## Description

**Playstream Media** Prebid.js adapter supports **banner** and **video** demand using an **OpenRTB 2.x** request/response flow.

The adapter sends a **POST** request to:

- `https://<host>/server/adserver/hb?adUnitId=<adUnitId>&publisherId=<publisherId>`

> Note: `host` should be a hostname only (no protocol, no path). The adapter uses HTTPS.
>
> Note: `getUserSyncs()` currently returns an empty array (no user sync pixels are triggered by this adapter).

## Required Params

Playstream Media client-side Prebid.js adapter requires only:

- `host`
- `adUnitId`
- `publisherId`
- `type`

## Supported Media Types

This adapter supports only:

- `banner`
- `video`

It does **not** support `native` or `audio`.

## First Party Data and User IDs

- **FPD (First Party Data):** When available, the adapter forwards `bidderRequest.ortb2` and impression-level `bidRequest.ortb2Imp` into the OpenRTB request (`site/app/user/device/regs/ext`).
- **User IDs:** If your Prebid build includes User ID modules, their EIDs typically appear under `ortb2.user.ext.eids` and are forwarded in the OpenRTB request.

## Privacy Support Notes

- **TCF-EU (GDPR):** If Prebid populates consent into `ortb2.regs` / `ortb2.user.ext.consent`, the adapter forwards it.
- **USP/CCPA & COPPA:** If these signals are present in `ortb2.regs` (or related fields), they will be forwarded as part of the OpenRTB request.

## schain Support

If the `schain` module is enabled in Prebid, the adapter forwards supply chain information in the OpenRTB request (typically `source.ext.schain`).
