# Stack Up RTD Provider

{:.no_toc}

- TOC
{:toc}

## Overview

The Stack Up RTD module enriches Prebid.js bid requests with contextual and audience segments derived from the content of the current page. Before the auction fires, the module calls the Stack Up enrichment API (or reads from a `sessionStorage` cache on revisit) and merges the response into the global `ortb2` fragments:

- **`site.content.data`** — Stack Up Content Taxonomy 1.0 segments (segtax 502): topics, brand-safety signals, and emotion signals attached to the article.
- **`user.data`** — Stack Up Audience Taxonomy 1.0 segments (segtax 501) inferred from contextual signals.

Every bidder that participates in the auction receives these segments in its `ortb2` object. No cookies, fingerprints, or user identifiers are transmitted to the Stack Up API — only a URL path and publisher domain.

Become a member of Stack Up in order to receive your `pubId`. Contact [support@stackup-ai.com](mailto:support@stackup-ai.com) for more details.

## Build

Include the Stack Up RTD module and the core RTD module when building Prebid.js:

```bash
gulp build --modules=rtdModule,stackupRtdProvider
```

Add any bid adapters you use to the same build command:

```bash
gulp build --modules=rtdModule,stackupRtdProvider,appnexusBidAdapter
```

> `rtdModule` is required to use the Stack Up RTD module.

## Configuration

Configure the module inside `realTimeData.dataProviders` via `pbjs.setConfig`.

```javascript
pbjs.setConfig({
realTimeData: {
auctionDelay: 1000,
dataProviders: [
{
name: "stackupRtd",
waitForIt: true,
params: {
pubId: "YOUR-PUB-ID", // required — issued by Stack Up
timeout: 300, // optional — enrichment budget in ms
articleIdMode: "path", // optional — 'path' (default) or 'explicit'
articleId: "", // required when articleIdMode is 'explicit'
apiUrl: "https://api.stackup-ai.com/v1/enrich-ortb-rtd", // optional
cache: {
enabled: true, // optional — disable all cache read/write when false
ttlSeconds: 3600, // optional
storage: "session", // optional — 'session' (default) or 'memory'
},
debug: false, // optional
},
},
],
},
});
```

### Parameters

{: .table .table-bordered .table-striped }
| Name | Scope | Type | Description | Default |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :--- | :---: |
| `name` | required | String | Must be `'stackupRtd'` | — |
| `waitForIt` | recommended | Boolean | Set `true` when an `auctionDelay` is defined | `false` |
| `params` | required | Object | Module configuration object | — |
| `params.pubId` | required | String | Publisher ID issued by Stack Up | — |
| `params.timeout` | optional | Integer | Max ms to wait for the enrichment API before releasing the auction | `300` |
| `params.articleIdMode` | optional | String | How the article ID is determined. `'path'` derives it from the page URL; `'explicit'` uses `params.articleId` directly | `'path'` |
| `params.articleId` | optional\* | String | Article identifier — required when `articleIdMode` is `'explicit'`. Max 512 characters | — |
| `params.apiUrl` | optional | String | Override the Stack Up enrichment endpoint | `'https://api.stackup-ai.com/v1/enrich-ortb-rtd'` |
| `params.cache.enabled` | optional | Boolean | Enable/disable cache usage entirely | `true` |
| `params.cache.ttlSeconds` | optional | Integer | How long a cached result is considered fresh (sessionStorage TTL) | `3600` |
| `params.cache.storage` | optional | String | Cache backend: `'session'` for browser sessionStorage or `'memory'` for in-process cache | `'session'` |
| `params.debug` | optional | Boolean | Enable verbose `[stackupRtd]` console logging | `false` |
| `params.debugDomain` | optional | String | Override the domain sent to the API when `debug: true` | page domain |

## Article ID Resolution

### `articleIdMode: 'path'` (default)

The module normalises the current page URL path using Prebid's built-in referer detection (works inside iframes and AMP frames). The normalisation strips trailing slashes, AMP path variants (`/amp/`, `/_amp/`, `/amp` suffix), and double slashes. The resulting path is sent to the API and is also used as the `sessionStorage` cache key so cache hits are consistent across AMP and canonical URLs for the same article.

### `articleIdMode: 'explicit'`

Pass a stable, opaque article identifier directly in `params.articleId`. Use this when you have a CMS-issued slug or numeric ID that is more stable than the URL.

## Caching

When `params.cache.enabled` is `true` (default), the module checks cache before making a network call.

With `params.cache.storage: 'session'` (default), the result is written to `sessionStorage` under the key:

```text
stackup:enrich:v1:path_<hash>
```

With `params.cache.storage: 'memory'`, entries are kept in runtime memory only and are cleared on full page reload.

On subsequent page views within the same session the cache is read instead of calling the API, keeping enrichment latency at ~0 ms. Cache entries expire after `params.cache.ttlSeconds` (default 1 hour). Setting `params.cache.enabled: false` disables both reads and writes.

## Consent

The module respects user consent before making any network requests:

- **COPPA**: if `coppa: true` is set, the module is inert.
- **GDPR**: when GDPR applies, the module requires consent (or legitimate interest) for **Purpose 1** (Store/access information on a device) and **Purpose 4** (Select personalised content). If either purpose is missing, or if `vendorData` is absent (e.g. CMP timeout), the module does nothing.
- **USP / CCPA / GPP**: not enforced — the Stack Up API receives only a URL path and domain, no user identifiers, so US sale-of-data frameworks do not apply.

## ortb2 Output Shape

After a successful enrichment the following fields are merged into the global `ortb2` object (non-destructively — existing publisher values are preserved):

```json
{
"site": {
"content": {
"id": "<articleId>",
"title": "<article title>",
"data": [
{
"name": "data.stackup-ai.com",
"ext": { "segtax": 502 },
"segment": [
{
"id": "IAB-123",
"name": "Technology",
"ext": { "confidence": 0.95 }
}
]
}
],
"ext": {
"brand_safety": {},
"emotion": {}
}
}
},
"user": {
"data": [
{
"name": "data.stackup-ai.com",
"ext": { "segtax": 501 },
"segment": [
{
"id": "AUD-456",
"name": "Tech Enthusiasts",
"ext": { "confidence": 0.87 }
}
]
}
]
}
}
```

`site.content.ext.brand_safety` and `site.content.ext.emotion` are optional fields populated when the API returns them. Existing publisher values in `ext` are preserved — the module only fills fields that are absent.

## Integration Example

Build Prebid.js with the module:

```bash
gulp build --modules=rtdModule,stackupRtdProvider,appnexusBidAdapter
```

Start a static file server at the [Prebid.js repo root](https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js) on port 9999, then open:

```text
http://localhost:9999/integrationExamples/gpt/stackupRtdProvider_example.html
```

The page runs a real GAM/GPT auction. With `debug: true` in `pbjs.setConfig` the Prebid.js debug console shows the enriched `ortb2` fragments (`site.content.data` and `user.data`) merged into each bid request.
