How to set 'Run of network' ad unit in Line Item using DFP API

[Pradeep Sharma]

Hi.

We have id of an ad unit which we can set in Line item. In DFP UI, I can see if user do not select any targeting then by default 'Run of Network' get selected by default. Is there any id of 'Run of Network' as well. If yes how can I see that id as it's not visible in 'Inventory' section. Also how can I set 'Run of Network' in a line item using DFP API v 201411.

Best Regards,

Hi Pradeep,

You'll want to target the network's effective root ad unit, and include descendants. You can get this from the NetworkService.getCurrentNetwork:

So that mean the network's effective root ad Unit id is the Run Of Network id??

Thank you very much for your help Sir !!

Yes, if you target the effective root ad unit and include descendants, it's will target the whole network.
