Integrate DT Exchange with Mediation

This guide shows you how to use the Google Mobile Ads SDK to load and display ads from DT Exchange using mediation, covering waterfall integrations. It covers how to add DT Exchange to an ad unit's mediation configuration and how to integrate the DT Exchange SDK and adapter into an Android app.

Supported integrations and ad formats

The mediation adapter for DT Exchange has the following capabilities:

Integration
Bidding
Waterfall
Formats
Banner
Interstitial
Rewarded
Native

Requirements

  • Android API level 21 or higher

Step 1: Set up configurations in DT Exchange UI

Add new app and ad placement

Sign up or log in to DT Exchange Console.

Click on the Add App button to add your app.

Manage Apps

Select your Platform, fill out the rest of the form, and click Add Placements.

Enter a name for the new placement in the field labeled Name your Placement and select your desired Placement Type from the dropdown list. Finally, click Save Placement.

Setup

App ID and Placement ID

Open the left navigation bar by hovering your mouse over it. Then click Apps from the left menu.

Menu

On the App Management page, take note of the App ID next to your app.

App ID

Select your app, navigate to the Placements tab, and click on the copy icon next to Placement Name. Take note of the Placement ID.

Placement ID

Publisher ID, Consumer Key and Consumer Secret

Click on your username from the left menu and select User Profile.

User Profile Menu

Take note of the Publisher ID, Consumer Key, and Consumer Secret as these are needed in the next step.

User Profile

Step 2: Set up DT Exchange demand in Ad Manager UI

Configure mediation settings for your ad unit

Sign in to your Ad Manager account.

Navigate to Delivery > Yield groups and click the New yield group button.

Enter a unique Name for your yield group, set the Status to Active, select your Ad Format, and set the Inventory type to Mobile App. Under the Targeting > Inventory section, select the ad unit under Inventory and Mobile application to which you want to add mediation.

Next, click the Add yield partner button.

If you already have a Yield partner for DT Exchange, you can select it. Otherwise, select Create a new yield partner.

Select DT Exchange as the Ad network, enter a unique Name and enable Mediation.

Turn on Automatic data collection, and enter the Publisher ID, Consumer Secret and Consumer Key obtained in the previous section.

Once the Yield partner is selected, choose Mobile SDK Mediation as the Integration type, Android as the Platform, and Active as the Status. Enter the Application ID and Placement ID obtained in the previous section. Then, enter a Default CPM value.

Click Save at the bottom of the page when done.

Add DT Exchange (Fyber Monetization) to GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list

Follow the steps in GDPR settings and US state regulations settings to add DT Exchange (Fyber Monetization) to the GDPR and US state regulations ad partners list in the Ad Manager UI.

Step 3: Import the DT Exchange SDK and adapter

In your app-level build.gradle.kts file, add the following implementation dependencies and configurations. Use the latest versions of the DT Exchange SDK and adapter:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:23.5.0")
    implementation("com.google.ads.mediation:fyber:8.3.3.0")
}

Manual integration

  • Download the latest version of the DT Exchange SDK for Android and add the following files to your project:
    • ia-mraid-kit-release-x.y.z.aar
    • ia-sdk-core-release-x.y.z.aar
    • ia-video-kit-release-x.y.z.aar
  • Navigate to the DT Exchange adapter artifacts on Google's Maven Repository. Select the latest version, download the DT Exchange adapter's .aar file, and add it to your project.

Step 4: Implement privacy settings on DT Exchange SDK

Under the Google EU User Consent Policy, you must ensure that certain disclosures are given to, and consents obtained from, users in the European Economic Area (EEA) regarding the use of device identifiers and personal data. This policy reflects the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When seeking consent, you must identify each ad network in your mediation chain that may collect, receive, or use personal data and provide information about each network's use. Google currently is unable to pass the user's consent choice to such networks automatically.

DT Exchange contains an API that lets you forward user consent to their SDK. The following sample code shows how to pass consent information to the DT Exchange SDK manually. Should you choose to pass consent information to the DT Exchange SDK manually, it is recommended that this code is called prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

Java

import com.fyber.inneractive.sdk.external.InneractiveAdManager;
// ...

InneractiveAdManager.setGdprConsent(true);
InneractiveAdManager.setGdprConsentString("myGdprConsentString");

Kotlin

import com.fyber.inneractive.sdk.external.InneractiveAdManager
// ...

InneractiveAdManager.setGdprConsent(true)
InneractiveAdManager.setGdprConsentString("myGdprConsentString")

Visit DT Exchange's GDPR Resource Page and their GDPR implementation guide for more details and the values that may be provided in the method.

US states privacy laws

US states privacy laws require giving users the right to opt out of the "sale" of their "personal information" (as the law defines those terms), with the opt-out offered through a prominent "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on the "selling" party's homepage. The US states privacy laws compliance guide offers the ability to enable restricted data processing for Google ad serving, but Google is unable to apply this setting to each ad network in your mediation chain. Therefore, you must identify each ad network in your mediation chain that may participate in the sale of personal information and follow guidance from each of those networks to ensure compliance.

DT Exchange contains an API that lets you forward user consent to their SDK. The following sample code shows how to pass consent information to the DT Exchange SDK manually. Should you choose to pass consent information to the DT Exchange SDK manually, it is recommended that this code is called prior to requesting ads through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

Java

import com.fyber.inneractive.sdk.external.InneractiveAdManager;
// ...

InneractiveAdManager.setUSPrivacyString("myUSPrivacyString");

Kotlin

import com.fyber.inneractive.sdk.external.InneractiveAdManager
// ...

InneractiveAdManager.setUSPrivacyString("myUSPrivacyString")

Visit DT Exchange's CCPA Resource Page and their CCPA implementation guide for more details and the values that may be provided in the method.

Step 5: Add required code

No additional code is required for DT Exchange integration.

Step 6: Test your implementation

Enable test ads

Make sure you register your test device for Ad Manager.

Verify test ads

To verify that you are receiving test ads from DT Exchange, enable single ad source testing in ad inspector using the DT Exchange (Waterfall) ad source(s).

Optional steps

Network-specific parameters

The DT Exchange adapter supports additional request parameters that can be passed to the adapter as an Android Bundle. The adapter looks for the following keys in the bundle:

Request parameters and values
InneractiveMediationDefs.KEY_AGE Integer. The age of the user
FyberMediationAdapter.KEY_MUTE_VIDEO Boolean. Mute or unmute video

Here's a code example of how to set these ad request parameters:

Java 

Bundle extras = new Bundle();
extras.putInt(InneractiveMediationDefs.KEY_AGE, 10);
extras.putBoolean(FyberMediationAdapter.KEY_MUTE_VIDEO, false);

AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
   .addNetworkExtrasBundle(FyberMediationAdapter.class, extras)
   .build();

Kotlin 

var extras = Bundle()
extras.putInt(InneractiveMediationDefs.KEY_AGE, 10)
extras.putBoolean(FyberMediationAdapter.KEY_MUTE_VIDEO, false)

val request = AdRequest.Builder()
   .addNetworkExtrasBundle(FyberMediationAdapter::class.java, extras)
   .build()

Error codes

If the adapter fails to receive an ad from DT Exchange, you can check the underlying error from the ad response using ResponseInfo.getAdapterResponses() under the following class:

com.google.ads.mediation.fyber.FyberMediationAdapter

Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the DT Exchange adapter when an ad fails to load:

Error code Reason
101 DT Exchange server parameters configured in the Ad Manager UI are missing/invalid.
103 The requested ad size does not match a DT Exchange supported banner size.
105 DT Exchange SDK loaded an ad but returned an unexpected controller.
106 Ad is not ready to display.
200-399 DT Exchange SDK returned an error. See code for more details.
