BrightRoll Connector

Intro

BrightRoll by Yahoo! is a video advertising software system. To learn more about the BrightRoll API, visit their page (https://developer.yahoo.com/dsp/api/.../?guccounter=1).

You connect to your BrightRoll account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the BrightRoll connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your BrightRoll account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:

A BrightRoll authorization code
A BrightRoll client ID
A BrightRoll client secret

To generate these credentials, follow these instructions: https://developer.yahoo.com/brightro.../enable_oauth/. You will generate your client ID and client secret in step 4 and your authorization code in step 5.

Connecting to Your BrightRoll Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the BrightRoll Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
