InMobi

Use this guide to configure InMobi bidding in CloudX.

Keep using the platform integration guides for SDK installation and ad loading:

• Android integration guide
• iOS integration guide

For platform-specific InMobi adapter requirements, see:

• Android InMobi Adapter page
• iOS InMobi Adapter page
• Unity InMobi Adapter page

Overview

Use the following values:

• InMobi Account ID in Operations -> Bidder Configuration
• InMobi placement IDs on CloudX ad units
• CloudX app_key and CloudX ad unit identifiers in app code

InMobi is different from Meta, Mintegral, and Vungle because the main InMobi account credential is configured at the bidder or account level in CloudX, not as a per-app SDK key.

CloudX collects InMobi bidder tokens internally, so you do not need to fetch InMobi bidder tokens in your app code.

Step 1. Complete InMobi-side setup

1. Sign in to your InMobi publisher account.
2. Copy your InMobi Account ID.
3. Create placements for each format you want to use.
4. Copy each placement ID.
5. Complete InMobi review and payout setup before expecting live demand.

Step 2. Enable InMobi in CloudX and add the account ID

Go to Operations -> Bidder Configuration and make sure InMobi is enabled for your account.

Enter your InMobi Account ID there. CloudX uses this account-level value when initializing the InMobi SDK.

Step 3. Configure CloudX ad units

Go to Inventory -> Ad units and add the InMobi placement mapping for each eligible ad unit.

• Use the numeric placement ID from InMobi.
• Match the placement to the correct CloudX ad-unit format.
• No separate app-level InMobi mapping is required for the standard CloudX setup.

Step 4. Add InMobi line items

Create line items for bidder InMobi on each CloudX ad unit where InMobi should compete.

• Use bidder InMobi
• Match the line item to the correct ad format
• Repeat the setup for each ad unit where InMobi should bid

Step 5. Finish app integration

Complete the integration and adapter setup for your platform:

• Android integration guide
• iOS integration guide
• Unity integration guide
• Android InMobi Adapter page
• iOS InMobi Adapter page
• Unity InMobi Adapter page

In app code:

• Initialize CloudX with the CloudX app_key
• Load ads using CloudX ad unit identifiers
• Do not pass InMobi Account IDs or placement IDs into app code
• For Interstitial and Rewarded ads, call show() only after the ad is ready

Step 6. Test and validate

1. Enable test mode for your device in CloudX.
2. Build and run the app with the CloudX app_key and the correct CloudX ad unit identifiers.
3. Request an ad from each mapped ad unit.
4. Confirm that the ad loads and that InMobi participates or wins where expected.

Troubleshooting

InMobi is not bidding

Check the following first:

• InMobi is enabled in Operations -> Bidder Configuration
• InMobi Account ID is configured in bidder settings
• The ad unit has a valid numeric InMobi placement ID
• An InMobi line item exists for the ad unit

InMobi bids but the ad does not render

Check the following:

• Your app is using the CloudX app_key, not an InMobi account credential
• Your app is loading the intended CloudX ad unit
• The placement ID is numeric and belongs to the correct InMobi format
• On iOS, the requirements from the InMobi Adapter page are complete

The placement looks correct but loads still fail

The mobile adapters expect a valid numeric placement_id. Re-check the ad-unit-level placement mapping in CloudX and make sure the value was copied without formatting changes.
