Dynamic Ad Insertion pod serving live API

AI-generated Key Takeaways

The Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI) API allows requesting and tracking DAI livestreams and is accessed via https://dai.google.com.
The stream method is used to register a DAI pod serving livestream session and returns a Stream object with stream details and verification information.
Various methods exist to retrieve stream segments, HLS/DASH manifests, and metadata, including pod segment, HLS pod manifest, DASH pod manifest, DASH pod period template, and Ad pod timing metadata.
The API includes methods for media verification using a URL from the stream endpoint and for retrieving ad metadata to build a UI.
Several API objects like Stream, PodMetadata, Ad, and AdBreak are used to represent stream sessions, metadata, ads, and ad breaks, along with objects for verification, rendering, and companion ads.

The Dynamic Ad Insertion API lets you request and track DAI livestreams.

Method: stream

Methods
`stream`	`POST /ssai/pods/api/v1/network/{network_code}/custom_asset/{custom_asset_key}/stream` Registers a DAI pod serving livestream session.

HTTP request

POST https://dai.google.com/ssai/pods/api/v1/network/{network_code}/custom_asset/{custom_asset_key}/stream

Path parameters

Parameters
`network_code`	`string` The publisher's Google Ad Manager network code.
`custom_asset_key`	`string` The custom identifier associated this event in Google Ad Manager.

Request body

The request body is of type application/x-www-form-urlencoded and contains the following parameters:

Parameters
DFP Targeting Parameters	Optional	Additional targeting parameters.
Override Stream Parameters	Optional	Override default values of a stream creation parameter.
HMAC Authentication	Optional	Authenticate using an HMAC-based token.

Response body

If successful, the response body contains a new Stream object.

Open Measurement

The DAI API contains information for Open Measurement verification in the Verifications field. This field contains one or more Verification elements that list the resources and metadata required to execute third-party measurement code in order to verify creative playback. Only JavaScriptResource is supported. For more information, see the IAB Tech Lab and the VAST 4.1 spec.

Method: pod segment

Methods
`pod segment`	`GET /linear/pods/v1/seg/network/{network_code}/custom_asset/{custom_asset_key}/{pod_identifier}/profile/{profile_name}/{segment_number}.{segment_format}` Creates a DAI stream for the given event ID.

HTTP request

GET https://dai.google.com/linear/pods/v1/seg/network/{network_code}/custom_asset/{custom_asset_key}/{pod_identifier}/profile/{profile_name}/{segment_number}.{segment_format}

Path parameters

Parameters

HTTP request

GET https://dai.google.com/linear/pods/v1/adv/network/{network_code}/custom_asset/{custom_asset_key}/pod.json

Path parameters

Parameters
`network_code`	`string` The publisher's Google Ad Manager network code.
`custom_asset_key`	`string` The custom identifier associated with this livestream in Google Ad Manager.

Query parameters

Parameters
`stream_id`	Required	`string` The Ad Manager stream ID from the client video player app.
`ad_break_id`	required	`string` The next upcoming ad break ID. Ad break IDs are provided by the Stitching server or VTP, and must match across early ad break notifications, ad pod timing metadata requests, and segment redirect requests for the same ad break. The following restrictions apply to custom adbreak IDs: Must be between 1 and 63 characters long Must contain only lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens. The ad break id `preroll` is reserved to retrieve the preroll ad pod. It cannot be used to identify any other ad pod.
`auth-token`	required	`string` The `auth-token` consists of an HMAC token with the following parameters: `ad_break_id` `custom_asset_key` `exp` `network_code` `custom_params` `pd` `scte35`
`timeout`	optional	`integer` The number of milliseconds that DAI can block this request to wait for ad decisioning. Use this parameter on requests that must return populated ads on the first request, such as pre-roll ad breaks. If timeout is exceeded, the request returns a status of pending. If included, the timeout value must be between 1000 and 15000 milliseconds. If omitted, responses are not delayed to wait for ad decisioning.
`final`	optional	`boolean` Set to `true` to indicate to DAI that this is the last request the VTP is willing to make for this ad pod. If an ad decision isn't available yet (by the optional timeout), DAI will return slate permanently for this request. Defaults to `false`.
Ad decisioning parameters Note: Send the same values for these parameters in each request that contains the same ad break ID. If you omit or change these values in subsequent requests, Google Ad Manager will ignore the changed variables and use only the values received on the initial request.
`pd`	optional	`integer` The duration of the ad break (in milliseconds). Also referred to as ad pod duration. Important: This value is only optional if the default ad break duration value has been configured in the Ad Manager UI. If neither value has been set, the request will result in a `400` error. If EABN is used, the pd value must match the duration provided in your ad break notification. If the durations don't match, the EABN value will be given priority.
`cust_params`	optional	`string` Custom parameters for ad break targeting, as described in the Ad Manager Help Center.
`scte35`	optional	`string` A base64-encoded SCTE-35 signal. If the signal is invalid, a message will be sent in the `X-Ad-Manager-Dai-Warning` HTTP header of the response and the request will be sent without the invalid scte35 value.

Response body

If successful, the response body contains a new AdPodTimingMetadataResponse object.

Method: media verification

After encountering an ad media identifier during playback, immediately make a request using the media_verification_url obtained from the stream endpoint, above. These requests aren't necessary for server-side-beaconing streams, where the server initiates media verification.

Requests to the media verification endpoint are idempotent.

Methods
`media verification`	`GET /{media_verification_url}/{ad_media_id}` Notifies the API of a media verification event.

HTTP request

GET https://{media-verification-url}/{ad-media-id}

Response body

media verification returns the following responses:

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content if media verification succeeds and all pings are sent.
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found if the request can't verify the media due to incorrect URL formatting or expiration.
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found if a previous verification request for this ID succeeded.
HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict if another request is already sending pings at this time.

Ad media IDs

Ad media identifiers will be encoded in a separate metadata track — timed metadata for HLS transport stream, or emsg for mp4 files. Ad media identifiers will always begin with the string google_.

The entire text contents of the metadata entry should be appended to the ad verification URL prior to making each ad verification request.

Method: metadata

The metadata endpoint at metadata_url returns information used to build an ad UI. The metadata endpoint isn’t available for server-side-beaconing streams, where the server is responsible for initiating ad media verification.

Methods
`metadata`	`GET /{metadata_url}/{ad-media-id}` `GET /{metadata_url}` Retrieves ad metadata information.

HTTP request

GET https://{metadata_url}/{ad-media-id}

GET https://{metadata_url}

Response body

If successful, the response returns an instance of PodMetadata.

Parsing Metadata

Metadata has three discrete sections: tags, ads, and ad breaks. The entry point into the data is the tags section. From there, iterate through the tags and find the first entry whose name is a prefix for the ad media ID found in the video stream. For example, you might have an ad media ID that looks like:

google_1234567890

Then you find a tag object named google_12345. In this case, it matches your ad media id. Once you find the correct ad media prefix object, you can look up ad ids, ad break ids, and the event type. Ad ids are then used to index the ads objects and ad break ids are used to index the breaks objects.
