Doubleclick AdExchange is rolling out to ALL PUBLISHERS their enhanced Inventory Controls. They will be announcing the full roll-out date soon.
Watch the video to find out more about AdExchange’s Inventory Controls for publishers:
As a result of this update, there will be changes in their reporting. All publishers will now access the AdExchange Query Tool to serve as their reporting tool. Read more details here: What is the New Ad Exchange Query Tool?
These changes in AdX will pose a few differences in some of their features. Check out the pointers below to guide you in your transition:
- For those publishers using ad units, hidden ad units will not be transitioned.
- “Empty” channels (those without any ad units targeted) will not be transitioned.
- Saved Performance Reports will not be transferred to Ad Exchange Query Tool. Here’s How to Use the Ad Exchange Query Tool. Take the opportunity to create these reports.
- Post-transition, the new URL for AdX is www.google.com/adx. Please bookmark this new URL, and begin using after your transition.

Nice, But how can I use AdExchange seller API instead of DFP API
Hi Pramod,
If you have a direct Ad Exchange account, you should ask your Google rep for access to the AdX seller API. If you have an Ad Exchange account via MonetizeMore, you can get an API key from support@monetizemore.com.
