Native Ads

Native ads are video or interactive ads that appear within the context of the user experience, such as in-feed sponsored content.

Identifying Native Ad Inventory

In a bid request, a value of 1 for the imp.native attribute indicates that the ad is a Native Ad. The Native object specifies the supported version and asset types.

Specifying Native Ads in a Bid Response

DT accepts Native Ad videos using the VAST protocol. Your bid response should use the VAST version requested by the publisher and include the necessary tracking and creative elements. Native Ads should follow the exact specification of the video protocol or API framework passed in the bid request. The DT SDK Video Player provides the following video player elements for Native Ads:

• Skipability: Native Ads are non-skippable, and no Skip button is presented to the user.

• End Card Behavior: End cards do not apply to Native Ads.

• Orientation: DT has no orientation restrictions and abides by app and device settings.

Closing Native Ads

Device users cannot close Native Ads, and DT does not present a button to close the ad. Custom close functions are not supported.
