• Appier's bidder ID: 'appier'

var adUnits = [{
	code: '${DFP ad unit ID}', // DFP ad unit id, e.g. '/5044416/300x250_appier_prebid'
	mediaTypes: {
	  banner: {
		sizes: [[300, 250]]  // currently we only support 1 size 
	  }
	},
	bids: [{
	  bidder: 'appier', // Appier's bidder ID
	  params: {
		hzid: '${HZID}' // appier hzid, must be string
	  }
	}]
  },
  ... // other ad units
  ];

2. Specifying Server location

pbjs.setConfig({appier: {'farm': 'tw'}});
