Display Ads — By default, AdGlare uses asynchronous ad tags that don't block rendering of the main page.
Native Ads — The ad tag in this case is a URL, that returns one or more ads as a JSON response. You or your developers can then parse the JSON code and use the data to expand placeholders in your own HTML ad template.
VAST Video Ads — The ad tag in this case is a URL, that returns a VAST XML response containing the ad. This URL should be added to a VAST-compliant video player in order to pre/mid/post-roll the ad.
Redirect Ads — The ad tag in this case is a URL, that returns a HTTP 302 to the landing page of the creative.

Live Preview

The Live Preview Page in the ad server provides a dynamic way to visualize how ads will appear within a specific zone before they go live. This feature is crucial for ensuring that auto_storiesCreatives are displayed correctly and meet the intended design specifications.

When using the Live Preview Page, your own user data such as device type and country may be utilized to accurately simulate how ads will appear and perform. This data helps in providing a realistic preview of ad delivery based on the specific characteristics of the user's environment. In other words, if you've targeted the campaign to users from Brasil and you're in the USA, the ads may not show up.

Iframe Tags

Many publishers prefer iframe tags over JavaScript-based tags because iframes ensure a consistent ad display across different browsers and devices. Since iframes encapsulate the ad content, they are less likely to be influenced by variations in the publisher's page code or CSS styles. This encapsulation helps maintain a predictable appearance for ads, regardless of the surrounding content.

To generate iframe tags, make sure your Zone is of the type 'Display Ad'. When generating the tag, activate the Iframe Version toggle.

JavaScript API

Display Ad tags can be modified using the JavaScript API that AdGlare provides. Let's take this ad tag as an example:

<script async src="https://try.engine.adglare.net/?js"></script> <span id=zone123456789> <script> window.AdGlare = window.AdGlare || {q:[],run:function(){}}; window.AdGlare.q.push(function() { AdGlare.setZone(123456789).load(); }); window.AdGlare.run(); </script> </span>

The only line that can be modified is:

AdGlare.setZone(710732824).load();

The rest of the code should be left untouched.

Ad Sizes

To define which auto_storiesAd Sizes are supported in the zone, use the adSizes() function:

AdGlare.setZone(710732824).adSizes(['300x250','468x60']).load();

Keywords

To set keywords used for Keyword Targeting, use the keyWords() function:

AdGlare.setZone(710732824).keyWords(['cars','audi']).load();

Key/Values

To set key/values used for keyValue Targeting, use the keyValues() function:

AdGlare.setZone(710732824).keyValues({'color':'red'}).load();

Custom Macros

To create custom auto_storiesMacros that are available at runtime, use the customMacros() function:

AdGlare.setZone(710732824).customMacros({'{model}':'ID4','{make}':'Volkswagen'}).load();

Click Tracking URL

If you're a publisher, and your advertiser provided you with a click tracking URL in order to log click on their end, you can add this as follows:

AdGlare.setZone(710732824).clickTrackingURL('https://track.com/?19dj2n4').load();

Page URL

AdGlare will try to determine the domain on which the ad is shown. However, due to cross-domain iframe restrictions, you may end up seeing the domain from the publisher's ad server instead. To avoid this, add the page URL to the ad tag:

AdGlare.setZone(710732824).pageURL('https://publisher.com/some-article').load();

If you're an advertiser: the page URL here is typically a macro expanding to the actual URL inside the publisher's ad server. Before sending the ad tag to the publisher, you can write a placeholder so that the publisher can replace it with their macro accordingly:

AdGlare.setZone(710732824).pageURL('PAGE_URL_MACRO_HERE').load();

Note: the publisher should NOT remove the single quotes flagging the PAGE_URL_MACRO_HERE placeholder.
