can GMA give me creative and lineitem IDs?

[Eric Slosser]

When I request ads with GPT, the response headers include 'google-creative-id' and 'google-lineitem-id'. 

When I request ads with GMA, I'd like the same two fields, but don't see how.

The GADBannerView passed to my GADBannerViewDelegate's `adViewDidReceiveAd:` has a GADResponseInfo attached to it, but that object doesn't contain the fields.

TIA,

Eric

Hi Eric,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

With regard to your concern, in GMA it only helps you on showing ads from the ad inventory while in GPT in response it returns information with this following fields. As you can see here for GMA response info or GAM response info they are the same for debugging and logging purposes, successfully loaded ads provide a GADResponseInfo object. If you plan to have the two fields shown also in GMA, kindly provide us a business case so that we can check if this can be applied on GMA.

We would like to use these 2 fields for internal reporting and debugging.

Hello,

We also have the same business use case where we need the line item id and the creative id for internal reporting.

Do you have any update on this ?

Thanks,

Hi Eric and Shaheel,

Thanks for raising your interests to us. The Google Mobile Ads SDK is used for both AdMob and Ad Manager, and GADResponseInfo only provides information that's valid from both ad server. We are analyzing this feature request, but cannot guarantee to build it.

Please let us know if you have any issue or concern of Ad Manager reporting system.

Best,
Jill

Hi GMA team, 

Is this feature anywhere in the roadmap for future versions?  This will be helpful for a lot of use cases.

Hi Arvind,

We recently released some beta ResponseInfo APIs that can help you analyse the ad source. https://developers.google.com/ad-manager/mobile-ads-sdk/android/response-info (The iOS guide is still under work). 

Unfortunately we don't have a way to expose "creative ID". We don't have such property.

Thanks,

[Eric Slosser]

Renewing this request. 

WRT "Unfortunately we don't have a way to expose "creative ID". We don't have such property.":

The property is in the response headers, you can see it with ProxyMan or Charles. 

I think all that remains is for the GMA-SDK to pass it to GADResponseInfo (the response-info you mention above).

Hi GMA team,

We'd love to have this feature as well.

Best regards.

I just logged a feature request with GMA tech support.

For others who share my interest in having this feature:

My workaround is to include a custom 'adRequestID' KVP in every ad-request.

I report the same value to my analytics (e.g. Embrace, Datadog, etc) pipe.
