Overview

applovin.init() initializes the AppLovin plugin.

Once initialized, you can load an ad using applovin.load() and subsequently show it via applovin.show().

Note

This call requires your AppLovin SDK key, obtained from the AppLovin developer portal. From the Account section, expand the Account menu on the left side, select Keys, and your SDK key should be revealed.

Syntax

applovin.init( adListener, params )
adListener (required)

Listener. Listener function that will receive adsRequest events.

params (required)

Parameter Reference

The params table includes parameters for the AppLovin initialization.

verboseLogging (optional)
