Waterfall

Take note of the User ID at the bottom left corner of the page.

Click Integrations > SDK & API > Pangle Reporting API 2.0. Take note of Role ID and Security Key.

Step 2: Configure mediation settings for your AdMob ad unit

You need to add Pangle to the mediation configuration for your ad unit. First sign in to your AdMob account.

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 Pangle as an ad source.

To create a new mediation group, select Create Mediation Group.

Mediation details

Enter your ad format and platform, then click Continue.

Give your mediation group a name, and select locations to target. Next, set the mediation group status to Enabled. Then click Add Ad Units, which will open up the ad unit selection overlay.

Associate this mediation group with your existing AdMob ad unit. Then click Done.

You should now see the ad units card populated with the ad units you selected.

Add Pangle as an ad source

Bidding

Under the Bidding card in the Ad Sources section, select Add Ad Source. Then select Pangle.

Click How to sign a partnership agreement and set up a bidding partnership with Pangle.

Click Acknowledge & agree, then click Continue.

If you already have a mapping for Pangle, you can simply select it. Otherwise, click Add mapping.

Next, enter a Mapping name, the App ID and the Ad Placement ID obtained in the previous section. Then click Done.

Waterfall

Under the Waterfall card in the Ad Sources section, select Add Ad Source.

Select Pangle and enable the Optimize switch. Enter the Reporting API user id, Reporting API role id, and Secret Key obtained in the previous section. Then enter an eCPM value for Pangle and click Continue.

If you already have a mapping for Pangle, you can simply select it. Otherwise, click Add mapping.

Next, enter a Mapping name, App ID, and Ad Placement ID. Then click Done.

Step 3: Import the Pangle SDK and adapter

Using CocoaPods (recommended)

Add the following line to your project's Podfile:
```
pod 'GoogleMobileAdsMediationPangle'
```
From the command line run:
```
pod install --repo-update
```

Manual integration

Download the latest version of the Pangle SDK for iOS and link all the .framework files and bundles in your project.
Download the latest version of the Pangle adapter from the download link in the Changelog and link PangleAdapter.xcframework in your project.

Step 4: Additional code required

SKAdNetwork integration

Follow Pangle's documentation to add the SKAdNetwork identifiers to your project's Info.plist file.

Step 5: Test your implementation

See the How to add Test Ad guide for detailed instructions on how to enable Pangle test ads. You can then use the Ad Inspector to verify if your implementation is correct.

That's it! You now have a working mediation integration with Pangle.

Optional Steps

Native ads

Ad rendering

The Pangle adapter returns its native ads as GADNativeAd objects. It populates the following fields for a GADNativeAd.

Field	Assets always included by Pangle adapter
Headline
Image	1
Body
Icon
Call to action
Star rating
Store
Price
Advertiser

¹ The Pangle adapter does not provide direct access to the main image asset for its native ads. Instead, the adapter populates the GADMediaView with a video or an image.

Error codes

If the adapter fails to receive an ad from Pangle, you can check the underlying error from the ad response using GADResponseInfo.adNetworkInfoArray under the following classes:

GADMediationAdapterPangle

Here are the codes and accompanying messages thrown by the Pangle adapter when an ad fails to load:

Error code	Domain	Reason
101	com.google.ads.mediation.pangle	Invalid server parameters (e.g. Missing app ID or placement ID).
102	com.google.ads.mediation.pangle	The requested ad size does not match a Pangle supported banner size.
-1-60000	Sent by Pangle SDK	Pangle SDK returned an error. See Pangle's documentation for more details.
