Before You Begin

Before integrating Chartboost into DT FairBid, ensure that you have Chartboost inventory:

Locating Chartboost Parameters

When adding Chartboost as a mediated Ad Network with DT, provide the following parameters from your Chartboost account:

CHARTBOOST PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
Named Location Allows you to show different ad campaigns at different points in your game and fine-tune campaign behaviors.
APP ID The unique ID of your app in the Chartboost system.
APP SIGNATURE The unique secret signature of your app in the Chartboost system. Chartboost uses it to verify that you are the owner of your app. Make sure not to share it with anyone unauthorized.
User ID The unique ID of your account user on the Chartboost dashboard.
User Signature The unique secret signature of your account user in the Chartboost Dashboard. Chartboost uses it to verify that you're allowed to access account analytics. Make sure not to share it with anyone unauthorized.

Once you locate the indicated Chartboost parameters, copy and store these parameters in a text file so that you can reference these values when you add the network to your app in the DT Console. Once you finish adding the network in the DT Console, delete the text file.

To obtain the Chartboost parameters for DT:

  1. From the Chartboost dashboard, click Monetization.
  1. Select your app.
  1. Under App information, copy the APP ID and APP SIGNATURE to a text file to use later when adding this network to your app.

  1. Log in to the DT Console, and click App Management.
  1. Create a mediated network in FairBid using the Chartboost parameters.
