# Overview
## What is Epsilon Retail Media?
Epsilon Retail Media is a scalable, auction-based advertising platform. Built for e-commerce retailers to easily integrate into, the API keeps you in full control of how, when, where and how often ads are shown.

Using first party sales data sourced directly from the retailer, Epsilon Retail Media delivers targeted, relevant and personalised ad content to the retailer's e-commerce server in the form of a product code every time a new page is loaded.
The Epsilon Retail Media API makes it possible for you (the retailer) to place advertisements on your e-commerce website. Once you have defined the advertising placements on your website, they become available for advertisers to bid on.
To explain it simply, Epsilon Retail Media allows advertisers to create advertising campaigns that are displayed on each retailer's e-commerce website. Advertisers bid to promote their products at the top of a retailer's website, and can track the performance of their products in real time.
Our user-friendly admin portal allows advertisers to select products, budgets, advertising strategies and search terms for the products they want to appear at the top of the retailer’s e-commerce page.

## 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://help.citrusad.com/retail-media-interface/integration/getting-started/overview.md?ask=&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.
