We can surface Trade desk Images and Videos that originated from various ad servers. In order to do this, you will need to connect the dv360 ad account to have a minimum of ad trafficking permission along with read-only access to ads and creatives on the CM360 side.

We also parse the VAST tags within Trade desk api responses to retrieve the assets to have them available on vidmob platform for creative analytics and scoring.

Connection Flow

To successfully connect on the vidmob platform, the user connecting the ad account must have at least one of the following roles: (Please be sure the email address with the below permissions is the same email address you use to access Creative Studio.)

  1. Read Only

  2. Standard

  3. Admin

To create a long-lived API token, use the interactive UI experience available through the Manage API Tokens option under the User Profile menu at the top-right of the Developer Portal. For more information, check out this detailed Trade desk help article.

Important Note: The long-lived token is sensitive information. Treat it like a password and do not share it with unauthorized personnel.


Step 1: Sign in to VidMob - Creative Studio

Step 2: Go to “Organizations” > “App Store” > click on “The Trade Desk” card

Step 3: Click Connect and Input the “Long lived” API Token

Note: Vidmob only utilizes a client’s ad account access to be able to download media and metrics. This allows our tool to show you how creative elements in those ads are impacting performance.

Step 4: After entering your credentials, select the Partner and Advertisers you want to retrieve data

Note: Don’t forget to click Save!


To disconnect an ad account, press the "Disconnect" button provided on the account's card.

Then confirm by clicking "Disconnect" once more.
