Data & Keyword Passing

Segment Targeting

AppLovin MAX SDK version 12.6.0 introduces a privacy-safe way to target waterfalls. The APIs introduced in this version target by means of a generic key-value numeric pairing method. You are responsible for mapping the segment key and the applicable value(s) that represent the users you are targeting

For example, you could establish segments that represent the genres that a user is interested in. You could represent these segments with the key number 849.

Genre values might include “horror”, “thriller”, and “romance”. You could represent these by the the values of 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

The following code shows how you would add a user to the horror and romance genre segments, if you defined your keys and values in that way:

Objective-C

ALSdkInitializationConfiguration *initConfig = [ALSdkInitializationConfiguration configurationWithSdkKey: «SDK-key» builderBlock:^(ALSdkInitializationConfigurationBuilder *builder) {
  builder.mediationProvider = ALMediationProviderMAX;
  builder.segmentCollection = [MASegmentCollection segmentCollectionWithBuilderBlock:^(MASegmentCollectionBuilder *builder) {
    [builder addSegment: [[MASegment alloc] initWithKey: @(849) values: @[@(1), @(3)]]];
  }];
}];
⋮
[sdk initializeWithConfiguration: initConfig completionHandler:^(ALSdkConfiguration *sdkConfig) { …

Swift

let initConfig = ALSdkInitializationConfiguration(sdkKey: "«SDK-key»") { builder in
  builder.mediationProvider = ALMediationProviderMAX
  builder.segmentCollection = MASegmentCollection { segmentCollectionBuilder in
    segmentCollectionBuilder.add(MASegment(key: 849, values: [1, 3]))
  }
}
⋮
sdk.initialize(with:initConfig) { sdkConfig in …

Content URL Passing

AppLovin recommends that you pass your app content URL when you make ad requests. It allows for buy-side contextualization or review. Some DSP buyers may require it. You pass this URL in the bid request.

The following code snippets show how you pass your app content URL when you make an ad request:

Objective-C

Banner Ad

self.bannerAd = [[MAAdView alloc] initWithAdUnitIdentifier: @"«ad-unit-ID»"];
[self.bannerAd setExtraParameterForKey: @"content_url" value: @"«value»"];

Interstitial Ad

self.interstitialAd = [[MAInterstitialAd alloc] initWithAdUnitIdentifier: @"«ad-unit-ID»"];
[self.interstitialAd setExtraParameterForKey: @"content_url" value: @"«value»"];

MREC Ad

self.mrecAd = [[MAAdView alloc] initWithAdUnitIdentifier: @"«ad-unit-ID»" adFormat: MAAdFormat.mrec ];
[self.mrecAd setExtraParameterForKey: @"content_url" value: @"«value»"];

Native Ad

self.nativeAdLoader = [[MANativeAdLoader alloc] initWithAdUnitIdentifier: @"«ad-unit-ID»"];
[self.nativeAdLoader setExtraParameterForKey: @"content_url" value: @"«value»"];

Rewarded Ad

self.rewardedAd = [MARewardedAd sharedWithAdUnitIdentifier: @"«ad-unit-ID»"];
[self.rewardedAd setExtraParameterForKey: @"content_url" value: @"«value»"];

Swift

Banner Ad

let bannerAd = MAAdView(adUnitIdentifier: "«ad-unit-ID»")
bannerAd.setExtraParameterForKey("content_url", value: "«value»")

Interstitial Ad

let interstitialAd = MAInterstitialAd(adUnitIdentifier: "«ad-unit-ID»")
interstitialAd.setExtraParameterForKey("content_url", value: "«value»")

MREC Ad

let mrecAd = MAAdView(adUnitIdentifier: "«ad-unit-ID»", adFormat: MAAdFormat.mrec)
mrecAd.setExtraParameterForKey("content_url", value: "«value»")

Native Ad

let nativeAdLoader = MANativeAdLoader(adUnitIdentifier: "«ad-unit-ID»")
nativeAdLoader.setExtraParameterForKey("content_url", value: "«value»")

Rewarded Ad

let rewardedAd = MARewardedAd.shared(withAdUnitIdentifier: "«ad-unit-ID»")
rewardedAd.setExtraParameterForKey("content_url", value: "«value»")

Unified Identifiers

You can pass UID2 tokens in the bid stream. Buyers use these tokens to target and accurately bid on app inventory. You are responsible for tokenizing and for passing the token to AppLovin. The code examples below show how you pass the tokens:

Objective-C

ALSdkSettings *settings = [ALSdk shared].settings;
[settings setExtraParameterForKey: @"uid2_token" value: @"«value»"];

Swift

let settings = ALSdk.shared()?.settings
settings?.setExtraParameterForKey("uid2_token", value: "«value»")
