Retrieving Information about the Ad Response

For more detailed debugging and logging, such as programmatically obtaining an ad response identifier for blocking ads, successfully loaded ads provide a GADResponseInfo object. This contains information about the ad that was loaded. On interstitial ads for example, this information is obtained via the responseInfo property.

Response info properties

Properties of the GADResponseInfo object include:

adNetworkClassName

The class name of the ad network that fetched the current ad. Values that can be returned from this property include:

Ad Source	Class name
Google Ads	Value of GADGoogleAdNetworkClassName
Rewarded Custom events	Your custom event's class name
All other custom events	Value of GADCustomEventAdNetworkClassName
Mediation	The mediation adapter's class name

Sample code

Here is a sample snippet from a GADBannerViewDelegate callback implementation:

Swift

func adViewDidReceiveAd(_ bannerView: GADBannerView) {
  print("adViewDidReceiveAd from network: \(bannerView.responseInfo?.adNetworkClassName)")
}

Objective-C

- (void)adViewDidReceiveAd:(GADBannerView *)adView {
  NSLog(@"adViewDidReceiveAd from network: %@", adView.responseInfo.adNetworkClassName);
}
