Struggling with ad issues but can’t figure out what’s wrong?

Troubleshooting ad performance can be tough, especially when it involves understanding how Prebid.js interacts with your ad requests. Without the right tools, finding the problem can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

That’s where Requestly comes in!

Requestly is a browser extension that lets you modify, block, or redirect network requests instantly. With Requestly, you can easily enable Prebid.js debugging logs for your ads.

Solution 1: DIY with Requestly’s Modify Query Param Rule

Here’s how you can set up your own rule in Requestly:

Create a Modify Query Param Rule:

• Install Requestly browser extension.
• Visit the Requestly dashboard.
• Click on New Rule and select Query Param.
• Enter your URL, set pbjs_debug as the parameter name, and true as the value.
• Save the rule

Solution 2: Use a Pre-configured Shared List

For a faster setup, use our pre-configured Requestly shared list that’s ready to enable Prebid.js debugging for nytimes.com ads.

1. Access the Shared List

• Click on this shared list link.

2. Use the Shared List:

• Add the shared list to your Requestly account by opening the link.

How the Rule Works
