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.

How to get the tags

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:

Remember that you also need to implement the lines in the ads.txt file correctly. Click here for more info about ads.txt.

Implementation

Copy the tag and paste it into your video player or ad server, according to the instructions provided by them for implementing VAST tags.

Macros

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.

Web VAST tag

Eg:

https://ads.us.e-planning.net/vssp/1/18f66?sz=640,480&ur=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.test.com&vv=3&vctx=1

In-App VAST tag

Eg:

https://ads.us.e-planning.net/vssp/1/18f66?sz=640,480&b=com.android.myapp&vv=3&vctx=1&ifa=AA000DFE74168477C70D291f574D344790E0BB11

Bid floor

By default the auction will be performed using the price configured in the UI. However, it is possible to define prices dynamically in the tag using the p= parameter.

To set them up, add to the tag (in any of its versions) a new parameter p= with the price. For example:

https://ads.us.e-planning.net/vssp/1/18f66?sz=640,480&b=com.android.myapp&vv=3&vctx=1&p=1.23

When the auction is carried out, it will have a minimum price of USD 1.23.

User sync / Cookie matching

For web implementation, it is important to sync users as this can considerably increase the results.
To do this, insert the following HTML code in all your pages:
