  • Patent number: 11743348
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for processing requests for digital components. A method includes receiving a request from a client device for a digital component generated by a first SDK installed at a client device, examining data fields of the request by servers, generating real-time requests by the servers, and transmitting each real-time request to a third-party digital component provider by the servers. The method further includes receiving responses to the real-time requests from the third party digital component provider by the servers, selecting a particular response to transmit to the client device responsive to the request for the digital component by the servers, and transmitting the particular response to the first SDK with instructions specifying which SDK installed at the client device is required to render a digital component included in the particular response by the servers.
