AppLovin

The purpose of this article is to guide publishers who want to use the DT FairBid SDK to load and display ads from AppLovin via DT FairBid Mediation.

AppLovin currently supports the following ad types:

  • Banner

    Note

    AppLovin banner heights may vary. Devices with larger screens may receive banners with 90 px height. If the banner must be 50 px in height, contact the AppLovin creative team to resize the banner.

  • Interstitial
  • Rewarded (with Google Play Services version 9.0.2+ integrated in your app)

To integrate AppLovin as a DT mediated network:

Step 1: Retrieve AppLovin Parameters

Before retrieving AppLovin parameters, ensure that you have AppLovin ad unit inventory that you want to mediate with DT. For more information about creating AppLovin inventory, see the following AppLovin articles:

  1. Create an AppLovin account.
  2. Add your app in AppLovin.
  3. Create inventory for your app in AppLovin.

To add AppLovin as a DT mediated network, retrieve the following parameters from your AppLovin account. Store these parameters in a text file for later use in Step 2.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
SDK Key Unique identifier for your AppLovin account. DT uses this key to initialize the AppLovin Adapter for your apps.
Report Key Unique identifier for your AppLovin account for reporting purposes. DT uses this key to import performance data from your AppLovin account.
Bundle ID Unique identifier for your app in the app store.
Zone ID Unique identifier for the AppLovin ad unit you want DT to mediate.

Obtaining the SDK Key and Report Key

To obtain the  SDK Key and Report Key:

  1. On the AppLovin Dashboard, go to Account → General → Keys.
    The SDK Key and Report Key display.

AppLovin Dashboard Keys page

  1. Copy the keys, and store the values in a text file. These values are required later in Step 2 to add AppLovin as a DT mediated network.

Obtaining the Zone ID

To obtain the Zone ID:

  1. On the AppLovin dashboard, go to App Discovery → Monetization → Manage → Zones
    The Zones you created for your app display.

AppLovin Dashboard Zones page

  1. For each zone you want DT to mediate, copy the associated Zone ID, and store the values in a text file. These values are required later in Step 2 to add AppLovin as a DT mediated network.

Step 2: Add AppLovin as a DT Mediated Network

Before you add AppLovin as a mediated network in DT FairBid:

  • Ensure that you have access to parameters you retrieved from AppLovin in Step 1.
  • Add your App to the DT Console.
  • Ensure that you have a DT Placement for each AppLovin Zone you want to mediate with DT.

To add AppLovin as a DT mediated network:

  1. Log in to the DT Console, and click App Management.
  1. Create a mediated network using the AppLovin parameters you retrieved in Step 1, and click Save.

AppLovin parameters for DT integration

  1. Create an ad network instance for each placement you want DT to mediate. Use the AppLovin Zone ID you retrieved in Step 1 as the Instance ID.

Step 3: Add the AppLovin SDK to your Integration

To integrate the AppLovin SDK, follow the instructions on the Supported Networks page.

Step 4: Test Your Integration

Use the DT Test Suite to verify that you have set up your app properly for FairBid mediation. The DT Test Suite is available for Android, iOS, and  Unity apps. For more information about using the DT Test Suite, see Test Suite.
