Documentation and Block Examples

Step 1: Apply for Audience Network

Submit your app to join the network with a few quick steps
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/audience-network

Step 2: Enter your Company Information

Once your app is accepted into Audience Network, you’ll need to provide us with basic information about your company.

In your app’s settings page, click on the Audience Network section located at the bottom left:

If you have an existing company that you registered with Facebook, you can select it here and accept the terms to continue. Otherwise, you can choose Quick Start to enter basic details about your company.

Your app needs to be approved for Audience Network to provide these details. To apply, visit this page If you choose Quick Start, please fill out your account and tax info under the Payout tab. Though integration is possible without these details, ad delivery will pause when your account balance reaches $100.

Step 3: Create Placement IDs

Facebook’s Audience Network offers a few types of ad units: banner, interstitial and native ads through our API. Each placement of an ad unit in your app is identified using a unique placement ID. The first step in adding an ad unit is to create this identifier.

Your app needs to be approved for Audience Network before you can create placement IDs. To apply, visit this page .

In your app’s settings page, click on the Audience Network section. Then, choose the Placements tab and click on the ‘Create Ad placement’ button to create your placement:

Enter a name and an optional description. If the placement will be used for a banner, you can specify the ad refresh interval (please note that if you use a mediation service this option should be set to ‘None’):

Save the Ad Placement and the placement ID will show in the list.

Reporting and ad unit refresh interval are tied to a placement ID. Please make sure to use a different placement ID for each ad unit you show in your app.

Step 4: Incorporate Ad Units in Your App

Once you have the placement ID, follow our iOS and Android specific guides to add the ad units in your app:

Create different placement ID for Banner, Medium Rect and Interstial Ad.

If your Testing don’t forget to enbale Testads. When you are ready to publish, disable Testads.

1- Initialize in first scene. (example in load scene)

2- Show/Hide/Move Ads in your game, load Interstitial ad before showing. Look at the example game, that you can download from here

Before submitting your iOS app to Apple, please see our FAQ regarding answers to IDFA questions in their submission process.

Step 5: Track the Ad Placement Performance

After your app is live with Audience Network, use the Performance dashboards to track revenue estimates and additional metrics like impressions and clicks.

To access the dashboards, in your app’s settings page, click on Audience Network and then choose the Performance tab:

In addition, you can access your performance data via an API. Please see this guide for more info
