## Note

Kargo is an invitation-only marketplace.  Please reach out to your Kargo account manager to get setup.  Also, you *must* test on a mobile device, or emulate a mobile device by manipulating the user agent string sent to the server.

## Bidder Settings

The Kargo bid adapter uses browser local storage. Since Prebid.js 7.x, the access to it must be explicitly set.

{% include dev-docs/storageAllowed.md %}

```js
// https://docs.prebid.org/dev-docs/publisher-api-reference/bidderSettings.html
pbjs.bidderSettings = {
  kargo: {
    storageAllowed: true
  }
}
```

## Bid Params

{: .table .table-bordered .table-striped }
| Name | Scope | Description | Example | Type |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `placementId` | required | The placementId of the ad slot. | `'_jWuc8Hks'` | `string` |

## ORTB Blocking

Kargo supports blocking advertisers in `badv` and categories in `bcat` parameters.
The blocked advertisers/categories list has no length limitation, but response timeout is more likely to occur as the number of entries grow.
Blocked advertisers list (`badv`) is an array of domains as strings.
Blocked categories list (`bcat`) is an array of IAB categories as strings.

For example:

### Globally defined ORTB Blocking

```javascript
pbjs.setConfig({
  ortb2: {
    badv: ["domain1.com", "domain2.com"],
    bcat: ["IAB23-1", "IAB23-5", "IAB25-3", "IAB25-2"]
  }
)};
```

### ORTB Blocking specific only to the Kargo bidder

```javascript
pbjs.setBidderConfig({
  bidders: ['kargo'],
  config:{
    ortb2: {
      badv: ["domain1.com", "domain2.com"],
      bcat: ["IAB23-1", "IAB23-5", "IAB25-3", "IAB25-2"]
    }
  }
});
```
