Retrieve information about the ad response

For debugging and logging purposes, successfully loaded ads provides a ResponseInfo object. This object contains information about the ad it loaded, in addition to information about the mediation waterfall used to load the ad.

For cases where an ad loads successfully, the ad object has a GetResponseInfo() method. For example, InterstitialAd.GetResponseInfo() gets the response info for a loaded interstitial ad.

For cases where ads fail to load and only an error is available, the response info is available through AdFailedToLoadEventArgs.LoadAdError.GetResponseInfo().

InterstitialAd ad;

private void RequestInterstitial()
{
    ad = new InterstitialAd("ad unit ID");
    this.interstitial.OnAdLoaded += OnAdLoaded;
    this.interstitial.OnAdFailedToLoad += HandleOnAdFailedToLoad;
    AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();
    this.interstitial.LoadAd(request);
}

private void OnAdLoaded(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    ResponseInfo info = ad.GetResponseInfo();
}

private void OnAdFailedToLoad(object sender, AdFailedToLoadEventArgs args)
{
    ResponseInfo info = args.LoadAdError.GetResponseInfo();
}

Methods on the ResponseInfo object include:

Method	Description
`GetAdapterResponses`	Returns the list of `AdapterResponseInfo` containing metadata for each adapter included in the ad response. Can be used to debug the waterfall mediation and bidding execution. The order of the list matches the order of the mediation waterfall for this ad request. See Adapter Response Info for more information.
`GetLoadedAdapterResponseInfo`	Returns the `AdapterResponseInfo` corresponding to the adapter that loaded the ad.
`GetMediationAdapterClassName`	Returns the mediation adapter class name of the ad network that loaded the ad.
`GetResponseId`	The response identifier is a unique identifier for the ad response. This identifier can be used to identify and block the ad in the Ads Review Center (ARC).
`GetResponseExtras`	Beta: This API is in beta. Returned values can change without an SDK release. Returns extra information about the ad response. Extras can return the following keys: `mediation_group_name`: Name of the mediation group `mediation_ab_test_name`: Name of the mediation A/B test, if applicable `mediation_ab_test_variant`: Variant used in the mediation A/B test, if applicable

Here is a sample reading values from a loaded ResponseInfo:

private void OnAdLoaded(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
  ResponseInfo info = ad.GetResponseInfo();

  string responseId = responseInfo.GetResponseId();
  string mediationAdapterClassName = responseInfo.GetMediationAdapterClassName();
  List<AdapterResponseInfo> adapterResponses = responseInfo.GetAdapterResponses();
  AdapterResponseInfo loadedAdapterResponseInfo = responseInfo.GetLoadedAdapterResponseInfo();
  Dictionary<string, string> extras = responseInfo.GetResponseExtras();
  string mediationGroupName = extras["mediation_group_name"];
  string mediationABTestName = extras["mediation_ab_test_name"];
  string mediationABTestVariant = extras["mediation_ab_test_variant"];
}

Adapter response info

AdapterResponseInfo contains metadata for each adapter included in the ad response, which can be used to debug the waterfall mediation and bidding execution. The order of the list matches the order of the mediation waterfall for the ad request.

Here is a sample output returned by AdapterResponseInfo:

For each ad network, AdapterResponseInfo provides the following methods:

Method	Description
`AdError`	Gets the error associated with the request to the network. Returns `null` if the network successfully loaded an ad or if the network was not attempted.
`AdSourceId`	Gets the ad source ID associated with this adapter response. For campaigns, `6060308706800320801` is returned for a mediated ads campaign goal type, and `7068401028668408324` is returned for impression and click goal types. See Ad sources for the list of possible ad source IDs when an ad network serves the ad.
`AdSourceInstanceId`	Gets the ad source instance ID associated with this adapter response.
`AdSourceInstanceName`	Gets the ad source instance name associated with this adapter response.
`AdSourceName`	Gets the ad source representing the specific ad network that serves the impression. For campaigns, `Mediated House Ads` is returned for a mediated ads campaign goal type, and `Reservation Campaign` is returned for impression and click goal types. See Ad sources for the list of possible ad source names when an ad network serves the ad.
`AdapterClassName`	Gets a class name that identifies the ad network.
`AdUnitMapping`	Gets the network configuration set from the Admob UI.
`LatencyMillis`	Gets the amount of time the ad network spent loading an ad. Returns `0` if the network was not attempted.

Here is a sample reading values from a loaded AdapterResponseInfo:

private void OnAdLoaded(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
  ResponseInfo responseInfo = ad.GetResponseInfo();

  AdError adError = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.AdError;
  string adSourceId = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.AdSourceId;
  string adSourceInstanceId = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.AdSourceInstanceId;
  string adSourceInstanceName = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.AdSourceInstanceName;
  string adSourceName = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.AdSourceName;
  string adapterClassName = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.AdapterClassName;
  Dictionary<string, string> credentials = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.AdUnitMapping;
  long latencyMillis = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.LatencyMillis;
