Google AdMob (ex. AdMob) mediation

You can connect to the Boost via Google AdMob (ex. AdMob) mediation. To add the Boost to Google AdMob (ex. AdMob) mediation, follow these steps:

1. Integrate Google AdMob (ex. AdMob) mediation.
2. Connect the adapter for the Yandex Mobile Ads SDK.
3. Create an AdUnitId for your selected ad type in the Boost interface.
4. Add the Boost in the Google AdMob (ex. AdMob) web interface.
5. Sync the ad unit settings between the two web interfaces.

Connecting an adapter for the Yandex Mobile Ads SDK

To integrate the Boost with Google AdMob (ex. AdMob) mediation, add the adapter dependency to the build.gradle file of your project's module:

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.yandex.ads.adapter:admob-mobileads:7.18.5.0'
}

To manually transmit GDPR (user consent) and COPPA (age-restricted user) values from the app code to the Yandex Mobile Ads SDK, make sure to also enable the Yandex Mobile Ads SDK. Add the following to the dependencies block:

implementation "com.yandex.android:mobileads:7.18.7.0"

Adding the Boost in the Google AdMob (ex. AdMob) mediation web interface

For each ad placement (AdMob AdUnitId) in Google AdMob (ex. AdMob) mediation, create a corresponding ad unit (Ad Unit ID) in the Boost interface.

1. Create a Google AdMob (ex. AdMob) ad unit

3. Set up Google AdMob (ex. AdMob) mediation

1. Go to the Yandex Mediation section and click Create mediation group.

2. Select a platform.

3. Set the mediation group parameters, such as name and region, then proceed to adding the ad placement.

4. Select your app, select the ad unit you created, and add it. The ad unit you added should appear in the Ad Units section.

5. The Boost can be added to Google AdMob (ex. AdMob) mediation only as a custom event. Click Add Custom Event to add a custom event. Set up your custom event for each adUnitId created in the Boost interface.

6. Configure a custom event for accessing the Boost by setting the event name and eCPM floor. The eCPM floor value must match the threshold you set for the ad placement in the Boost interface.

7. Set up mapping of the custom event to the Boost adapter:

   • Set the mapping name.
   • Set an adapter class name that corresponds to your selected ad format.
   • Set the event parameters.

   Each ad format has a corresponding Boost adapter class:

   • com.admob.mobileads.YandexBanner for banner ads.
   • com.admob.mobileads.YandexInterstitial for interstitial ads.
   • com.admob.mobileads.YandexRewarded for rewarded ads.
   • com.admob.mobileads.YandexNative for native ads.

   Under Parameter, configure the custom event settings in JSON format. Make sure to set the Ad Unit ID for your selected ad placement.

   For native ads, when connecting to the Boost via Google AdMob (ex. AdMob), you must provide the store/storeView, which is needed to pass the required domain asset. If the storeView isn't registered or displayed, the impression may not be counted. For compact layouts, you can use a separate, single-line TextView without a signature, registered as the storeView.

8. Save the changes.
