Step 8. Paste VAST url from Adap.TV and Change macros. VERY IMPORTANT! MACROS MUST BE CORRECT!!!

 

Current ARENA supported parameters:

 

• PageURL=[page_url] - page hosting tag, encoded. Very common.

       * PageURLRAW=[page_url_raw] - page hosting tag. This is similar to above and would be specifically requested from the partner. Not often used.

• RandomNumber=[random_number] - random number. Not often used.

• CacheBuster=[timestamp] - timestamp - this is the one that should be used to cache breaker.

• ReferrerURL=[ref_page_url] - referrer page. This is the page the user was on before clicking to the hosting page.

 

When ARENA reads an open/close bracket set and sees a recognizable set of characters it replaces those with other characters that the receiving demand system will recognize. For example ARENA sees ‘ [page_url_raw] ‘ and replaces it with ‘  http://altitudeliftnews.com/category/video/ ]’. The demand partner then receives the raw url. Good.

 

If ARENA sees ‘ [player_page_url] ‘ it would not recognize it and would replace/do nothing.
