DFP Header Bidder Manual Integration

Do go through the steps in our Getting Started Guide to add Media.Net SDK into your project before starting the integration of Header Bidder for DFP.

Header bidding SDK version support for different SDKs

The minimum version of the following SDK needs to be installed to your project before you can start with the Header Bidder integration.

• Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK 7.x.x
• mopub-ios-sdk 4.x.x

Manual integration of Header-bidding in DFP

Addition of manual bids is possible in DFP. The helper methods are available in MNetHeaderBidder.h. The following examples illustrate how manual HB can be performed in both Banner and Interstitial DFP ads.

Example for Manual Header Bidding for DFP Banner Ad

Objective-C

#import <MNetAdSdk/MNetHeaderBidder.h>

// Configure the DFPBannerView with the adunit Id and the size
DFPBannerView *dfpBannerView = [[DFPBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeBanner];
[dfpBannerView setAdUnitID:DEMO_DFP_AD_UNIT_ID];
[dfpBannerView setRootViewController:self];
[dfpBannerView setDelegate:self];

// Setup the request
DFPRequest *request = [DFPRequest request];

// This needs to be set only if you have any custom targetting params
// This is completely optional
[request setCustomTargeting:@{@"targetKey": @"targetValue"}];

// Perform Manual Header Bidding
[MNetHeaderBidder addBidsToDfpBannerAdRequest:request
                               withAdView:dfpBannerView
                         withCompletionCb:^(NSObject *modifiedRequest, NSError *error)
{
    if(error){
        NSLog(@"Error when adding bids to request - %@", error);
    }

    // Even if adding the bids fails, you'll always get the request in the completion callback
    GADRequest *dfpRequestObject = (GADRequest *)modifiedRequest;
    [dfpBannerView loadRequest:dfpRequestObject];
}];

Swift

let dfpRequest:DFPRequest = DFPRequest.init()
dfpRequest.customTargeting = [
    "targetKey": "targetValue"
]

let dfpBannerAdView = DFPBannerView.init(adSize: kGADAdSizeBanner)
dfpBannerAdView.adUnitID = DemoConstants.DEMO_DFP_AD_UNIT_ID
dfpBannerAdView.delegate = self
dfpBannerAdView.rootViewController = self

MNetHeaderBidder.addBids(toDfpBannerAdRequest: dfpRequest, withAdView: dfpBannerAdView, withCompletionCb: { (modifiedRequest, error) in
    if((error) != nil){
        NSLog("Error when adding bids to request - " + (error?.localizedDescription)!)
    }

    let dfpRequestObject:GADRequest = modifiedRequest as! GADRequest
    dfpBannerAdView.load(dfpRequestObject)
})

Example for Manual Header Bidding for DFP Interstitial Ad

Objective-C

#import <MNetAdSdk/MNetHeaderBidder.h>

// Configure the DFPInterstitial with the adunit Id and the size
DFPInterstitial *dfpInterstitialAd = [[DFPInterstitial alloc] initWithAdUnitID:DEMO_DFP_HB_INTERSTITIAL_AD_UNIT_ID];
[dfpInterstitialAd setDelegate:self];

// Setup the request
DFPRequest *request = [DFPRequest request];

// This needs to be set only if you have any custom targetting params
// This is completely optional
[request setCustomTargeting:@{@"targetKey": @"targetValue"}];

// Perform Manual Header Bidding
[MNetHeaderBidder addBidsToDfpInterstitialAdRequest:request
                                         withAdView:dfpInterstitialAd
                                   withCompletionCb:^(NSObject *modifiedRequest, NSError *error)
{
    if(error){
        NSLog(@"Error when adding bids to request - %@", error);
    }

    // Even if adding the bids fails, you'll always get the request in the completion callback
    GADRequest *dfpRequestObject = (GADRequest *)modifiedRequest;
    [dfpInterstitialAd loadRequest:dfpRequestObject];
}];

Swift

let dfpRequest:DFPRequest = DFPRequest.init()
let dfpInterstitialAdView = DFPInterstitial.init(adUnitID:DemoConstants.DEMO_DFP_HB_INTERSTITIAL_AD_UNIT_ID)
dfpInterstitialAdView.delegate = self

MNetHeaderBidder.addBids(toDfpInterstitialAdRequest: dfpRequest, withAdView: dfpInterstitialAdView, withCompletionCb: { (modifiedRequest, error) in
    if((error) != nil){
        NSLog("Error when adding bids to request - " + (error?.localizedDescription)!)
    }

    let dfpRequestObject:GADRequest = modifiedRequest as! GADRequest
    dfpInterstitialAdView.load(dfpRequestObject)
})

Passing content-link into DFP Header Bidder

Content-link can be sent into the DFPRequest object by setting the contentURL property, which will be picked up by the MNet ad-views to contextualize the ads.

NOTE: this process is equivalent in both Banner and Interstitial ads since the DFPRequest object is the same.

Objective-C

DFPRequest *request = [DFPRequest request];
// Setting the custom contentUrl
[request setContentURL:@"https://my-custom-link.com/contentURL"];

Swift

let request:DFPRequest = DFPRequest.init()

// Setting the custom contentUrl
request.contentURL = "https://my-custom-link.com/contentURL"
