# Using Additional Sub IDds

As explained in the [Using Sub Ids documentation](/publishers/sites-and-zones/subids.md), Sub Ids are used by Publishers to segment traffic. For example, they might do this by traffic source. This information will then be displayed in the **Statistics** tab, in the **Sub IDs** sub-tab.

As well as this, there are two more parameters that are essentially the exact same as `sub` overall: `sub2` and `sub3`.

## Examples

### Asynchronous ad zones: Banners, Sticky Banners, Instant Messages, Outstream Ads and Mutli-Formats

Added `data-sub` = XXXXXX, `data-sub2` = XXXXXX and `data-sub3` = XXXXXX

```html
<script async type="application/javascript" src="https://ads.examplesite.com/ad-provider.js"></script>
<ins class="adsbynetwork" data-zoneid="1234567" data-sub="XXXXXX" data-sub2="XXXXXX" data-sub3="XXXXXX"></ins>
<script>(AdProvider = window.AdProvider || []).push({"serve": {}});</script>
```

### iFrames

Added `&sub`= XXXXXX, `&sub2`= XXXXXX and `&sub`3= XXXXXX

```html
<iframe src="//a.examplesite.com/iframe.php?idzone=1234567&size=300x250&sub=XXXXXX&sub2=XXXXXX&sub3=XXXXXX" width="300" height="250" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>
```

### Native

Added as `data-ad_sub= "XXXXXX"; data-ad_sub2 = "XXXXXX"; data-ad_sub3 = "XXXXXX";`

```
data-ad_sub= "XXXXXX";
data-ad_sub2 = "XXXXXX";
data-ad_sub3 = "XXXXXX";
```

### RTB

Added in `ext` object as `&sub=XXXXXX, &sub2=XXXXXX, &sub3=XXXXXX`

```json
{
   "id": "d4b5c697-41f3-4c1c-a3d5-5fd01b5ef2aa",
   "imp": [
       {
           "id": "974090632",
           "banner": {
               "w": 300,
               "h": 250
           }
       }
   ],
   "site": {
       "id": "12345",
       "domain": "sitedomain.com",
       "cat": ["IAB25-3"],
       "page": "https://sitedomain.com/page"
   },
   "device": {
       "ua": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.63 Safari/537.36",
       "ip": "131.34.123.159",
       "geo": {
           "country": "IRL"
       },
       "language": "en",
       "os": "Linux & UNIX",
       "js": 0,
       "ext": {
           "remote_addr": "131.34.123.159",
           "x_forwarded_for": "",
           "accept_language": "en-GB;q=0.8,pt-PT;q=0.6,en;q=0.4,en-US;q=0.2,de;q=0.2,es;q=0.2,fr;q=0.2"
       }
   },
   "user": {
       "id": "57592f333f8983.043587162282415065"
   },
   "ext": {
       "sub": 1221,
       "sub2": 2222,
       "sub3": 3333
   }
}
```

These parameters could be used to segment the traffic even more. However, unlike sub, this won’t be displayed in the **Sub IDs** sub-tab of the **Statistics** tab. However, we do register them internally. The only way to get the data for these metrics is through the [API Global Routes for Publishers](https://api.exoclick.com/v2/docs/#!/47statistics/post_statistics_publisher_global).

Here are two examples of how the request should look in order to pull data from sub2 and sub3 respectively:

### Grouping by sub2 and sub3

```json
{
  "count": 0,
  "detailed": 0,
  "timezone": "Europe/Dublin",
  "totals": 1,
  "filter": {
    "date_from": "2019-11-07",
    "date_to": "2019-11-07",
    "zone_id": [
      1234567
    ]
  },
  "group_by": [
    "sub2",
    "sub3"
  ],
  "order_by": [
    {
      "field": "impressions",
      "order": "desc"
    }
  ],
  "projection": [
    "base"
  ],
  "limit": 25,
  "offset": 0
}
```

### Filtering and grouping by sub2 and sub 3

```json
{
  "count": 0,
  "detailed": 0,
  "timezone": "Europe/Dublin",
  "totals": 1,
  "filter": {
    "date_from": "2019-11-07",
    "date_to": "2019-11-07",
    "sub": [
      10001
    ],
    "sub2": [
      10002
    ],
    "sub3": [
      10003
    ],
    "zone_id": [
      1234567
    ]
  },
  "group_by": [
    "sub2",
    "sub3"
  ],
  "order_by": [
    {
      "field": "impressions",
      "order": "desc"
    }
  ],
  "projection": [
    "base"
  ],
  "limit": 25,
  "offset": 0
}
```

**Note**: It is only possible to group in two dimensions. If you you want to group by `sub`, you will need to remove either `sub2` or `sub3`. Otherwise, the response will generate an error.

```json
{
  "message": "Request `group_by` data is invalid."
}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.exoclick.com/publishers/sites-and-zones/additional-subids.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
