This article is for publishers who want to use the DT FairBid SDK to load and display ads from ironSource via DT FairBid mediation.

ironSource currently supports the following ad types:

  • Banner
  • Interstitial
  • Rewarded

To integrate ironSource as DT mediated network:

Step 1: Retrieve ironSource Parameters

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

  • Create an ironSource account.
  • Add your app to ironSource.
  • Create ad units in ironSource.

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

App Key Unique ID for your app in the ironSource system.
API User Name The User Name for your ironSource account.
Secret Key Unique identifier detailing the relationship between your account and ironSource.
Ad Unit ID Unique identifier for the ad unit you want to mediate in DT FairBid.

Obtaining the App Key

  1. On the ironSource dashboard, go to Apps → App Management.
    A list of your apps display along with the associated App Keys.

  • Ensure that you have access to the parameters you retrieved from ironSource in Step 1.
  • Add your App using the DT Console.
