Content IDs data source

Use the IDs data source type when you already know which content items to show and can pass their content IDs to the SDK (for example, after catalog ingest and ranking in your backend).

ID-based delivery is valid but adds integration and maintenance complexity. Before you commit to this path, talk to the WSC Sports team. When labels or free text can express the same selection, prefer those data source types instead.

See Labels data source, Labels mechanism, and Free text search. For explicit personalization patterns that use ranked content IDs, see Explicit personalization.
