This is a JavaScript ad tracking code snippet that is used to track video playback events and interactions in a mobile advertising environment. Specifically, it's for integrating OMSDK (Open Measurement Software Development Kit), which enables standardized tracking and verification of ad viewability and interactions, primarily for in-app advertisements.
Here’s an explanation of what the code does:
-
Object Initialization: The code initializes a function
FyberMraidVideoTracker
, which sets up processes to track video ad playback events and report analytics. -
OMSDK Integration:
- It tries to load the OMID (Open Measurement Interface Definition) session client from
OmidSessionClient.default
. If unsuccessful, it logs an error and skips the setup. - Several key components of OMSDK (
AdSession
,Partner
,Context
,AdEvents
, andMediaEvents
) are used for video ad tracking and reporting.
- It tries to load the OMID (Open Measurement Interface Definition) session client from
-
Event Listeners and Video Playback Tracking:
- The
y()
function listens to OMSDK session lifecycle events (sessionStart
,sessionError
,sessionFinish
) and logs information or executes specific functionality depending on the event type. - The
u()
function listens to video playback events (such asVIDEO_START
,VIDEO_PAUSE
,FIRST_QUARTILE
, etc.) and triggers appropriate methods inMediaEvents
to track progress, buffering, volume changes, and completion.
- The
-
Video Element Initialization:
- The
p()
function sets up tracking for the video element. It monitors when a video element becomes ready (or retrieves an existing one) and registers it with Omid’s tracking objects (AdEvents
andMediaEvents
).
- The
-
Session Creation with
initOmid()
:- The
initOmid()
method initializes an OMID session with specific parameters (partner
andversion
) and binds the video element for tracking. - If the video element isn’t immediately available, it waits and sets up event listeners to handle the video element once it’s ready.
- The
-
Ad Impressions and User Interaction Tracking:
- The
impression()
function logs when the video ad impression occurs. - The
adUserInteraction()
function reports user interactions with the advertisement (e.g., clicks).
- The
-
Error Handling:
- It logs errors if OMSDK is not available or issues arise during tracking setup.
Purpose:
This code is designed for advanced tracking and monitoring of in-app video advertisements. It integrates OMSDK to provide reliable data on ad impressions, user interactions, and playback metrics, which are crucial for advertisers and publishers.
Context:
This sort of code is typically embedded within mobile ad tech platforms, such as those powering rewarded video ads or interstitial videos in mobile applications.
