Undocumented methods

[rforster-dev]

We work with SourcePoint and have been adding custom vendors. Using this documented:

__tcfapi('addEventListener', 2, (tcdata, success) => { console.log(tcdata) })

Returns the list of IAB vendors and their status under vendor.consents and if they are <true/false> but not the custom vendors added.

But using say:

function customVendors(data, success) {
    console.log(data, success)
}

// call the __tcfapi() function with callback only
__tcfapi('getCustomVendorConsents', 2, customVendors);

Does return the custom vendors can this be added to the documentation? Are there other methods that are not mentioned in the docs?

Thanks!

This is a SourcePoint-specific implementation and is not part of the TCF specification and is probably not supported by other CMPs

Ah I see, my apologies.

I suppose then there is no scope for this kinda functionality to be part of IABTCF is there?

If not, i'll close this :).

No worries, I just wanted to add some context as I received a notification for your message :)

I'll let somebody from the IAB EU/Tech Lab chime in on whether they want to consider adding support for other features like custom vendors via the __tcfapi function.

This is a custom function that vendor can already add to the tcf api.
