Creating a datastream to collect data from Integral Ad Science

The basics of creating a datastream to collect data from any data source are explained in our guide to Creating a datastream. This guide contains information about the specific steps to create a datastream to fetch data from Integral Ad Science.

Authorization: Allow Adverity to access Integral Ad Science

  1. If you choose Access using your credentials or Access using someone else's credentials, in Set up or edit Teams, you or the person granting access must choose one of the following options:

    • Choose Grant access to all Teams, including those created in the future to allow Adverity to access all existing Teams and all Teams created in the future.

    • Choose Select specific Teams to which you want to grant access to determine the specific Teams that you want Adverity to access. Adverity will not automatically have access to Teams created in the future. You will need to grant Adverity access to any Teams created in the future.

    If you use your credentials to grant Adverity access to Integral Ad Science, all the Teams available to you using your credentials will be visible in the Authorizations page to all Adverity users with permission to edit this authorization.

    If someone else uses their credentials to grant Adverity access to Integral Ad Science, the same applies to the Teams available using their credentials.

    This is important to consider if you do not want all Adverity users with permission to edit the authorization to be able to see the details of the Teams. For more information about user permissions, see Managing user permissions.
