Airbridge supports S2S (Server-to-Server) and SDK integration with AppLovin Max. With the integration, you can import the ad revenue into Airbridge.

​
Integration Methods

NoteIf the S2S integration has been implemented after May 23, 2024, Airbridge will not send the data received through the S2S integration as postbacks.
When deciding on the integration method, it’s important to consider each method’s specifics. You can use one or both methods to integrate Airbridge with AppLovin Max.
Recommended integration methodWe recommend implementing both S2S integration and SDK integration for more accurate measurement.Make sure to check the version of the SDK you installed before implementing both S2S integration and SDK integration. You must have a certain version or later of the installed SDK to set up all integrations properly. If your SDK version is earlier than the required version, the user count will not be accurately aggregated after integration.Airbridge automatically updates the data received through SDK integration in real-time with the enriched data received through S2S integration. The data received through SDK integration can also be used to set up SKAN conversion values.

​
Pre-setup

AttentionIf you are implementing both S2S integration and SDK integration, the Airbridge SDK initially installed must be the following versions or higher. If the Airbridge SDK version is earlier than the versions listed below, both S2S integration and SDK integration cannot be properly implemented.
Update the Airbridge SDK to the versions listed below or later. No additional steps are required beyond the update. If it is earlier than the versions listed below, proceed with only S2S integration or only SDK integration.
  • Android SDK 2.25.0
  • iOS SDK 1.37.3
  • React Native SDK 2.8.6
  • Flutter SDK 3.5.6
  • Cordova SDK 2.6.6
  • Expo SDK 2.6.6
  • Unity SDK 1.14.5
  • Unreal SDK 1.3.5

​
Server-to-Server Integration

To implement the S2S integration, you need to enter the Report Key provided by AppLovin Max into the Airbridge dashboard.

​
Getting the Report Key from AppLovin Max

  1. Log in to your AppLovin Max account.
01-en-applovinmax
  1. Go to [Account]>[Keys] in the AppLovin MAX dashboard. The [Account] menu is located at the bottom of the left-side menu.
02-en-applovinmax
  1. Copy the Report Key.
03-en-applovinmax
AppDiscovery Cost IntegrationAirbridge also supports cost integration with AppDiscovery provided by AppLovin. With the integration, the cost data can be imported to Airbridge.If you want to implement the cost integration with AppDiscovery, contact your Airbridge CSM and share the Report Key.

​
Providing the Report Key to Airbridge

  1. Navigate to [Integrations]>[Third-party Integration] and select AppLovin Max.
01-en-applovinMax
  1. Paste the copied Report Key into the field and click Submit.
02-en-applovinMax
  1. Once the Report Key is successfully registered, the S2S Integration is complete.

Supported features

Refer to the table below to understand the integration status tags. Credentials refer to authentication tokens, report keys, IDs, etc.The status tags are visible under the third-party names on the [Integrations]>[Third-party Integration] page.
01-en-ThirdPartyaccordion
On the individual integration setup pages, the integration status tag is visible next to the third-party name.
02-en-LevelPlay
Click the [pen] icon to edit the credential information. Click Done to save changes.
03-en-LevelPlay
Click Delete to delete the credentials. When deleting the credentials, the integration is disabled. Data already pulled into Airbridge or to the third-party solution are not affected and remain in Airbridge or in the third-party solution. To reenable the integration, enter the credentials again.

​
Data import schedule

NoteDepending on the data volume, the aggregation process may take a longer time. As a result, the time the data is made available in the Actuals Report may be delayed.
Every day at 11:00 AM (UTC), AppLovin Max sends the data collected for the past 1 day (24 hours) to Airbridge. Airbridge processes the data before making it available on the dashboard. As a result, the AppLovin Max data is available in Airbridge 1 to 2 days after it was collected by AppLovin Max. For example, given that the Airbridge App timezone is set to UTC, the AppLovin Max data collected from 00:00 AM, 2024-01-01, to 11:59 PM, 2024-01-01, is sent to Airbridge at 11:00 AM, 2024-01-02. This data is available in the Actuals Report from 9:00 PM, 2024-01-02.

​
SDK Integration

For instructions on how to implement the SDK integration, refer to this article in the developer guide.
AttentionDue to the real-time data updates in AppLovin Max, data received via the SDK integration between Airbridge and AppLovin Max may differ.

​
Imported Ad Revenue Data in Airbridge

Once the integration is complete, the ad revenue data can be viewed in the Airbridge dashboard.

​
Attention

When implementing both S2S and SDK integration methods, the AppLovin Max data displayed in the Airbridge reports may be subject to change for up to 2 days.The real-time data received through SDK integration is updated with the enriched data received through the S2S integration. Therefore, the real-time data collected today may be updated within the next 2 days.For example, let’s say today is 2024-01-01. The AppLovin Max ad revenue data of 2024-01-01 displayed in the Airbridge reports may be updated on 2024-01-03.
If the S2S integration has been implemented after May 23, 2024, Airbridge will not send the data received through the S2S integration as postbacks.If the S2S integration has been implemented before May 23, 2024, Airbridge will continue to send the data received through the S2S integration as postbacks.
When implementing both S2S and SDK integration, event duplication may occur in the following cases.
  • When sending the data received from AppLovin Max to your data storage, duplicated events may be stored in the data storage.
  • When exporting raw data from the [Raw Data]>[App Raw Data] page, event duplication may occur depending on the time of the export.
The time zone for AppLovin Max is fixed to UTC, while the time zone for your Airbridge App is configurable when creating the Airbridge App in Airbridge. Data discrepancies may occur if your Airbridge App’s time zone is not set to UTC.
