Intro
Centro (formerly called SiteScout) is the first and largest self-serve advertising platform for buying online banner ad space (in real time) across the web and on mobile devices. They help advertisers and agencies streamline the digital media buying process. For more information about the Centro API, visit their website (https://www.centro.net/products/dsp-...ic-advertising).
The Centro connector is a "Cloud App" connector, meaning it retrieves data stored in the cloud. In the Data Center, you can access the connector page for this and other Cloud App connectors by clicking Cloud App in the toolbar at the top of the window.
You connect to your Centro account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Centro 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.
