Cruxo

Cruxo is a retail-media platform. Register a Cruxo account as a sponsored-products provider with "platform": "cruxo" in config, and the rest of config is read against Cruxo’s contract.

Cruxo names its parameters differently per account, so most of this config records the names your account uses. Your Cruxo contact supplies every value here.

config options

Field	Required	Default	Meaning
platform	Yes	—	"cruxo"
base_url	Yes	—	Base URL of your Cruxo endpoint
service_path	Yes	—	The path segment Cruxo serves this account on
domain	Yes	—	The domain Cruxo knows this storefront by
area	Yes	—	The Cruxo area this account serves, such as search
size	Yes	—	Cruxo’s format name for this account, such as product. A name, not a count.

use_page	No	true	Whether the page number is sent along with the request

    "name": "Cruxo — example.com search",
    "config": {
      "platform": "cruxo",
      "base_url": "https://ads.example-cruxo.io",
      "service_path": "retail",

      "area": "search",
      "size": "product",

      "aliases": { "site": "outpost", "cdomain": "cdom", "size": "fmt" }
    }
  }'

Cruxo does not authenticate its callers, so a Cruxo provider is normally registered without credentials.

Aliases

aliases accepts site, cdomain, viewId, random, layout, size, keyword and mid.

A renamed parameter is sent only if you name it. site, cdomain, viewId, random, layout and size are omitted from the request entirely when they are absent from aliases — so a Cruxo account that expects site under its own name gets no domain at all until that entry is there. keyword and mid are always sent, under their alias when you give one and under their standard name otherwise.

Positions

position_path decides whether Cruxo’s own positions are used. With it, they are honoured. Without it, positions are not read, no fixed-position pinning happens, and sponsored results are only promoted within ranking.

A placement’s max_placements_pin above 0 does nothing unless position_path is set.
