Taku can pull back the data from the mediation network through the API and present it in Taku's various reports, helping developers fully understand the monetization effect of your advertising business. In addition, after the reporting API is enabled, the networks with the word [AUTO] can use the function of automatically creating ad sources to improve the efficiency of developers in creating ad sources. ② If you choose not to enable it, it will not affect advertising monetization |
| Automatically create ad sources | Yes / No After selecting that the reporting API is enabled, for networks with the word [AUTO] that support the automatic creation function, you can choose whether to enable the automatic creation of ad sources for the platform. |

(2) Select the corresponding network in the pop-up window, fill in the relevant parameters, and add the ad source
① Guidelines for adding ad sources on each platform can be found at:Mediation Network Guide
② Instructions for filling in other information are as follows:
| Ad source information | Filling instructions |
|---|---|
| Header bidding >>Learn more |
● If you need to use header bidding, please select [Yes], which corresponds to the bidding ad source created on the network. ● Bidding floor price ①The bidding floor price is only effective for server-side bidding. Click the small question mark after the bidding floor price to view the supported SDK versions; ②When the network bids lower than the bidding floor price, Taku will filter this bidding result. Setting the bidding floor price will reduce the filling and revenue of the bidding ad source. Please set it with caution; ③If the bidding floor price is set in both the segment and the ad source, the bidding floor price of the ad source will be used first; ● For the networks that Taku currently supports Bidding, please refer to: Taku supports header bidding network |
| Price >>Learn more |
①Priceis only used for priority sorting during ad request and display, and does not affect ad filling. ②It is recommended that the price be consistent with the floor price set for the ad source on the ad platform, which can be used to estimate the real-time revenue and LTV of the day. ③The price of ad sources without a floor price can be set to 0.1, and Auto price can be turned on. |
| Bottom Ad >>Learn more |
①After the ad source is set to bottom ad, it cannot be changed. ②The bottom ad and Waterfall implement a staggered parallel strategy to shorten the time it takes to fill ads. ③When the waterfall request is not filled, Taku will use the bottom ad to display. When the waterfall request is filled, Taku will display at the higher price of the price. |
| Auto price >>Learn more |
①Prerequisite for use: You need to open the reporting API permission of the network ②After enabling, Taku will calculate the ranking price based on the average eCPM of the network in the past 7 days. When the data is too small (less than 2000 displays), Taku still uses the manually filled price for sorting |
(3) After confirming that the filled information is correct, click [Confirm] to save the ad source information
(4) After successful configuration, as shown in the figure
6. Integrate Taku SDK and SDK of mediation management
(1) Download address: https://app.takuad.com/m/sdk/download
