AppLovin Integration Guide

This guide will instruct you step-by-step on how to set AppLovin live as an Ad Network on Unity LevelPlay.

Before you start Make sure you have correctly integrated ironSource’s Rewarded Video, Interstitial or Banner into your application.

Step 1. Create an AppLovin Account

  1. Create an account with AppLovin. You can do so here.
  2. Once your account has been verified you can login at their partner login here.

Step 2. Retrieve Your AppLovin SDK and Report Keys

There are 2 pieces of data from the AppLovin account which need to be inserted into your ironSource Network Setup Module in order for AppLovin to work correctly in connection with ironSource:

  • Report Key: This is a unique identifier for your AppLovin account, which allows Unity LevelPlay to import performance data from your AppLovin account to use in reporting & optimization.
  • SDK Key: This is a unique identifier for your AppLovin account. This is used by the ironSource Mediation SDK to Init the AppLovin Adapter for your apps.

Once you obtain this information, you must configure the AppLovin parameters in your ironSource Account. By adding the above information correctly, you will be able to take full advantage of AppLovin’s ad inventory and reporting data on ironSource’s Mediation platform.

  1. Report Key

    To find the ‘Report Key‘, go to the ‘Account‘ tab and select ‘Keys‘ from the left side menu.
    sdk-key

  2. SDK Key

    To find the ‘SDK Key‘, go to the ‘Account‘ tab and select ‘Keys‘ from the left side menu.

Step 3. Activate AppLovin on the ironSource SDK Networks Module

  •  You will then see AppLovin as Active for Mediation on your Setup Dashboard.
    edit-network-copy-2
  • Verify your integration with the Reporting API; this column will check your integration through the Reporting API and return three possible responses: Verified, Failed and No Response. Double check your integration and the information you entered above; then click ‘Retry‘ until you see ‘Verified’.
