Retrieve information about the ad response

For debugging and logging purposes, successfully loaded ads provide a ResponseInfo object. This object contains information about the ad it loaded, in addition to information about the mediation waterfall used to load the ad.

For cases where an ad loads successfully, the ad object has a getResponseInfo() method. For example, InterstitialAd.getResponseInfo() gets the response info for a loaded interstitial ad.

For cases where ads fail to load and only an error is available, the response info is available through LoadAdError.getResponseInfo().

Kotlin

override fun onAdLoaded(interstitialAd: InterstitialAd)) {
  val responseInfo = interstitialAd.responseInfo
  Log.d(TAG, responseInfo.toString())
}

override fun onAdFailedToLoad(adError: LoadAdError) {
  val responseInfo = adError.responseInfo
  Log.d(TAG, responseInfo.toString())
}

Java

@Override
public void onAdLoaded(@NonNull InterstitialAd interstitialAd) {
  ResponseInfo responseInfo = interstitialAd.getResponseInfo();
  Log.d(TAG, responseInfo.toString());
}

@Override
public void onAdFailedToLoad(LoadAdError loadAdError) {
  ResponseInfo responseInfo = loadAdError.getResponseInfo();
  Log.d(TAG, responseInfo.toString());
}

Response Info

Here is sample output returned by ResponseInfo.toString() showing the debugging data returned for a loaded ad:

{
  "Response ID": "COOllLGxlPoCFdAx4Aod-Q4A0g",
  "Mediation Adapter Class Name": "com.google.ads.mediation.admob.AdMobAdapter",
  "Adapter Responses": [
    {
      "Adapter": "com.google.ads.mediation.admob.AdMobAdapter",
      "Latency": 328,
      "Ad Source Name": "Reservation campaign",
      "Ad Source ID": "7068401028668408324",
      "Ad Source Instance Name": "[DO NOT EDIT] Publisher Test Interstitial",
      "Ad Source Instance ID": "4665218928925097",
      "Credentials": {},
      "Ad Error": "null"
    }
  ],
  "Loaded Adapter Response": {
    "Adapter": "com.google.ads.mediation.admob.AdMobAdapter",
    "Latency": 328,
    "Ad Source Name": "Reservation campaign",
    "Ad Source ID": "7068401028668408324",
    "Ad Source Instance Name": "[DO NOT EDIT] Publisher Test Interstitial",
    "Ad Source Instance ID": "4665218928925097",
    "Credentials": {},
    "Ad Error": "null"
  },
  "Response Extras": {
    "mediation_group_name": "Campaign"
  }
}

Methods on the ResponseInfo object include the following:

Method	Description
`getAdapterResponses`	Returns the list of `AdapterResponseInfo` containing metadata for each adapter included in the ad response. Can be used to debug the waterfall mediation and bidding execution. The order of the list matches the order of the mediation waterfall for this ad request. See Adapter response info for more information.
`getLoadedAdapterResponseInfo`	Returns the `AdapterResponseInfo` corresponding to the adapter that loaded the ad.
`getMediationAdapterClassName`	Returns the mediation adapter class name of the ad source that loaded the ad.
`getResponseId`	The response identifier is a unique identifier for the ad response. This identifier can be used to identify and block the ad in the Ad Review Center (ARC).
`getResponseExtras`	Returns extra information about the ad response. Extras may returns the following keys: `mediation_group_name`: The name of the mediation group `mediation_ab_test_name`: The name of the mediation A/B test, if applicable `mediation_ab_test_variant`: The variant used in the mediation A/B test, if applicable

Kotlin

override fun onAdLoaded(interstitialAd: InterstitialAd)) {
  val responseInfo = interstitialAd.responseInfo

  val responseId = responseInfo.responseId
  val mediationAdapterClassName = responseInfo.mediationAdapterClassName
  val adapterResponses = responseInfo.adapterResponses
  val loadedAdapterResponseInfo = responseInfo.loadedAdapterResponseInfo
  val extras = responseInfo.responseExtras
  val mediationGroupName = extras.getString("mediation_group_name")
  val mediationABTestName = extras.getString("mediation_ab_test_name")
  val mediationABTestVariant = extras.getString("mediation_ab_test_variant")
}

Java

@Override
public void onAdLoaded(@NonNull InterstitialAd interstitialAd) {
  MyActivity.this.interstitialAd = interstitialAd;

  ResponseInfo responseInfo = interstitialAd.getResponseInfo();
  String responseId = responseInfo.getResponseId();
  String mediationAdapterClassName = responseInfo.getMediationAdapterClassName();
  List<AdapterResponseInfo> adapterResponses = responseInfo.getAdapterResponses();
  AdapterResponseInfo loadedAdapterResponseInfo = responseInfo.getLoadedAdapterResponseInfo();
  Bundle extras = responseInfo.getResponseExtras();
  String mediationGroupName = extras.getString("mediation_group_name");
  String mediationABTestName = extras.getString("mediation_ab_test_name");
  String mediationABTestVariant = extras.getString("mediation_ab_test_variant");
}

Adapter response info

AdapterResponseInfo contains response information for an individual ad source in an ad response.

The following sample AdapterResponseInfo output shows the metadata for a loaded ad:

{
  "Adapter": "com.google.ads.mediation.admob.AdMobAdapter",
  "Latency": 328,
  "Ad Source Name": "Reservation campaign",
  "Ad Source ID": "7068401028668408324",
  "Ad Source Instance Name": "[DO NOT EDIT] Publisher Test Interstitial",
  "Ad Source Instance ID": "4665218928925097",
  "Credentials": {},
  "Ad Error": "null"
}

For each ad source, AdapterResponseInfo provides the following methods:

Method	Description
`getAdError`	Gets the error associated with the request to the ad source. Returns `null` if the ad source successfully loaded an ad or if the ad source was not attempted.
`getAdSourceId`	Gets the ad source ID associated with this adapter response. For campaigns, `6060308706800320801` is returned for a mediated ads campaign goal type, and `7068401028668408324` is returned for impression and click goal types. See Ad sources for the list of possible ad source IDs when an ad source serves the ad.
`getAdSourceInstanceId`	Gets the ad source instance ID associated with this adapter response.
`getAdSourceInstanceName`	Gets the ad source instance name associated with this adapter response.
`getAdSourceName`	Gets the ad source name associated with this adapter response. For campaigns, `Mediated House Ads` is returned for a mediated ads campaign goal type, and `Reservation Campaign` is returned for impression and click goal types. See Ad sources for the list of possible ad source names when an ad source serves the ad.
`getAdapterClassName`	Gets the class name of the ad source adapter that loaded the ad.
`getCredentials`	Gets the ad source adapter credentials specified in the AdMob UI.
`getLatencyMillis`	Gets the amount of time the ad source adapter spent loading an ad. Returns `0` if the ad source was not attempted.

Kotlin

override fun onAdLoaded(interstitialAd: InterstitialAds) {
  val loadedAdapterResponseInfo = interstitialAd.responseInfo.loadedAdapterResponseInfo

  val adError = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.adError
  val adSourceId = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.adSourceId
  val adSourceInstanceId = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.adSourceInstanceId
  val adSourceInstanceName = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.adSourceInstanceName
  val adSourceName = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.adSourceName
  val adapterClassName = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.adapterClassName
  val credentials = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.credentials
  val latencyMillis = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.latencyMillis
}

Java

@Override
public void onAdLoaded(@NonNull InterstitialAd interstitialAd) {
  AdapterResponseInfo loadedAdapterResponseInfo =
      interstitialAd.getResponseInfo().getLoadedAdapterResponseInfo();

  AdError adError = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.getAdError();
  String adSourceId = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.getAdSourceId();
  String adSourceInstanceId = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.getAdSourceInstanceId();
  String adSourceInstanceName = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.getAdSourceInstanceName();
  String adSourceName = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.getAdSourceName();
  String adapterClassName = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.getAdapterClassName();
  Bundle credentials = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.getCredentials();
  long latencyMillis = loadedAdapterResponseInfo.getLatencyMillis();
