Pass/Overwrite "npa" value on every ad request

[Matthew Lu]

Hi Team,

I am using the Android DAI SDK, want to find a way to pass/overwrite the "npa" value

for every ad requests.

I understand we could use "adTagParameters" to overwrite "npa" value when requesting a video,  but after that when requesting ads,  I am not able to see the "npa" value get passed to "https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?ad_rule=1&an=xxxxx&cmsid=xxx&correlator=1050530719017148&cust_params=cxid%3D51f87965-a92b-47ec-8353-xxx"

so is there way to pass/overwrite the "npa" value in every ad request?

I had looked at the below link:

Hello Matthew,

 

Michael here from IMA SDK Team. Thank you for reaching out to us.

 

I believe adTagParameters is the correct way of overriding some of the parameters of your stream request, including the npa value. However, would you be able to share with us the sample project implementation where you are attempting to override the npa value through adTagParameters but is not being reflected after all? Kindly indicate what SDK version you are using for testing, although we highly recommend using the latest version of the SDK. Kindly include the navigation steps to reproduce the behavior on our end. A screen recording / screenshot of the issue will help for better illustration of the problem.

Hi Team,

It's working on the first request after adding "NPA" to  adTagParameters, but all the subsequent requests to ""https://pubads.g.doubleclick.netxxxx" are not seeing the "NPA" value. 

Is it suppose like that or we will have a way to add "npa" to all ""https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net" requests. ?

Hello Matthew,

 

Thank you for your response.

 

I believe the npa value should show up at every request you make (one per vast ad tag). It means, that if you make another ad request call, and set the npa parameter, then it should be reflected and all the ads that will be returned are considered non-personalized.

 

However, to reiterate, should you need us to further investigate the issue, would you be able to share with us the sample project implementation where you are attempting to override the npa value through adTagParameters but is not being reflected after all? Kindly indicate what SDK version you are using for testing, although we highly recommend using the latest version of the SDK. Kindly include the navigation steps to reproduce the behavior on our end.
