Device Model Service

Mobile devices are categorized by make and model, where make is generally the manufacturer of the device (such as Apple) and model is generally the specific product (such as iPhone). The read-only Device Model Service allows you to see what models of mobile devices are registered in the AppNexus system, as well as the make, device type (phone, tablet, or other device), device screen size, and supported capabilities (such as JavaScript creatives, Flash creatives, cookies) for each model. You can use this service to retrieve this data for targeting in mobile campaigns.

You can target mobile campaigns based on mobile carrier as well. For more details, see the Carrier Service.
