Experiments can involve adding/removing ad sources, adjusting waterfall order/eCPM, enabling/disabling optimization, or changing call frequency. To set up an experiment, you must create a variation (variant B) of an existing mediation group (variant A), and define the percentage of users that will see variant B. To use the API, it is required to obtain an authorization, then you can create, check the status and stop the experiments. Only one experiment can be active in each mediation group at a time.\n"],null,["# Mediation A/B experiment\n\nThe AdMob API can create mediation A/B experiments to maximize your ads\nperformance by testing various configurations. An A/B test lets you evaluate\ntwo variations of a mediation group to compare the results side by side and\nselect a preferred configuration.\n\nHere are examples of experiments you can set up:\n\n- Adding or removing ad sources to see their impact on your mediation group\n- Using a different waterfall order by changing the manual eCPM value of ad sources\n- Enabling or disabling optimization on waterfall ad sources\n- Changing the number of times an ad source is called\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nStart with an existing mediation group and create a variation of it to see\nwhich variant, A or B, performs better. The test splits your app's users\nbetween your existing mediation group setup and the variation, based on a\npercentage (1%, 10%, or 50%) you provide.\n**Key Point:** A mediation group can only run one mediation A/B experiment at a time. \n\n### curl (command line)\n\n### Requests using curl\n\n1. **Load the [client secrets file](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials) and generate authorization\n credentials.**\n\n The first time you perform this step, you are asked to accept an\n authorization prompt in your browser. Before accepting, make sure you're\n signed in with a Google Account that has access to the AdMob API. Your\n app will be authorized to access data on behalf of whichever account is\n currently logged in.\n\n For authentication and authorization, we recommend using\n [oauth2l](//github.com/google/oauth2l), a simple command-line tool for\n working with Google OAuth 2.0. Install oauth2l and run the command below,\n replacing \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003epath_to_credentials_json\u003c/var\u003e with a path to a\n `credentials.json` file that you download when registering your cloud\n app. For the first run, the command walks you through the OAuth 2.0\n authorization flow. Subsequent runs refresh the token automatically. \n\n ```\n oauth2l header --json path_to_credentials_json --scope admob.monetization,admob.readonly\n ```\n2. **Create a mediation A/B experiment.**\n\n Replace `pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX` with your [publisher\n ID](//support.google.com/admob/answer/2784578) and `ZZZZZZZZZZ` with your\n mediation group ID.
