OpenX Launches OpenXBuild Real‑Time AdTech Suite
On 6 January 2026 OpenX announced OpenXBuild, a software suite for brand and agency buyers designed to enable real‑time control over ad performance, reach and insights. OpenXBuild exposes APIs including an Auction Insights API (first feature: BIDS — Bidding Intelligence Data Set), an Identity Resolution API built on OpenX’s proprietary identity graph (covering 237 million US users and 150 million CTV devices), and a Real‑time Bidstream API that lets buyers run their data and decisioning models before the auction. The product targets low‑latency, privacy‑first pre‑auction filtering across CTV, mobile, desktop and apps. tvScientific is cited as an early adopter of the real‑time bidstream API, saying it achieved a reported 70% reduction in cost‑per‑conversion on OpenX traffic.
OpenX launched a suite enabling pre‑auction, low‑latency decisioning and identity resolution across CTV and other channels, which can materially change buyer workflows and ad performance but is not a major platform policy shift.

tvScientific Leverages OpenX APIs for Enhanced Ad Performance
OpenX announced OpenXBuild, a new suite of APIs designed to give advertisers closer control over ad performance by accessing bidstream data and signals. The suite comprises the Auction Insights API (historical bidstream events), the Identity Resolution API (an audience graph for targeting segments), and the Real-Time Bidstream API (real-time custom logic for bidding). tvScientific, a CTV ad-buying startup recently acquired by Pinterest, is testing the Real-Time Bidstream API as a pilot partner, integrating tvScientific’s AI model within OpenX’s infrastructure to achieve closer proximity to supply and improved bid decisions. OpenX CTO Joel Meyer notes that this approach helps quantify impressions by content type, geography, and channel, creating feedback loops to optimize future bids. The discussion also references the IAB Tech Lab’s Agentic RTB Framework and notes that MCPs can enable AI tool integration inside APIs, though bidstream interaction via MCP remains inefficient today.
OpenX Launches OpenXBuild APIs; tvScientific Pilots RTB Access
OpenX announced OpenXBuild, a suite of three API products designed to let advertisers operate closer to programmatic supply and better control ad performance. The suite includes an Auction Insights API (historical bidstream events), an Identity Resolution API (audience graph for segment activation/sales) and a Real-Time Bidstream API (allowing custom logic/models in the bidstream). CTV ad buyer tvScientific, recently acquired by Pinterest, is piloting the Real-Time Bidstream API and has tested running its AI model within OpenX infrastructure to tag and prioritize impressions by content, geography and channel. OpenX executives said the work was inspired in part by the IAB Tech Lab’s Agentic RTB Framework and reflects wider industry interest in containerized, agentic approaches to deploy buyer logic nearer to supply.
OpenX Launches OpenXBuild Bidstream API Suite
OpenX announced OpenXBuild, a suite of three APIs designed to give advertisers closer control and visibility into programmatic bidstream activity. The suite includes Auction Insights (historical bidstream events), Identity Resolution (an audience identity graph for segment activation), and a Real‑Time Bidstream API that lets advertisers deploy custom logic and models inside OpenX infrastructure. Pilot partner tvScientific — a CTV ad‑buying startup recently acquired by Pinterest — is testing the Real‑Time Bidstream API to position its AI model nearer supply for improved tagging and bid decisioning. OpenX says the work was partly inspired by the IAB Tech Lab’s Agentic RTB Framework and reflects growing industry interest in containerized, agentic deployments within bidstream environments. OpenX and tvScientific executives described the approach as a way to increase efficiency and create feedback loops that prioritize similar impressions in future auctions.
