Introduction

The purpose of this article is to guide publishers who want to use the FairBid SDK to load and display ads from InMobi via FairBid mediation.

This is a six-step process:

1. Create an account and login to your InMobi Account
2. Create an app in InMobi
3. Create a placement in InMobi for your app
4. Retrieve parameters from the InMobi dashboard
5. Insert the InMobi parameters in the FairBid console
6. Add the InMobi SDK to your integration

Steps 1, 2 and 3

For details on how to create an InMobi account, create an app and a placement, follow the instructions here.

Step 4: Retrieve the Parameters from InMobi

To enable InMobi to work as an Ad Network on the FairBid Mediation Platform, you must obtain four from your InMobi account and later insert the details in the Fyber FairBid SDK integration.

Set out below are the details of what parameters are required, how and where to obtain them from the InMobi system.

The parameters required depend on whether you are configuring the network at the App Level or Placement Level in the Fyber console.  

Alternatively, watch and listen to the video below to find out how to obtain the required parameters:

Retrieving the User Name

Once you are logged-in to your InMobi account, the user name appears in the top-right corner of the window:

Retrieving the Account ID

1. Click the dropdown menu next to your User Name
   
   

Your Account ID is displayed as the first credential in the list.

Retrieving the API Key

The API Key is automatically generated to the registered mail ID with which your InMobi account was created.  You can validate the API Key you have or generate a new one by performing the following:

1. Click the dropdown menu next to your User Name
   
2. Click Account Settings
3. Click API Key
   
4. Either click Generate Key to receive a new API Key or click Validate Key to validate an existing API Key, as required.

Retrieving the Placement ID

1. Click the Monetize tab on the InMobi dashboard
   
2. From the list of My Apps, click Placement for the required app
   
3. The Placement IDs for that app are displayed
   

Step 5: Insert InMobi Parameters into the Fyber Console

To enter the parameters obtained from InMobi and insert them into the Fyber Console, follow these steps.

1. Sign-in to your Fyber account.
2. Select your app from the App Management window.

3. On the App Management page, click Mediated Networks.

4. Select InMobi from the list

The InMobi configuration window opens:

5. Enter the InMobi app credentials and set the Instance name.

Instance name should be distinguishable in case you have multiple InMobi Instances.

6. Click Save.
7. To complete the set up, you must associate the network instance that you just created to the relevant Placement set up on the Fyber Dashboard. For a detailed guide click here. 

Step 6: Adding the InMobi SDK to your integration

To add the InMobi SDK go to the Supported Networks page and follow the guide  while selecting the Configuration for InMobi.

Android

InMobi and the Android Gradle plugin

To prevent building issues when integrating InMobi through your Gradle build script, you must set the Android Gradle plugin to version 3.4.3 or higher.

If you are using Unity 2017 LTS or 2018 LTS, this plugin is configured within your mainTemplate.gradle file.

However, if you are using Unity 2019.4 or 2020.1 the plugin is configured in the baseProjectTemplate.gradle file.

InMobi's dependencies and AndroidX

InMobi requires several dependencies. Some of them rely on AndroidX libs while other rely on app compat libraries. This will led to some conflicts preventing a successful build.

This can be solved by enabling Jetifier and AndroidX through gradle properties.

• Android integration through Unity
