Analytics

Overview

Lion Ads handles analytics as part of the ad lifecycle. When an ad is loaded, shown, closed, rewarded, or generates revenue, the appropriate analytics events are sent automatically by the SDK.

The diagram below shows the standard analytics flow handled by Lion Ads.

At a high level:

• a try show event is sent when an interstitial or rewarded ad is attempted

• a load event is sent when an ad finishes loading

• a revenue event is sent when ad revenue is reported by MAX

• an end event is sent when the ad closes

• a reward collect event is sent for rewarded ads only

Additional metrics such as ad availability rate, time to fill, and ad view time are also included where supported.

Events Sent Automatically

Lion Analytics

Lion Ads automatically sends the following Lion Analytics events:

Interstitial

• InterstitialTryShow

• InterstitialLoad

• InterstitialEnd

• InterstitialRevenuePaid

Rewarded

• RewardVideoTryShow

• RewardVideoLoad

• RewardVideoEnd

• RewardVideoCollect

• RewardVideoRevenuePaid

Banner

Adjust

Lion Ads automatically sends ad revenue events to Adjust using the MAX revenue callback.

Firebase

Lion Ads automatically sends:

• ad_impression

• custom_ad_impression

Additional Data

Lion Ads supports passing additional data through ad show calls to enrich the analytics events that are sent automatically.

This is the recommended way to include game-specific context in ad analytics without manually sending separate events.

Any additional data provided through the supported Lion Ads APIs will be included with the relevant automatically generated analytics events where applicable.

Additional Data Included Automatically

Depending on the event, Lion Ads may also attach ad metadata automatically, including:

• network

• creative ID

• revenue

• ad unit

• shown

• ad availability rate

• ad time to fill

• ad view time

This data is added automatically as part of the SDK flow.

Do Not Log These Manually

When using Lion Ads, developers should not manually log:

• Lion Analytics interstitial ad events

• Lion Analytics rewarded ad events

• Lion Analytics banner revenue events

• Adjust ad revenue events for MAX ads

• Firebase ad_impression and custom_ad_impression

These are already handled by Lion Ads.
