Chartboost

This article is for publishers who want to use the DT FairBid SDK to load and display Chartboost ad inventory via the DT FairBid Mediation platform.

Chartboost supports the following ad types:

  • Banner
  • Interstitial
  • Rewarded 

Note

DT FairBid SDK 3.45 or later supports Chartboost Banners.

To integrate Chartboost as DT mediated network:

Step 1. Retrieve Chartboost Parameters

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

  • Create an ad location for your app in Chartboost.

To set up Chartboost as a DT mediated network, locate the following Chartboost parameters:
