Use this method to retrieve an array of winning bids.

* `pbjs.getHighestCpmBids()`: with no argument, returns an array of winning bid objects for each ad unit on page
* `pbjs.getHighestCpmBids(adUnitCode)`: when passed an ad unit code, returns an array with the winning bid object for that ad unit

{: .alert.alert-warning :}
Note that from **Prebid 3.0** onwards, `pbjs.getHighestCpmBids` will not return rendered bids.

To pick bids by desirability instead of CPM (for example, when using [`bidDesirabilityAdjustment`](/dev-docs/publisher-api-reference/bidderSettings.html#23-biddesirabilityadjustment)), use [`pbjs.getBestBids`](/dev-docs/publisher-api-reference/getBestBids.html).
