VAST is today's preferred technology for monetizing video inventory. E-Planning SSP can be implemented using VAST tags for both web traffic and mobile apps.
VAST tags consist of URLs that must be implemented directly in your video player or ad server. They can be extracted from the platform by accessing the Implementation tab.
There are different tag versions, depending on where they will be implemented:
Web VAST tag: Use this code if you are going to implement the VAST tag in a web site
In-App VAST tag: Use this code if you are going to implement the VAST tag in a mobile or CTV app.
Remember that you also need to implement the lines in the ads.txt file correctly. Click here for more info about ads.txt.
Copy the tag and paste it into your video player or ad server, according to the instructions provided by them for implementing VAST tags.
The tags that can be extracted from the platform contain a series of macros, which are automatically replaced by your video player or ad server. In case your video player or ad server does not support VAST macros, please replace them manually.
