Offer Wall API Integration

Product Deprecated

AdGem no longer supports the Offer Wall API integration. New Publishers will not be granted access to this integration. We recommend current Offer Wall API Publishers migrate to the AdGem Offer API to retain access to our offers. You can find more information HERE. If you have any questions, please contact your dedicated Publisher Support Advocate.

---

Why the Offer Wall API?

The Offer Wall API allows Publishers to implement a fully customized Offer Wall interface that matches their app’s existing design. This integration type can be used in a variety of UIs and works especially well for “Featured Placement” sections.

The Offer Wall API leverages AdGem’s EPC sorting and GEO targeting algorithms to help optimize monetization for Publishers, limiting complex development work. Publishers can limit the number of results returned in the Offer Wall API call, resulting in a faster and less resource heavy call.

We recommend you call our every 5 minutes to ensure your players have access to the most up to date offers.

---

Limitations

Some features of the web integrated AdGem Offer Wall are not currently accessible via the Offer Wall API.

These include:

• The AdGem Reward Status model which allows Players to view their In-Progress and Completed offers

** Please keep this in mind prior to implementation. **

Requirements

Native Offer Presentation Tip

Using the disclaimer field for Native Offers

AdGem Player Support will enforce offer attribution windows as set by our advertisers, making it important that your users are aware of this completion window prior to offer engagement.
