Overview

An end point is a URL that you can request which will return a response.

In the header bidding world, an end point is usually called from the browser with parameters (size of placement, auction id, callback function, etc) and returns a response containing an ad information (ad url, price, etc).

Requests to end points are usually made using GET or POST HTTP requests.

Examples
