  1. Log in to your AdMob dashboard.
  2. Go to Mediation and click Create mediation group.

Configure Boldwin For Ad Units

  1. Enter a Label (for example Boldwin) and the eCPM.
  2. Set Class Name to BoldwinAdMobAdapter.
  3. Set Parameter to the Boldwin configuration JSON (see below).
  4. Map the custom event to your ad units and save.

AdMob Custom Event

Example of the Parameter value:

{
    "placement_id": "<YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID>",
    "publisher_id": "<YOUR_PUBLISHER_ID>",
    "ad_sizes": [{ "w": <WIDTH>, "h": <HEIGHT> }]
}

The parameter includes the following keys:

  • placement_id - The Boldwin placement ID. Required.
  • publisher_id - The Boldwin publisher ID. Optional. Used only to initialize the Boldwin SDK when your app has not initialized it already.
  • ad_sizes - The Boldwin supported ad sizes. Optional. Used to provide several sizes for placement.

By default, the banner ad size is taken from the AdMob ad unit, so it does not need to be specified in the parameter.
