MoPub’s Advanced Bidding

InMobi is a real-time bidder with MoPub’s header bidding solution, Advanced Bidding, and is one of MoPub’s supported SDK networks. This topic explains how you can display ads from InMobi for your inventory being monetized on Advanced Bidding.

Prerequisites

Ensure the following before you get started with this integration:

  • You need to be live on MoPub Mediation and Advanced Bidding.
  • Upgrade to the latest SDKs and sign a contract with InMobi.
  • Minimum InMobi SDK Version: 917 (iOS), 919 (Android). Click here to download.
  • Minimum MoPub SDK Version: 5.16.2 (iOS), 5.16.4 (Android)
  • Use the certified MoPub - InMobi adapter. For more information, click here.
  • Ad Formats Supported: Banner, Interstitial, Video (any format).

Note

Existing customers will need to use the certified adapter to run Advanced Bidding.  This means that the existing custom setup, (including the custom InMobi adapter) cannot co-exist with the certified network setup.  Existing customers will have to remove the custom adapter and integrate it with the certified adapter to run Advanced Bidding or traditional waterfall on MoPub ad units. For more information on detailed migration instructions, see MoPub's developer documentation.
