DAI Pod Serving is a beta intended for advanced Ad Manager publishers and video technology partners who either have an in-house manifest manipulation service or are currently using third-party manifest manipulation that's already integrated with DAI. Contact your account manager for details.
A manifest manipulator combines the ready-to-stitch ad pods from DAI Pod Serving into the content to produce one seamless stream for viewers. You can use either an in-house or a third-party manifest manipulator.
Before you configure your Ad Manager network, you need to create a service account to grant Ad Manager permissions to an in-house or third-party application.
Enable Ad Manager API and permissions
- Sign in to Google Ad Manager.
- Click Admin
Global settings.
- Ensure "API access" is enabled, and click Add a service account user.
- Complete the form, including the email address of the service account.
-
Select a role, which must allow the "Manage live stream events" permission.
It's recommended that you create a custom role specifically for management of this service account.
- Click Save and confirm the service account addition.
Integrate with the DAI Pod Serving API
The API provides access to these ready-to-stitch ad pods for the manifest manipulator to insert into the content.
