Detailed Documentation

We have detailed developer-level documentation on the project's website at https://adzerk.github.io/adzerk-ios-sdk/

Examples

Fetching an Ad Decision

import AdzerkSDK

// Demo network, site, & ad type IDs; find your own via the Adzerk UI!
DecisionSDK.defaultNetworkId = 23
DecisionSDK.defaultSiteId = 667480

let client = DecisionSDK()

var p = Placements.custom(divName: "div0", adTypes: [5])

var reqOpts = PlacementRequest<StandardPlacement>.Options()
reqOpts.userKey = "abc"
reqOpts.keywords = ["keyword1", "keyword2"]

client.request(placements: [p], options: reqOpts) {response in
  dump(response)
}

Recording Impressions

Use with the fetch ad example above.

client.request(placements: [p], options: reqOpts) {
    switch $0 {
    case .success(let response):
        for decision in response.decisions {
            print(decision.key)
            
            for selection in decision.value {
                dump(selection, maxDepth: 3)
                
                print("\nFiring impression pixel...")
                client.recordImpression(pixelURL: selection.impressionUrl!)
            }
        }
        
    case .failure(let error):
        print(error)
    }
}

UserDB: Reading User Record

import AdzerkSDK

// Demo network ID; find your own via the Adzerk UI!
DecisionSDK.defaultNetworkId = 23

let keyStore = UserKeyStoreKeychain()
keyStore.save(userKey: "abc")

let client = DecisionSDK(keyStore: keyStore)

client.userDB().readUser() {response in
  dump(response)
}

UserDB: Setting Custom Properties

import AdzerkSDK

// Demo network ID; find your own via the Adzerk UI!
DecisionSDK.defaultNetworkId = 23

let keyStore = UserKeyStoreKeychain()
keyStore.save(userKey: "abc")

let client = DecisionSDK(keyStore: keyStore)

let props:[String: AnyCodable] = [
    "favoriteColor":  .string("blue"),
    "favoriteNumber": .int(42),
    "favoriteFoods":  .array([
        .string("strawberries"),
        .string("chocolate"),
    ])
]

client.userDB().postProperties(props) {response in
  dump(response)
}

Building an iOS Project with the SDK

Once you have installed the SDK, you can import AdzerkSDK in the AppDelegate and define your networkID and siteID.

The readme on Github has full documentation for usage.

🚧

By default, warnings and errors will be printed to the console. If you want logs, be sure to set your logging level to production before deploying your app. The readme has more details and instructions.
