open static fun get(context: Context): AdSelectionManager

Factory method for creating an instance of AdSelectionManager.

getAdSelectionData

open fun getAdSelectionData(
    request: GetAdSelectionDataRequest, 
    executor: Executor, 
    receiver: OutcomeReceiver<GetAdSelectionDataOutcome!, Exception!>
): Unit

Collects custom audience data from device. Returns a compressed and encrypted blob to send to auction servers for ad selection. For more details, please visit Bidding and Auction Services Explainer.

Custom audience ads must have a ad_render_id to be eligible for to be collected.

See AdSelectionManager.persistAdSelectionResult for how to process the results of the ad selection run on server-side with the blob generated by this API.

The output is passed by the receiver, which either returns an GetAdSelectionDataOutcome for a successful run, or an Exception includes the type of the exception thrown and the corresponding error message.

If the IllegalArgumentException is thrown, it is caused by invalid input argument the API received to run the ad selection.

If the IllegalStateException is thrown with error message "Failure of AdSelection services.", it is caused by an internal failure of the ad selection service.

If the TimeoutException is thrown, it is caused when a timeout is encountered during bidding, scoring, or overall selection process to find winning Ad.

If the LimitExceededException is thrown, it is caused when the calling package exceeds the allowed rate limits and is throttled.

If the SecurityException is thrown, it is caused when the caller is not authorized or permission is not requested.

): Unit

Persists the ad selection results from the server-side. For more details, please visit Bidding and Auction Services Explainer

See AdSelectionManager.getAdSelectionData for how to generate an encrypted blob to run an ad selection on the server side.

The output is passed by the receiver, which either returns an AdSelectionOutcome for a successful run, or an Exception includes the type of the exception thrown and the corresponding error message. The AdSelectionOutcome.getAdSelectionId() is not guaranteed to be the same as the android.adservices.adselection.PersistAdSelectionResultRequest#getAdSelectionDataId() or the deprecated android.adservices.adselection.PersistAdSelectionResultRequest#getAdSelectionId().

If the IllegalArgumentException is thrown, it is caused by invalid input argument the API received to run the ad selection.

If the IllegalStateException is thrown with error message "Failure of AdSelection services.", it is caused by an internal failure of the ad selection service.

If the TimeoutException is thrown, it is caused when a timeout is encountered during bidding, scoring, or overall selection process to find winning Ad.

If the LimitExceededException is thrown, it is caused when the calling package exceeds the allowed rate limits and is throttled.

If the SecurityException is thrown, it is caused when the caller is not authorized or permission is not requested.

reportEvent

open fun reportEvent(
    request: ReportEventRequest, 
    executor: Executor, 
    receiver: OutcomeReceiver<Any!, Exception!>
): Unit

Notifies the service that there is a new ad event to report for the ad selected by the ad-selection run identified by adSelectionId. An ad event is any occurrence that happens to an ad associated with the given adSelectionId. There is no guarantee about when the ad event will be reported. The event reporting could be delayed and reports could be batched.

Using ReportEventRequest.getKey(), the service will fetch the reportingUri that was registered in registerAdBeacon. See documentation of reportImpression for more details regarding registerAdBeacon. Then, the service will attach ReportEventRequest.getData() to the request body of a POST request and send the request. The body of the POST request will have the content-type of text/plain, and the data will be transmitted in charset=UTF-8.

The output is passed by the receiver, which either returns an empty Object for a successful run, or an Exception includes the type of the exception thrown and the corresponding error message.

If the IllegalArgumentException is thrown, it is caused by invalid input argument the API received to report the ad event.

If the IllegalStateException is thrown with error message "Failure of AdSelection services.", it is caused by an internal failure of the ad selection service.

If the LimitExceededException is thrown, it is caused when the calling package exceeds the allowed rate limits and is throttled.

If the SecurityException is thrown, it is caused when the caller is not authorized or permission is not requested.

Events will be reported at most once as a best-effort attempt.

reportImpression

open fun reportImpression(
    request: ReportImpressionRequest, 
    executor: Executor, 
    receiver: OutcomeReceiver<Any!, Exception!>
): Unit

Notifies the service that there is a new impression to report for the ad selected by the ad-selection run identified by adSelectionId. There is no guarantee about when the impression will be reported. The impression reporting could be delayed and reports could be batched.

To calculate the winning seller reporting URL, the service fetches the seller's JavaScript logic from the AdSelectionConfig.getDecisionLogicUri() found at android.adservices.adselection.ReportImpressionRequest#getAdSelectionConfig(). Then, the service executes one of the functions found in the seller JS called reportResult, providing on-device signals as well as ReportImpressionRequest.getAdSelectionConfig() as input parameters.

The function definition of reportResult is:

function reportResult(ad_selection_config, render_url, bid, contextual_signals) { return { 'status': status, 'results': {'signals_for_buyer': signals_for_buyer, 'reporting_url': reporting_url } }; }

To calculate the winning buyer reporting URL, the service fetches the winning buyer's JavaScript logic which is fetched via the buyer's android.adservices.customaudience.CustomAudience#getBiddingLogicUri(). Then, the service executes one of the functions found in the buyer JS called reportWin, providing on-device signals, signals_for_buyer calculated by reportResult, and specific fields from ReportImpressionRequest.getAdSelectionConfig() as input parameters.

The function definition of reportWin is:

function reportWin(ad_selection_signals, per_buyer_signals, signals_for_buyer, contextual_signals, custom_audience_reporting_signals) { return {'status': 0, 'results': {'reporting_url': reporting_url } }; }

In addition, buyers and sellers have the option to register to receive reports on specific ad events. To do so, they can invoke the platform provided registerAdBeacon function inside reportWin and reportResult for buyers and sellers, respectively.

The function definition of registerBeacon is:

function registerAdBeacon(beacons), where beacons is a dict of string to string pairs

For each ad event a buyer/seller is interested in reports for, they would add an event_key: event_reporting_uri pair to the beacons dict, where event_key is an identifier for that specific event. This event_key should match ReportEventRequest.getKey() when the SDK invokes reportEvent. In addition, each event_reporting_uri should parse properly into a android.net.Uri. This will be the android.net.Uri reported to when the SDK invokes reportEvent.

When the buyer/seller has added all the pairings they want to receive events for, they can invoke registerAdBeacon(beacons), where beacons is the name of the dict they added the pairs to.

registerAdBeacon will throw a TypeError in these situations:

1. registerAdBeaconis called more than once. If this error is caught in reportWin/reportResult, the original set of pairings will be registered
2. registerAdBeacon doesn't have exactly 1 dict argument.
3. The contents of the 1 dict argument are not all String: String pairings.

The output is passed by the receiver, which either returns an empty Object for a successful run, or an Exception includes the type of the exception thrown and the corresponding error message.

If the IllegalArgumentException is thrown, it is caused by invalid input argument the API received to report the impression.

If the IllegalStateException is thrown with error message "Failure of AdSelection services.", it is caused by an internal failure of the ad selection service.

If the LimitExceededException is thrown, it is caused when the calling package exceeds the allowed rate limits and is throttled.

If the SecurityException is thrown, it is caused when the caller is not authorized or permission is not requested.

Impressions will be reported at most once as a best-effort attempt.

selectAds

open fun selectAds(
    adSelectionConfig: AdSelectionConfig, 
    executor: Executor, 
    receiver: OutcomeReceiver<AdSelectionOutcome!, Exception!>
): Unit

Runs the ad selection process on device to select a remarketing ad for the caller application.

The input adSelectionConfig is provided by the Ads SDK and the AdSelectionConfig object is transferred via a Binder call. For this reason, the total size of these objects is bound to the Android IPC limitations. Failures to transfer the AdSelectionConfig will throws an TransactionTooLargeException.

The input adSelectionConfig contains Decision Logic Uri that could follow either the HTTPS or Ad Selection Prebuilt schemas.

If the URI follows HTTPS schema then the host should match the seller. Otherwise, IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

Prebuilt URIs are a way of substituting a generic pre-built logics for the required JavaScripts for scoreAds. Prebuilt Uri for this endpoint should follow;

• ad-selection-prebuilt://ad-selection/<name>?<script-generation-parameters>

If an unsupported prebuilt URI is passed or prebuilt URI feature is disabled by the service then IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

See AdSelectionConfig.Builder.setDecisionLogicUri for supported <name> and required <script-generation-parameters>.

The output is passed by the receiver, which either returns an AdSelectionOutcome for a successful run, or an Exception includes the type of the exception thrown and the corresponding error message.

If the IllegalArgumentException is thrown, it is caused by invalid input argument the API received to run the ad selection.

If the IllegalStateException is thrown with error message "Failure of AdSelection services.", it is caused by an internal failure of the ad selection service.

If the TimeoutException is thrown, it is caused when a timeout is encountered during bidding, scoring, or overall selection process to find winning Ad.

If the LimitExceededException is thrown, it is caused when the calling package exceeds the allowed rate limits and is throttled.

If the SecurityException is thrown, it is caused when the caller is not authorized or permission is not requested.

selectAds

open fun selectAds(
    adSelectionFromOutcomesConfig: AdSelectionFromOutcomesConfig, 
    executor: Executor, 
    receiver: OutcomeReceiver<AdSelectionOutcome!, Exception!>
): Unit

Selects an ad from the results of previously ran ad selections.

The input adSelectionFromOutcomesConfig is provided by the Ads SDK and the AdSelectionFromOutcomesConfig object is transferred via a Binder call. For this reason, the total size of these objects is bound to the Android IPC limitations. Failures to transfer the AdSelectionFromOutcomesConfig will throws an TransactionTooLargeException.

The output is passed by the receiver, which either returns an AdSelectionOutcome for a successful run, or an Exception includes the type of the exception thrown and the corresponding error message.

The input adSelectionFromOutcomesConfig contains:

• Seller is required to be a registered . Otherwise, IllegalStateException will be thrown.
• List of ad selection ids should exist and come from android.adservices.adselection.AdSelectionManager#selectAds calls originated from the same application. Otherwise, IllegalArgumentException for input validation will raise listing violating ad selection ids.
• Selection logic URI that could follow either the HTTPS or Ad Selection Prebuilt schemas.

  If the URI follows HTTPS schema then the host should match the seller. Otherwise, IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

  Prebuilt URIs are a way of substituting a generic pre-built logics for the required JavaScripts for selectOutcome. Prebuilt Uri for this endpoint should follow;

  • ad-selection-prebuilt://ad-selection-from-outcomes/<name>?<script-generation-parameters>

  If an unsupported prebuilt URI is passed or prebuilt URI feature is disabled by the service then IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

  See AdSelectionFromOutcomesConfig.Builder.setSelectionLogicUri for supported <name> and required <script-generation-parameters>.

If the IllegalArgumentException is thrown, it is caused by invalid input argument the API received to run the ad selection.

If the IllegalStateException is thrown with error message "Failure of AdSelection services.", it is caused by an internal failure of the ad selection service.

If the TimeoutException is thrown, it is caused when a timeout is encountered during bidding, scoring, or overall selection process to find winning Ad.

If the LimitExceededException is thrown, it is caused when the calling package exceeds the allowed rate limits and is throttled.

If the SecurityException is thrown, it is caused when the caller is not authorized or permission is not requested.

setAppInstallAdvertisers

open fun setAppInstallAdvertisers(
    request: SetAppInstallAdvertisersRequest, 
    executor: Executor, 
    receiver: OutcomeReceiver<Any!, Exception!>
): Unit

Gives the provided list of adtechs the ability to do app install filtering on the calling app.

The input request is provided by the Ads SDK and the request object is transferred via a Binder call. For this reason, the total size of these objects is bound to the Android IPC limitations. Failures to transfer the advertisers will throws an TransactionTooLargeException.

The output is passed by the receiver, which either returns an empty Object for a successful run, or an Exception includes the type of the exception thrown and the corresponding error message.

If the IllegalArgumentException is thrown, it is caused by invalid input argument the API received.

If the IllegalStateException is thrown with error message "Failure of AdSelection services.", it is caused by an internal failure of the ad selection service.

If the LimitExceededException is thrown, it is caused when the calling package exceeds the allowed rate limits and is throttled.

If the SecurityException is thrown, it is caused when the caller is not authorized or permission is not requested.

updateAdCounterHistogram

open fun updateAdCounterHistogram(
    updateAdCounterHistogramRequest: UpdateAdCounterHistogramRequest, 
    executor: Executor, 
    outcomeReceiver: OutcomeReceiver<Any!, Exception!>
): Unit

Updates the counter histograms for an ad which was previously selected by a call to selectAds(android.adservices.adselection.AdSelectionConfig,java.util.concurrent.Executor,android.os.OutcomeReceiver).

The counter histograms are used in ad selection to inform frequency cap filtering on candidate ads, where ads whose frequency caps are met or exceeded are removed from the bidding process during ad selection.

Counter histograms can only be updated for ads specified by the given adSelectionId returned by a recent call to FLEDGE ad selection from the same caller app.

A SecurityException is returned via the outcomeReceiver if:

1. the app has not declared the correct permissions in its manifest, or
2. the app or entity identified by the callerAdTechIdentifier are not authorized to use the API.

A LimitExceededException is returned via the outcomeReceiver if the call exceeds the calling app's API throttle.

In all other failure cases, the outcomeReceiver will return an empty Object. Note that to protect user privacy, internal errors will not be sent back via an exception.
