Help with integrating corona ads (missing header data)

techdojo · December 7, 2016, 2:14pm

Hi all - I’m trying to get Corona ad’s setup and I’m running into a few issues and I’d appreciate any help getting my code up and running.

I’ve followed the example in the docs and if I use the test api key in the examples I get active ad’s showing and hiding correctly (this is using the new live build feature to dev on the device)

If I replace the test key with my own api key I do get a single static ad (but only during the current live server session) - If I compile and put the build on my device then I get nothing (but the following log output in the simulator console window.

I noticed from looking through the log that there was a specific url mentioned

https://monetize-api.coronalabs.com/v2/ad.json?api\_key=\<\<snip\>\>&placement=bottom-banner-320x50

and if visit that then I can see the following JSON data

{“status”:“fail”,“message”:“Device-Info header is missing”,“data”:null}

Any idea what I’m doing wrong or what header data is missing (and how to specify it?)

Thanks (in advance) for any help you can provide on this.

Regards

I’ll move this to the Corona Ads forum and see if I can get someone from that team to look at it for you.

Hi techdojo,

So after analysing the log you have pasted to me looks like this is just issue with your FAN fill rate. With recent Facebook Audience Network policy they do not show test ads to debug app on device and actual ads are only available once you release build in app store.

Things you can do -

Change waterfall on dashboard and set few other things [AdX, Mobfox] or something else so that you can see some other ads.
If you can not do that we will help you do that asap.

To clear your doubt with “https://monetize-api.coronalabs.com/v2/ad.json?api_key=<<snip>>&placement=bottom-banner-320x50” call , this call will not work on the browser as we set a Device-Info header through client code which is a must for this call to give a success response.

Thanks for the feedback - I’ve looked at my Corona ad’s dashboard and I can’t see anything to do with changing the “waterfall” as you mentioned.

I’d initially disabled the Chartboost and AdColony integration as I wanted to make a simple example - I noticed some tutorial code with regards supporting multiple ad networks to improve fill rate - I’m guessing this is what you’re talking about here?
