Integration Mode

Opera Ads is integrated into AdMob as a custom event and serves through the waterfall: Opera Ads competes with the manual eCPM you configure for the Opera custom event in the AdMob console. Opera Ads is not currently available as an official bidding network on AdMob.

Looking for bidding?

To run your own auction with Opera Ads, see Client Bidding or Server Bidding. Those are a separate integration and are independent of mediation.

Configure Custom Event in the AdMob Console

You need to add Opera to the mediation configuration for your ad unit.

First, sign in to your AdMob account. Next, navigate to the Mediation tab. If you have an existing mediation group you'd like to modify, click the name of that mediation group to edit it, and skip ahead to Add Opera Ads as a Custom Event. To create a new mediation group, select Create Mediation Group.

Add Opera Ads as a Custom Event

Under the Waterfall card in the Ad Sources section, select Add custom event. Fill in the "Label" and "eCPM", and press Continue.

In the Map ad units pop-up window, choose one AdMob ad unit to map to the custom event, and fill in the following:

• Class Name: OpAdxAdmobMediationAdapter

  This single adapter class handles all ad formats (Banner, Interstitial, Rewarded, Native, App Open).

• Parameter: Enter your Opera Ads configuration in JSON format:

  {
    "appId": "pub13423013211200/ep13423013211584/app14170937163904",
    "placementId": "s14170965187264",
    "bundleId": "1444253128"
  }

  Key	Required	Description
  appId	Yes	Opera Ads Application ID (format: pub{}/ep{}/app{})
  placementId	Yes	Opera Ads Placement ID (format: s{})
  bundleId	Yes	Your iOS App Store ID (numeric, not the app's bundle identifier)

Add Dependencies

Add to your Podfile:

platform :ios, '13.0'

target 'YourApp' do
  use_frameworks!

  # Google Mobile Ads SDK
  pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '>= 12.8'

  # Opera Ads SDK
  pod 'OpAdxSdk', '~> 2.12.0'

  # Opera Ads AdMob Adapter
  pod 'GMAOperaSDKAdapter', '~> 2.12.0.0'
end

Then run:

pod install

Additional Code Required

The AdMob SDK automatically initializes the Opera Ads SDK when loading ads. No additional initialization code is required.

Initialize AdMob SDK

Swift:

import GoogleMobileAds

@main
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

    func application(_ application: UIApplication,
                     didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

        // Initialize Google Mobile Ads SDK
        GADMobileAds.sharedInstance().start { status in
            print("AdMob SDK initialized")
        }

        // Opera Ads SDK will be auto-initialized by the adapter

        return true
    }
}

Objective-C:

#import <GoogleMobileAds/GoogleMobileAds.h>

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {

    // Initialize Google Mobile Ads SDK
    [[GADMobileAds sharedInstance] startWithCompletionHandler:^(GADInitializationStatus *status) {
        NSLog(@"AdMob SDK initialized");
    }];

    // Opera Ads SDK will be auto-initialized by the adapter

    return YES;
}

@end
