Questions about CreativeID for Ad Unit Received via GMA Mediation Partner

[Michael Zhu]

Hello, I have a couple questions about GMA Adapter Response Info and Creative Id:

Please refer to this documentation for context: https://developers.google.com/ad-manager/mobile-ads-sdk/android/response-info

1. Is it possible to get creative id from ads served via GMA mediation partners? E.g. Unity Ads via GMA mediation? I am observing from my own app that GMA ads do not have a "creativeId" field or anything with a similar spelling.
   
   Knowing the creative Id will help us identify misbehaving ads while working with the partner's support line (who requests the creative id to pinpoint what is going wrong). Getting the creative id and storing it in my logs would really help with this.
2. I see that the AdapterResponseInfo contains two fields called "Ad Source ID" and "Ad Source Instance ID". Could you explain in layman's terms what these fields mean?
   
   I actually can see these fields are populated for me, but the numbers don't seem to correspond to any creative Id that I can match up.
   

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

Thank you for contacting the Mobile Ads SDK support team.

From the mobile ads SDK, it is not possible to retrieve creative ID information through the ad responseInfo property. This is to protect user privacy and prevent developers from identifying specific ads.

• Ad Source ID Gets the ad source ID associated with this adapter response. It's the network you choose. Each network or Ad source would have a unique Ad Source ID.
• Ad Source Instance ID Gets the ad source instance ID associated with this adapter response. Returns an empty string if not filled by a yield group. Just like the Ad source name, we have the Ad Source Instance Name and Ad Source Instance ID. 

 

This message is in relation to case "ref:!00D1U01174p.!5004Q02vEQf8:ref" (ADR-00260593)

Thanks,
 

Mobile Ads SDK Team

Thanks for the clarification!

I am still unclear about meaning of "Ad Source Instance ID" though. Could you elaborate? Is this the id of the yield group that it came from?

[Mobile Ads SDK Forum Advisor]

Hi Michael,

Yes, the Yield group is associated with the Ad Source Instance ID. The Ad Source Instance ID represents the ID of the ad source instance linked to this adapter response. If the yield group does not populate this field, it will return an empty string. For further details, please refer to the documentation on Ad Source Instance ID and Yield Group.
