# Bid Marketplace

The Linkary Bid Marketplace is the discovery surface for public-profile sponsored header inventory.

Marketplace views include Live Auctions, Ending Soon, Most Viewed, Most Bid On, My Bids and Won Auctions. Time views can include 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days and all time.

## Most Viewed

Most Viewed can include all eligible published public Linkary profiles. A profile does not need an active auction to appear.

## Most Bid On

Total valid bids and distinct bidders are separate metrics.

## Identity

My Bids and Won Auctions are associated with the canonical authenticated Linkary user, not whichever profile happens to be selected in the interface.

# 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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://linkary.gitbook.io/linkary-docs/profile-monetization/bid-marketplace.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
