What is an ad network in the field of digital marketing?

 In the field of digital marketing an ad network is a type of display advertising. It is a platform or service that connects advertisers with the publishers. Publishers are referred to as the people who want to host advertisements on their websites or apps. When hosting these networks act as intermediates which assist in enabling advertisers to reach a wide range of audiences or customers by displaying their ads.

Therefore, adding network marketing allows you to target customers based on demographics, interests, or behavior.

The Ad network mainly has APIs or SDKs that allow advertisers to interact programmatically. For instance, a simple representation of using a hypothetical API may look like this:-

Import requests

# Example: Fetch available ad inventory from an ad network’s API

Def fetch_available_inventory(ad_network_api_key):

    url = ‘https://api.adnetwork.com/inventory’

    headers = {‘Authorization’: ‘Bearer ‘ + ad_network_api_key}

    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

    if response.status_code == 200:

        available_inventory = response.json()

        return available_inventory

    else:

        return None

# Usage: Fetch available inventory using the API key

Api_key = ‘your_api_key_here’

Available_inventory = fetch_available_inventory(api_key)

If available_inventory:

    Print(“Available inventory:”, available_inventory)

Else:

      Print(“Failed to fetch available inventory.”)

This above example showcases how anyone can use an API for fetching the available ad inventory from a hypothetical ad network.

Overall, ad networks enable you to streamline the process of not only buying but selling also. It is here to design a path that is accessible for advertisers to reach their targeted audience across a wide range of regions.
