I'm using dailymotion API/SDK to launch ad break and edit title etc...
But when i'm launching ads, i'd like to have a callback with time left.
So i can tell to user when ad break is finish.
Can i do that with dailymotion API/SDK ?
You can use the live_ad_break_end_time field for that, be beware that this is only an "estimated time" for the end of the commercial ad break.

The adwords UI has a nice "Ad showing now?" dialog that says if an ad is showing or not, and in the case the ad isn't showing has a little message explaining why.
Is there a way to programmatically access this information directly on the ad?
as far as I know, there is no direct way, how to see exactly the same information as in web interface.
However, through API, you can download:
Keywords Approval Status
(https://developers.google.com/adwords/scripts/docs/examples/keywords)
and Ad status - CreativeApprovalStatus
(https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/ad-performance-report)
and maybe for ex. no. of impressions to each, and since you can download this up to 1000x a day (I would recommend less), you shall have less precise, but similar information as well.
API usage & limitations: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/ratesheet
I have a client who is requesting something that I don't think is possible, but wanted to verify before I tell them it can't be done. What they want: to create an interactive animated banner ad, where the user would click on the ad to attempt to shoot a basket though a basketball goal. They will miss the first one, but try again, then make the basket. Then the ad would animate through to the end where they would then click through to the client's website. It seems like it wouldn't be possible to click multiple times on a banner ad. Is this correct or is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance for your help!
A part of what you are describing should be doable using the ExitApi, which allows you to make only a specific part of your ad a clickable exit. It's not very well documented but mentioned here.
Note that there might be other Adwords policies which will prevent you from implementing your creative exactly as described, but having only a specific element in your ad triggering a click-through is possible.
I would like to block some ads from showing on my application, but I am unable to find the advertiser URLs to input these into my AdMob account.
Where can I see the advertiser URL for games such as "Clash of Clans" and "Game of War" so I can block these from displaying on my app?
Thanks
I do not believe there to be any easy way to find the URL for specific ads. You may be able to sniff them out if you look very closely at your data traffic.
However, I would advice trying the Ad review center on AdMob:
"Monetize" -> "All apps" -> "Ad Review center"
Once enabled and in "Run ads immediately" mode, you will be able to monitor what targeted ads are shown through your app, and can block the ones you don't like from being shown again. You can either block individual ads or entire AdWords accounts from appearing in your app.
You could also use "Hold placement targeted ads for 24 hours so they can be reviewed", but this only lets you review placement-targeted ads, while the previously mentioned mode works for contextual, interest-based, and placement.
Please note that these ads are blocked for all your apps, not just one. This information can be verified at Google Support.
If you want to block ads from advertiser URL then you should know the app/game name.Then search that app/game on play store using any browser, if you got your app/game which ads you want to block then copy its URL.Remove https:// from the start of that URL. The resulting URL is your advertiser URL
For example in your case you want to block Clash of Clans
Its URL is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.supercell.clashofclans&hl=en and your advertiser URL is play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.supercell.clashofclans&hl=en which you can use to block ads in advertiser URL of ADMOB ACCOUNT.
I have recently started programming in iOS. I found this really interesting way of showing an Ad in the Flixster app. It randomly pops up a latest movie banner and asks to watch trailer or skip to continue using the app. How is it actually implemented? how can they be pushing a variable screen (may be a view) at runtime? Every time you open the app, you see a different banner.
I work for Flixster and here's how we do it:
Every time the app starts or resumes, the app pings our API to ask for what ads should be shown. Our api gives our app the url of the image to be shown, as well as the click-through url, which can be a regular url, or a custom link to one of our native pages like viewing a trailer, or a movie info page.
We have an admin tool where we can upload the ad image, modify the properties of the ads, or remove old ads and add new ads. However, we've recently started using 3rd party Ad networks like DFP and Admob (acquired by Google) to take over this management.
I have been playing Games from Djinnworks, Like Line surfer and others.
How do they have pop ups of there new apps?
I have searched over the internet, couldn't find anything.
Is there a way to do this and update the ad online? Like for there new game wing suit Stickman, it has ads that change weekly without an update.
Any ideas?
place the ad as image on your server and load it from there in the app, then you can change the image on the server (and therefore also the ad in your app) without an app update.
you could also do something like: check for a new ad only every two weeks, to save bandwidth.
Use cross promotion with a service like http://chartboost.com.
This allows you to show only your own apps and have control over when they are displayed. This allows you to give the best user experience you can while still promoting your other apps.
