Retrieve information about the ad response

Select platform: Android iOS Unity Flutter

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 LoadAdError.GetResponseInfo() .

  private 
  
 void 
  
 LoadInterstitialAd 
 () 
 { 
  
 AdRequest 
  
 adRequest 
  
 = 
  
 new 
  
 AdRequest 
 (); 
  
 InterstitialAd 
 . 
 Load 
 ( 
 " AD_UNIT_ID

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.

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.
