Amazon DSP: ContentURL & AmazonAdBot

To ensure inApp traffic eligibility to be monetized through AmazonDSP, publishers must ensure that they publicly accessible webpages replicating the content of the app's page running the auction.

Since July 2026, AmazonDSP asks all oRTB inApp traffic to give them a mean to scan the content of the App's page on which the ad will be displayed for brand safety purposes. For more information please refer to https://adbot.amazon.com/

Complying with these requirements, ensures:

• Continued access to Amazon demand — inventory that AmazonAdBot can verify will remain eligible for the full pool of Amazon advertisers.

• Brand safety compliance — Amazon must verify content suitability before serving advertiser campaigns.

 "content": {
   "url": "https://publishersite.com/article/12345"
 }
}

Allow AmazonAdBot to access content pages

Please make sure that AmazonAdBot can access content pages by reviewing your site's configuration:

• robots.txt

  • Remove any disallow or crawl-delay rules for: User-agent: AmazonAdBot

  • And an explicit Allow rule for pages where ads appear

• If you use bot protection tools (e.g. Cloudflare, Akamai, AWS WAF, CAPTCHA):

  • Allow requests from:

    • User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; AmazonAdBot/1.0; +https://adbot.amazon.com)

    • Source IPs: Listed here

    • Ensure the reverse DNS resolves to an amazonadbot.com subdomain

  • For paywalled content, ensure AmazonAdBot has access to content pages for verification
