Retrieve information about the ad response

For debugging and logging purposes, successfully loaded ads provides a ResponseInfo object. This object contains information about the ad it loaded, in addition to information about the mediation waterfall used to load the ad.

For cases where an ad loads successfully, the ad object has a GetResponseInfo() method. For example, InterstitialAd.GetResponseInfo() gets the response info for a loaded interstitial ad.

For cases where ads fail to load and only an error is available, the response info is available through AdFailedToLoadEventArgs.LoadAdError.GetResponseInfo().

InterstitialAd ad;

private void RequestInterstitial()
{
    ad = new InterstitialAd("AD_UNIT_ID");
    this.interstitial.OnAdLoaded += OnAdLoaded;
    this.interstitial.OnAdFailedToLoad += HandleOnAdFailedToLoad;
    AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();
    this.interstitial.LoadAd(request);
}

private void OnAdLoaded(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    ResponseInfo info = ad.GetResponseInfo();
}

private void OnAdFailedToLoad(object sender, AdFailedToLoadEventArgs args)
{
    ResponseInfo info = args.LoadAdError.GetResponseInfo();
}

Here is a sample output returned by ResponseInfo.ToString() showing the debugging data returned for a loaded ad:

Methods on the ResponseInfo object include:

Here is a sample reading values from a loaded ResponseInfo:

private void OnAdLoaded(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
  ResponseInfo info = ad.GetResponseInfo();

  string responseId = responseInfo.GetResponseId();
  string mediationAdapterClassName = responseInfo.GetMediationAdapterClassName();
  List<AdapterResponseInfo> adapterResponses = responseInfo.GetAdapterResponses();
  AdapterResponseInfo loadedAdapterResponseInfo = responseInfo.GetLoadedAdapterResponseInfo();
  Dictionary<string, string> extras = responseInfo.GetResponseExtras();
  string mediationGroupName = extras["mediation_group_name"];
  string mediationABTestName = extras["mediation_ab_test_name"];
  string mediationABTestVariant = extras["mediation_ab_test_variant"];
}

Adapter response info

AdapterResponseInfo contains metadata for each adapter included in the ad response, which can be used to debug the waterfall mediation and bidding execution. The order of the list matches the order of the mediation waterfall for the ad request.

Here is a sample output returned by AdapterResponseInfo:

{
  "Adapter": "com.google.ads.mediation.admob.AdMobAdapter",
  "Latency": 328,
  "Ad Source Name": "Reservation campaign",
  "Ad Source ID": "7068401028668408324",
  "Ad Source Instance Name": "[DO NOT EDIT] Publisher Test Interstitial",
  "Ad Source Instance ID": "4665218928925097",
  "Credentials": {},
  "Ad Error": "null"
}

  Ad Source Instance ID: [DO NOT EDIT] Publisher Test Interstitial
  AdUnitMapping:

For each ad network, AdapterResponseInfo provides the following methods:

Here is a sample reading values from a loaded AdapterResponseInfo:

private void OnAdLoaded(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
  ResponseInfo responseInfo = ad.GetResponseInfo();
  AdapterResponseInfo loadedAdapterResponseInfo = responseInfo.getLoadedAdapterResponseInfo();

  AdError adError = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.AdError;
  string adSourceId = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.AdSourceId;
  string adSourceInstanceId = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.AdSourceInstanceId;
  string adSourceInstanceName = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.AdSourceInstanceName;
  string adSourceName = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.AdSourceName;
  string adapterClassName = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.AdapterClassName;
  Dictionary<string, string> credentials = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.AdUnitMapping;
  long latencyMillis = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.LatencyMillis;
