hard-coded aliases as easy as PBS-Java.)

@bretg Thank you for the clarification. I've marked all affected adapters as non-pbs for now. Will do mentioned pbs alias changes as standalone PR.
