Chartboost

This article is for publishers who want to use the DT FairBid SDK to load and display Chartboost ad inventory via the DT FairBid Mediation platform.

Chartboost supports the following ad types:

• Banner

• Interstitial

• Rewarded

DT FairBid SDK 3.45 or later supports Chartboost Banners.

To integrate Chartboost as DT mediated network:

• Step 1: Retrieve Chartboost parameters.

• Step 2: Add Chartboost as a DT mediated network.

• Step 3: Add the Chartboost SDK to your integration.

• Step 4: Test Your integration.

Step 1. Retrieve Chartboost Parameters

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

• Create a Chartboost account.

• Add your app to Chartboost.

• Create an ad location for your app in Chartboost.

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

CHARTBOOST PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
APP ID	Unique identifier for your app in the Chartboost system.
APP SIGNATURE	Unique secret signature for your app in the Chartboost system. Chartboost uses this to verify that you are the owner of your app.
User ID	Unique identifier for your account in the Chartboost dashboard.
User Signature	Uunique secret signature for your user account in the Chartboost Dashboard. Chartboost uses this to verify that you are allowed to access account analytics.
Named Location	Specific points in your app where you allow the display of various ad types.

To obtain the Chartboost parameters for DT:

1. From the Chartboost dashboard, click Monetization.

2. Select your app.

3. Under App information, copy the APP ID and APP SIGNATURE, and save these values to a text file. These values are required later in Step 2 to add Chartboost as a DT mediated network.

1. Click Set up Mediation.

2. Under Authentication, copy the User ID and User Signature, and save these values to a text file. These values are required later in Step 2 to add Chartboost as a DT mediated network.

Step 2. Add Chartboost as a Mediated Network

Before you add Chartboost as a DT mediated network:

• Ensure that you have access to parameters you retrieved from Chartboost in Step 1.

• Add your App using the DT Console.

• Ensure that you set up a DT Placement for each Chartboost ad location you want to mediate with DT.

To add Chartboost as a DT mediated network:

1. Log in to the DT Console, and click App Management.

2. Set up Chartboost as a DT mediated network using parameters you retrieved in Step 1.

1. Set up an ad network instance using the Chartboost Named Location you retrieved in Step 1 for the Instance ID.

Step 3. Add the Chartboost SDK to your DT Integration

To integrate the Chartboost SDK, follow the instructions on the Supported Networks page.

Step 4: Test Your Integration

Use the DT Test Suite to verify that you have set up your app properly for FairBid mediation. The DT Test Suite is available for Android, iOS, and Unity apps. For more information about using the DT Test Suite, see Test Suite.
