Intro
The Trade Desk is an online demand-side platform that provides buying tools for digital media buyers. Use Domo's The Trade Desk connector to generate reports about ads, audiences, campaigns, and the like. To learn more about The Trade Desk's API, visit their page (https://api.thetradedesk.com/v3/doc).
You connect to your The Trade Desk account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the The Trade Desk 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.

Best Practices
- It is best to select All Advertisers in the Advertiser Type menu instead of choosing to manually select advertisers. This way, as you add/remove advertisers, the DataSet will dynamically grab those advertisers when it runs in the future. That way you don't have to go back and edit your DataSet after you make changes.
Prerequisites
To connect to your The Trade Desk account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:
-
The username and password for your The Trade Desk account
-
Your The Trade Desk partner ID
If you do not know any of these credentials, please reach out to your The Trade Desk account representative.
Connecting to Your The Trade Desk Account
This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the The Trade Desk 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.
Credentials Pane
This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your The Trade Desk account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Description |
---|---|
Username | Enter your The Trade Desk username. |
Password | Enter your The Trade Desk password. |
Environment | Select whether you are using a production or sandbox environment. |
Partner ID | Enter your The Trade Desk partner ID. |
Once you have entered valid The Trade Desk credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new The Trade Desk DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
