What do I need to do to connect to Xandr Invest?
The first step you must take to begin using the Console API is to contact the Xandr Invest support team to gain access to the API endpoints (customer-support@appnexus.com). In order to be granted access, you must meet the following criteria:
- Be a current Xandr Invest customer with a current Console user ID and member ID. (Xandr Invest Support cannot create a new user to fulfill a request for API access.)
- Be a Network, Network Observer, Advertiser, or Publisher user. Xandr Invest cannot grant API access to Network Advertiser Manager or Network Publisher Manager users.
When you open your Xandr Invest support ticket, use the title "Request for API Access". In the body of the support ticket, include the following information:
- The numeric ID of the user that requires API access.
- The billing name and numeric ID of the member under which that user exists.
The Xandr Invest team cannot grant access to non-Console users. If you are a customer and have non-Console users who would like access to the API, you must contact the Platform Integrations team for your business unit.

Xandr Invest data gets pulled in the US/Mountain Standard timezone.
