Mediation management

  • The AdMob API allows programmatic management of your AdMob Mediation setup, including creating and updating mediation groups, adding ad sources, and defining ad unit mappings.

  • You can use the API to create apps, link them to app stores, add ad units, and establish ad unit mappings for your desired waterfall ad sources.

  • Mediation groups enable geo-targeting and management of waterfall ad sources with associated ad unit mappings, including updating ad sources, mappings, and eCPM values.

  • The API provides access to information on ad sources and adapters, facilitating the creation of ad unit mappings and overall setup for programmatic mediation management.

The AdMob API lets you manage your AdMob Mediation setup programmatically. You can create and update mediation groups, add ad source instances, and provide the ad unit mappings to enable calls to multiple third-party networks.

The following activities are available through the AdMob API and UI.

With the AdMob API you can:

  • Create apps, link them to app stores, and add ad units.
  • Create ad unit mappings for all of the waterfall ad sources you want included in your setup.
  • Create a mediation group with geo targeting and waterfall ad sources with their associated ad unit mappings.
  • Update a mediation group's ad sources, ad unit mappings, and eCPM values.

A mediation group can have many ad source instances, each having their own ad unit mapping. For instance, mediation group A could have the following lines:

  • Ad source B with eCPM $10 and ad unit mapping b
  • Ad source C with eCPM $8 and ad unit mapping c
  • Ad source D with eCPM $6 and ad unit mapping d

The hierarchy of objects and maps is as follows:
