Prebid Server is an open source implementation of Server-Side Header Bidding. It is managed by Prebid.org, and upholds the principles from the Prebid Code of Conduct.

This project does not support the same set of Bidders as Prebid.js, although there is overlap. The current set can be found in the adapters package. If you don't see the one you want, feel free to contribute it.

For more information, see:

• What is Prebid?
• Getting started with Prebid Server

First install Go 1.11 or later and dep. Note that dep requires an explicit GOPATH to be set.

export GOPATH=$(go env GOPATH)
mkdir -p $GOPATH

Then download and prepare Prebid Server:

cd $GOPATH
git clone https://github.com/prebid/prebid-server src/github.com/prebid/prebid-server
cd src/github.com/prebid/prebid-server
dep ensure

Run the automated tests:

./validate.sh

Or just run the server locally:

go build .
./prebid-server
