Vungle OpenRTB 2.5 EndCard Integration

Use these instructions to run end cards with Vungle. In this article:

Overview

  • End card size: Vungle provides device height and width in the bid response. Although there is no size limit for end cards, RTB buyers should respect device height and width, and respond with appropriate end cards.
  • Processing priority: We prioritize processing companion ads in the following order:
    1. static, 2. HTML.
  • URL: download_url (Required): your app download URL.
  • Click tracking when using HTML end card: Vungle is unable to track clicks for HTML end cards, and the click callback is not fired when RTB buyers use the HTML end card. Vungle only provides a container, and all the assets come from RTB buyers.

Supported Resource Types

Vungle supports full-screen end cards with the following formats:

End Card Resource Type Notes

Implement End Cards

In the VAST response, inside the <CompanionAds> element, define at least one <Companion> node with the desired resource file information for the end card. The resource file can be of type <AdParameters>, <StaticResource>, or <HTMLResource>.

AdParameters

This tag is defined by Vungle. With AdParameters, Vungle parses the elements provided by the third-party bidder in the <CompanionAds> node and assembles the end card using our internal templates. Refer to the following example.

Important Note: When using AdParameters, partners must specify their intent to run an end card by declaring <Companion id = "vungle_endcard_v1"> in the <CompanionAds> node.

Sample Code

<CompanionAds>
    <Companion id = "vungle_endcard_v1">   // must specify ID = "vungle_endcard_v1" Required
        <AdParameters xmlEncoded="true">
            <![CDATA[
