With native ads, you can get a JSON response which you can use to create your own ad unit, in contrary to an ad tag that loads the ad. This article describes how to create native ads.

Templates

First, create your templates via the page Settings => Customization => Native Ad Templates by setting up the variable that you want AdGlare to return in the response. A variable can be of the following type:

Text
URL
Number
Code
Boolean

Configure the creative

Once you've set up your templates, create a new Native Ad campaign. Then add a creative, and choose your template from the list. You can now set up the values for each of the variables from the template. Then assign the campaign to a Native Ad zone.

Native Ad URL

To get the native ad URL that returns a JSON response, create a Native Ad zone and click the blue button at the top right.

Logging events

To log events of native ads in AdGlare, you have to make a POST request to https://{your_name}.engine.adglare.net/event with the event token as a payload.

Key/Value Targeting

To provide data for Key/Value Targeting, make a POST request (instead of a GET request) to your Native Ad URL and add the following JSON payload:

{"targeting":{"key_value":{"some_key":"some_value","another_key":123}}}

Note that if you add booleans as a value in your payload, they will be casted to strings as 'true' or 'false'. You can then target those keys inside your AdGlare creative as some_key=true.
