## Step 1: Retrieve BIGO Ads Parameters <a href="#h_01hhey0nd7xmbrv09jamm64gv5" id="h_01hhey0nd7xmbrv09jamm64gv5"></a>

Before retrieving BIGO Ads parameters, ensure that you have BIGO Ads ad unit inventory that you want to mediate with DT. For more information about creating BIGO Ads inventory, see the following BIGO ADS articles:

* [Create](https://www.bigossp.com/register) a BIGO Ads account.
* Add your app to BIGO Ads.
* Create placement (Ad Slots) for your app. Ensure that you specify the appropriate **Auction Type**:
  * **Waterfall** for traditional Waterfall
  * **Server Bidding** for SDK Bidding

To set up BIGO Ads as a DT mediated network, locate the following BIGO Ads parameters:

| BIGO ADS PARAMETER | DESCRIPTION                                       |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `App ID`           | The unique ID of your app in the BIGO Ads system. |
| `Ad Slot ID`       | The unique ID of your ad placement in BIGO Ads.   |

### Obtaining the App ID <a href="#h_01hgfnv21sgwbe7knqrwav42hy" id="h_01hgfnv21sgwbe7knqrwav42hy"></a>

1. Log in to your [BIGO Ads Dashboard](https://www.bigossp.com/login), and click **Apps and Sites**.
2. Locate your app.

3. Copy the `APP ID` for your app, and store the value in a text file. This value is required later in [Step 2](#h_01HMBMW7WQ5T73CWB3J56GETEV) to add BIGO Ads as a DT mediated network.

### Obtaining the Ad Slot ID <a href="#h_01hgfnv21sc9npd1xs40zq35qw" id="h_01hgfnv21sc9npd1xs40zq35qw"></a>

1. On the [BIGO Ads Dashboard](https://www.bigossp.com/login), click **Ad Slots**.\
   A list of ad slots associated with all of your apps displays.
2. For each ad slot you want to mediate with DT, copy the `Ad Slot ID`, and save these values to a text file. These values are required later in [Step 2](#h_01HMBMW7WQ5T73CWB3J56GETEV) to add BIGO Ads as a DT mediated network.

Before you add BIGO Ads as a mediated network in DT FairBid:

* Ensure that you have access to parameters you retrieved from BIGO Ads in [Step 1](#h_01HHEY0ND7XMBRV09JAMM64GV5).
* [Add your App](https://app.gitbook.com/s/LbREhkP3WlLtP6TNVZ2Q/app-management/adding-a-new-app/adding-an-app) using the DT Console.
* Ensure that you [set up a DT Placement](https://app.gitbook.com/s/LbREhkP3WlLtP6TNVZ2Q/app-management/setting-up-an-existing-app/setting-up-placements) for each BIGO Ads ad type you want to mediate with DT.

To add BIGO Ads as a DT mediated network:

1. Log in to the [DT Console](https://console.fyber.com/), and click **App Management**.
2. [Set up](https://app.gitbook.com/s/LbREhkP3WlLtP6TNVZ2Q/app-management/setting-up-an-existing-app/setting-up-mediated-networks) **BIGO Ads** or **BIGO Ads Bidder** as a mediated network using the parameters you retrieved in [Step 1](#h_01HHEY0ND7XMBRV09JAMM64GV5).

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><img src="https://2654615282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F4IftQ9WUOy9feTA5sZeE%2Fuploads%2FxYguvr40HHQ7F7vHCD5Q%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=c204c860-5309-4cd7-895f-f31313ce5dac" alt=""></div>
