You can retrieve information about venues in Vistar’s SSP by accessing a JSON file in a shared s3 bucket. This allows you to independently launch open exchange campaigns without needing support from Vistar or publishers prior to each campaign’s launch. The venue drop JSON file helps you to understand how much inventory qualifies based on your set targeting, how many impressions you can traffic, what creative sizes you need to provide, and much more.
The JSON file that contains the venue data is dropped in an s3 bucket (s3://vistarmedia-3p-inventory/production/inventory.json) and is refreshed on a daily basis to ensure that the information is up-to-date. Here's an example of the correct command to run to access the file :
aws s3 cp s3://vistarmedia-3p-inventory/production/inventory.json inventory.json
