GPT Reference

This reference uses TypeScript notation to describe types. The following table provides a brief explanation by example.

Type expression
string The primitive string type.
string[] An array type, where values may only be strings.
number | string A union type, where the value may be either a number or a string.
Array<number | string> An array type, where values are a complex (union) type.
[number, string] A tuple type, where the value is a two-element array that must contain a number and a string in that order.
Slot An object type, where the value is an instance of googletag.Slot.
() => void A function type with no defined arguments and no return value.

To learn more about supported types and type expressions, refer to the TypeScript Handbook .

Type annotations

A colon after a variable, parameter name, property name, or function signature denotes a type annotation. Type annotations describe the types the element to the left of the colon can accept or return. The following table shows examples of type annotations you may see in this reference.

Type annotation
param: string Indicates that param accepts or returns a string value. This syntax is used for variables, parameters, properties, and return types.
param?: number | string Indicates that param is optional, but accepts either a number or a string when specified. This syntax is used for parameters and properties.
...params: Array<() => void> Indicates that params is a rest parameter that accepts functions. Rest parameters accept an unbounded number of values of the specified type.

Type Aliases

GeneralSize

    GeneralSize: SingleSize | MultiSize

    A valid size configuration for a slot, which can be one or multiple sizes.

MultiSize

    MultiSize: SingleSize[]

    A list of single valid sizes.

NamedSize

    NamedSize: "fluid" | ["fluid"]

    Named sizes that a slot can have. In most cases size is a fixed-size rectangle but there are some cases when we need other kinds of size specifications. Only the following are valid named sizes:

    • fluid: the ad container takes 100% width of parent div and then resizes its height to fit creative content. Similar to how regular block elements on a page behave. Used for native ads (see related article). Note that both fluid and ['fluid'] are acceptable forms to declare a slot size as fluid.

SingleSize

SingleSizeArray

    SingleSizeArray: [number, number]

    Array of two numbers representing [width, height].

SizeMapping

SizeMappingArray

    SizeMappingArray: SizeMapping[]

    A list of size mappings.

Variables

Const apiReady

    apiReady: boolean | undefined

    Flag indicating that the GPT API is loaded and ready to be called. This property will be simply undefined until the API is ready.

    Note that the recommended way of handling async is to use googletag.cmd to queue callbacks for when GPT is ready. These callbacks do not have to check googletag.apiReady as they are guaranteed to execute once the API is set up.

Const cmd

    cmd: ((this: typeof globalThis) => void)[] | CommandArray

    Reference to the global command queue for asynchronous execution of GPT-related calls.

    The googletag.cmd variable is initialized to an empty JavaScript array by the GPT tag syntax on the page, and cmd.push is the standard Array.push method that adds an element to the end of the array. When the GPT JavaScript is loaded, it looks through the array and executes all the functions in order. The script then replaces cmd with a CommandArray object whose push method is defined to execute the function argument passed to it. This mechanism allows GPT to reduce perceived latency by fetching the JavaScript asynchronously while allowing the browser to continue rendering the page.

    Example

    JavaScript

    googletag.cmd.push(() => {
  googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [160, 600]).addService(googletag.pubads());
});

    JavaScript (legacy)

    googletag.cmd.push(function () {
  googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [160, 600]).addService(googletag.pubads());
});

    TypeScript

    googletag.cmd.push(() => {
  googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [160, 600])!.addService(googletag.pubads());
});

Const pubadsReady

    pubadsReady: boolean | undefined

    Flag indicating that PubAdsService is enabled, loaded and fully operational. This property will be simply undefined until enableServices is called and PubAdsService is loaded and initialized.

secureSignalProviders

    secureSignalProviders: SecureSignalProvider[] | SecureSignalProvidersArray | undefined

    Reference to the secure signal providers array.

    The secure signal providers array accepts a sequence of signal-generating functions and invokes them in order. It is intended to replace a standard array that is used to enqueue signal-generating functions to be invoked once GPT is loaded.

    Example

    JavaScript

    window.googletag = window.googletag || { cmd: [] };
googletag.secureSignalProviders = googletag.secureSignalProviders || [];
googletag.secureSignalProviders.push({
  id: "collector123",
  collectorFunction: () => {
    return Promise.resolve("signal");
  },
});

    JavaScript (legacy)

    window.googletag = window.googletag || { cmd: [] };
googletag.secureSignalProviders = googletag.secureSignalProviders || [];
googletag.secureSignalProviders.push({
  id: "collector123",
  collectorFunction: function () {
    return Promise.resolve("signal");
  },
});

    TypeScript

    window.googletag = window.googletag || { cmd: [] };
googletag.secureSignalProviders = googletag.secureSignalProviders || [];
googletag.secureSignalProviders.push({
  id: "collector123",
  collectorFunction: () => {
    return Promise.resolve("signal");
  },
});

Functions

companionAds

defineOutOfPageSlot

    defineOutOfPageSlot(adUnitPath: string, div?: string | OutOfPageFormat): Slot | null

    Constructs an out-of-page ad slot with the given ad unit path.

    For custom out-of-page ads, div is the ID of the div element that will contain the ad. See the article on out-of-page creatives for more details.

    For GPT managed out-of-page ads, div is a supported OutOfPageFormat.

    Example

    JavaScript

    // Define a custom out-of-page ad slot.
googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot("/1234567/sports", "div-1");

// Define a GPT managed web interstitial ad slot.
googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot("/1234567/sports", googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL);

    JavaScript (legacy)

    // Define a custom out-of-page ad slot.
googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot("/1234567/sports", "div-1");

// Define a GPT managed web interstitial ad slot.
googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot("/1234567/sports", googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL);

    TypeScript

    // Define a custom out-of-page ad slot.
googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot("/1234567/sports", "div-1");

// Define a GPT managed web interstitial ad slot.
googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot("/1234567/sports", googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL);
    See also
    Parameters
    adUnitPath: stringFull ad unit path with the network code and ad unit code.
    Optional div: string | OutOfPageFormatID of the div that will contain this ad unit or OutOfPageFormat.
    Returns
    Slot | nullThe newly created slot, or null if a slot cannot be created.

defineSlot

    defineSlot(adUnitPath: string, size: GeneralSize, div?: string): Slot | null

    Constructs an ad slot with a given ad unit path and size and associates it with the ID of a div element on the page that will contain the ad.

    Example

    JavaScript

    googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [728, 90], "div-1");

    JavaScript (legacy)

    googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [728, 90], "div-1");

    TypeScript

    googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [728, 90], "div-1");
    See also
    Parameters
    adUnitPath: stringFull ad unit path with the network code and unit code.
    size: GeneralSizeWidth and height of the added slot. This is the size that is used in the ad request if no responsive size mapping is provided or the size of the viewport is smaller than the smallest size provided in the mapping.
    Optional div: stringID of the div that will contain this ad unit.
    Returns
    Slot | nullThe newly created slot, or null if a slot cannot be created.

destroySlots

    destroySlots(slots?: Slot[]): boolean

    Destroys the given slots, removing all related objects and references of those slots from GPT. This API does not support passback slots and companion slots.

    Calling this API on a slot clears the ad and removes the slot object from the internal state maintained by GPT. Calling any more functions on the slot object will result in undefined behavior. Note the browser may still not free the memory associated with that slot if a reference to it is maintained by the publisher page. Calling this API makes the div associated with that slot available for reuse.

    In particular, destroying a slot removes the ad from GPT's long-lived pageview, so future requests will not be influenced by roadblocks or competitive exclusions involving this ad. Failure to call this function before removing a slot's div from the page will result in undefined behavior.

    Example

    JavaScript

    // The calls to construct an ad and display contents.
const slot1 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [728, 90], "div-1");
googletag.display("div-1");
const slot2 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/news", [160, 600], "div-2");
googletag.display("div-2");

// This call to destroy only slot1.
googletag.destroySlots([slot1]);

// This call to destroy both slot1 and slot2.
googletag.destroySlots([slot1, slot2]);

// This call to destroy all slots.
googletag.destroySlots();

    JavaScript (legacy)

    // The calls to construct an ad and display contents.
var slot1 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [728, 90], "div-1");
googletag.display("div-1");
var slot2 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/news", [160, 600], "div-2");
googletag.display("div-2");

// This call to destroy only slot1.
googletag.destroySlots([slot1]);

// This call to destroy both slot1 and slot2.
googletag.destroySlots([slot1, slot2]);

// This call to destroy all slots.
googletag.destroySlots();

    TypeScript

    // The calls to construct an ad and display contents.
const slot1 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [728, 90], "div-1")!;
googletag.display("div-1");
const slot2 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/news", [160, 600], "div-2")!;
googletag.display("div-2");

// This call to destroy only slot1.
googletag.destroySlots([slot1]);

// This call to destroy both slot1 and slot2.
googletag.destroySlots([slot1, slot2]);

// This call to destroy all slots.
googletag.destroySlots();
    Parameters
    Optional slots: Slot[]The array of slots to destroy. Array is optional; all slots will be destroyed if it is unspecified.
    Returns
    booleantrue if slots have been destroyed, false otherwise.

disablePublisherConsole

display

    display(divOrSlot: string | Element | Slot): void

    Instructs slot services to render the slot. Each ad slot should only be displayed once per page. All slots must be defined and have a service associated with them before being displayed. The display call must not happen until the element is present in the DOM. The usual way to achieve that is to place it within a script block within the div element named in the method call.

    If single request architecture (SRA) is being used, all unfetched ad slots at the time this method is called will be fetched at once. To force an ad slot not to display, the entire div must be removed.

    See also
    Parameters
    divOrSlot: string | Element | SlotEither the ID of the div element containing the ad slot or the div element, or the slot object. If a div element is provided, it must have an 'id' attribute which matches the ID passed into defineSlot.

enableServices

    enableServices(): void

    Enables all GPT services that have been defined for ad slots on the page.

getVersion

    getVersion(): string

    Returns the current version of GPT.

    See also
    Returns
    stringThe currently executing GPT version string.

openConsole

    openConsole(div?: string): void

    Opens the Google Publisher Console.

    Example

    JavaScript

    // Calling with div ID.
googletag.openConsole("div-1");

// Calling without div ID.
googletag.openConsole();

    JavaScript (legacy)

    // Calling with div ID.
googletag.openConsole("div-1");

// Calling without div ID.
googletag.openConsole();

    TypeScript

    // Calling with div ID.
googletag.openConsole("div-1");

// Calling without div ID.
googletag.openConsole();
    See also
    Parameters
    Optional div: stringAn ad slot div ID. This value is optional. When provided, the Publisher Console will attempt to open with details of the specified ad slot in view.

pubads

setAdIframeTitle

    setAdIframeTitle(title: string): void

    Sets the title for all ad container iframes created by PubAdsService, from this point onwards.

    Example

    JavaScript

    googletag.setAdIframeTitle("title");

    JavaScript (legacy)

    googletag.setAdIframeTitle("title");

    TypeScript

    googletag.setAdIframeTitle("title");
    Parameters
    title: stringThe new title for all ad container iframes.

googletag.CommandArray

The command array accepts a sequence of functions and invokes them in order. It is intended to replace a standard array that is used to enqueue functions to be invoked once GPT is loaded.
Methods
push
Executes the sequence of functions specified in the arguments in order.

Methods

push

    push(...f: ((this: typeof globalThis) => void)[]): number

    Executes the sequence of functions specified in the arguments in order.

    Example

    JavaScript

    googletag.cmd.push(() => {

    Returns
    numberThe number of commands processed so far. This is compatible with Array.push's return value (the current length of the array).

googletag.CompanionAdsService

Extends Service
Companion Ads service. This service is used by video ads to show companion ads.
Methods
addEventListener
Registers a listener that allows you to set up and call a JavaScript function when a specific GPT event happens on the page.
getSlots
Get the list of slots associated with this service.
removeEventListener
Removes a previously registered listener.
setRefreshUnfilledSlots
Sets whether companion slots that have not been filled will be automatically backfilled.
See also

Methods

setRefreshUnfilledSlots

    setRefreshUnfilledSlots(value: boolean): void

    Sets whether companion slots that have not been filled will be automatically backfilled.

    This method can be called multiple times during the page's lifetime to turn backfill on and off. Only slots that are also registered with the PubAdsService will be backfilled. Due to policy restrictions, this method is not designed to fill empty companion slots when an Ad Exchange video is served.

    Example

    JavaScript

    googletag.companionAds().setRefreshUnfilledSlots(true);

    JavaScript (legacy)

    googletag.companionAds().setRefreshUnfilledSlots(true);

    TypeScript

    googletag.companionAds().setRefreshUnfilledSlots(true);
    Parameters
    value: booleantrue to automatically backfill unfilled slots, false to leave them unchanged.

googletag.PrivacySettingsConfig

Configuration object for privacy settings.
Properties
childDirectedTreatment?
Indicates whether the page should be treated as child-directed.
limitedAds?
Enables serving to run in limited ads mode to aid in publisher regulatory compliance needs.
nonPersonalizedAds?
Enables serving to run in non-personalized ads mode to aid in publisher regulatory compliance needs.
restrictDataProcessing?
Enables serving to run in restricted processing mode to aid in publisher regulatory compliance needs.
trafficSource?
Indicates whether requests represent purchased or organic traffic.

Properties

Optional childDirectedTreatment

    childDirectedTreatment?: null | boolean

    Indicates whether the page should be treated as child-directed. Set to null to clear the configuration.

Optional limitedAds

    limitedAds?: boolean

    Enables serving to run in limited ads mode to aid in publisher regulatory compliance needs.

    You can instruct GPT to request limited ads in two ways:

    • Automatically, by using a signal from an IAB TCF v2.0 consent management platform.
    • Manually, by setting the value of this field to true.
    Manually configuring limited ads is only possible when GPT is loaded from the limited ads URL. Attempting to modify this setting when GPT has been loaded from the standard URL will generate a Publisher Console warning.

    Note that it is not necessary to manually enable limited ads when a CMP is in use.

    Example

    JavaScript

    // Manually enable limited ads serving.
// GPT must be loaded from the limited ads URL to configure this setting.
googletag.pubads().setPrivacySettings({
  limitedAds: true,
});

    JavaScript (legacy)

    // Manually enable limited ads serving.
// GPT must be loaded from the limited ads URL to configure this setting.
googletag.pubads().setPrivacySettings({
  limitedAds: true,
});

    TypeScript

    // Manually enable limited ads serving.
// GPT must be loaded from the limited ads URL to configure this setting.
googletag.pubads().setPrivacySettings({
  limitedAds: true,
});

    Enables serving to run in non-personalized ads mode to aid in publisher regulatory compliance needs.

Optional restrictDataProcessing

    restrictDataProcessing?: boolean

    Enables serving to run in restricted processing mode to aid in publisher regulatory compliance needs.

Optional trafficSource

    trafficSource?: TrafficSource

    Indicates whether requests represent purchased or organic traffic. This value populates the Traffic source dimension in Ad Manager reporting. If not set, traffic source defaults to undefined in reporting.

    Example

    JavaScript

    // Indicate requests represent organic traffic.
googletag.pubads().setPrivacySettings({
  trafficSource: googletag.enums.TrafficSource.ORGANIC,
});

// Indicate requests represent purchased traffic.
googletag.pubads().setPrivacySettings({
  trafficSource: googletag.enums.TrafficSource.PURCHASED,
});

    JavaScript (legacy)

    // Indicate requests represent organic traffic.
googletag.pubads().setPrivacySettings({
  trafficSource: googletag.enums.TrafficSource.ORGANIC,
});

// Indicate requests represent purchased traffic.
googletag.pubads().setPrivacySettings({
  trafficSource: googletag.enums.TrafficSource.PURCHASED,
});

    TypeScript

    // Indicate requests represent organic traffic.
googletag.pubads().setPrivacySettings({
  trafficSource: googletag.enums.TrafficSource.ORGANIC,
});

// Indicate requests represent purchased traffic.

Methods

clear

    clear(slots?: Slot[]): boolean

    Removes the ads from the given slots and replaces them with blank content. The slots will be marked as unfetched.

    In particular, clearing a slot removes the ad from GPT's long-lived pageview, so future requests will not be influenced by roadblocks or competitive exclusions involving this ad.

    Example

    JavaScript

    const slot1 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [728, 90], "div-1");
googletag.display("div-1");
const slot2 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/news", [160, 600], "div-2");
googletag.display("div-2");

// This call to clear only slot1.
googletag.pubads().clear([slot1]);

// This call to clear both slot1 and slot2.
googletag.pubads().clear([slot1, slot2]);

// This call to clear all slots.
googletag.pubads().clear();

    JavaScript (legacy)

    var slot1 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [728, 90], "div-1");
googletag.display("div-1");

googletag.display("div-1");
const slot2 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/news", [160, 600], "div-2")!;
googletag.display("div-2");

// This call to clear only slot1.
googletag.pubads().clear([slot1]);

// This call to clear both slot1 and slot2.
googletag.pubads().clear([slot1, slot2]);

// This call to clear all slots.
googletag.pubads().clear();
    Parameters
    Optional slots: Slot[]The array of slots to clear. Array is optional; all slots will be cleared if it is unspecified.
    Returns
    booleanReturns true if slots have been cleared, false otherwise.

clearCategoryExclusions

    clearCategoryExclusions(): PubAdsService

    Clears all page-level ad category exclusion labels. This is useful if you want to refresh the slot.

    Example

    JavaScript

    // Set category exclusion to exclude ads with 'AirlineAd' labels.
googletag.pubads().setCategoryExclusion("AirlineAd");

// Make ad requests. No ad with 'AirlineAd' label will be returned.

// Clear category exclusions so all ads can be returned.

// Make ad requests. Any ad can be returned.

    JavaScript (legacy)

    // Set category exclusion to exclude ads with 'AirlineAd' labels.
googletag.pubads().setCategoryExclusion("AirlineAd");

// Make ad requests. No ad with 'AirlineAd' label will be returned.

// Clear category exclusions so all ads can be returned.
googletag.pubads().clearCategoryExclusions();

// Make ad requests. Any ad can be returned.

    TypeScript

    // Set category exclusion to exclude ads with 'AirlineAd' labels.
googletag.pubads().setCategoryExclusion("AirlineAd");

// Make ad requests. No ad with 'AirlineAd' label will be returned.

// Clear category exclusions so all ads can be returned.
googletag.pubads().clearCategoryExclusions();

// Make ad requests. Any ad can be returned.
    See also
    Returns
    PubAdsServiceThe service object on which the method was called.

    See also
    Parameters
    Optional collapseBeforeAdFetch: booleanWhether to collapse the slots even before the ads are fetched. This parameter is optional; if not provided, false will be used as the default value.
    Returns
    booleanReturns true if div collapse mode was enabled and false if it is impossible to enable collapse mode because the method was called after the service was enabled.

disableInitialLoad

display

    display(adUnitPath: string, size: GeneralSize, div?: string | Element, clickUrl?: string): void

    Constructs and displays an ad slot with the given ad unit path and size. This method does not work with single request mode.

    Note: When this method is called, a snapshot of the slot and page state is created to ensure consistency when sending the ad request and rendering the response. Any changes that are made to the slot or page state after this method is called (including targeting, privacy settings, force SafeFrame, etc.) will only apply to subsequent display() or refresh() requests.

    Example

    JavaScript

    googletag.pubads().display("/1234567/sports", [728, 90], "div-1");

    JavaScript (legacy)

    googletag.pubads().display("/1234567/sports", [728, 90], "div-1");

    TypeScript

    googletag.pubads().display("/1234567/sports", [728, 90], "div-1");
    See also
    Parameters
    adUnitPath: stringThe ad unit path of slot to be rendered.
    size: GeneralSizeWidth and height of the slot.
    Optional div: string | ElementEither the ID of the div containing the slot or the div element itself.
    Optional clickUrl: stringThe click URL to use on this slot.

enableLazyLoad

    enableLazyLoad(config?: {
      fetchMarginPercent?: number;
      mobileScaling?: number;
      renderMarginPercent?: number;
    }): void

    Enables lazy loading in GPT as defined by the config object. For more detailed examples, see the Lazy loading sample.

    Note: Lazy fetching in SRA only works if all slots are outside the fetching margin.

    Example

    JavaScript

    googletag.pubads().enableLazyLoad({
  // Fetch slots within 5 viewports.
  fetchMarginPercent: 500,
  // Render slots within 2 viewports.
  renderMarginPercent: 200,
  // Double the above values on mobile.
  mobileScaling: 2.0,
});

    JavaScript (legacy)

    googletag.pubads().enableLazyLoad({
  // Fetch slots within 5 viewports.
  fetchMarginPercent: 500,
  // Render slots within 2 viewports.
  renderMarginPercent: 200,
  // Double the above values on mobile.
  mobileScaling: 2.0,
});

    TypeScript

    googletag.pubads().enableLazyLoad({
  // Fetch slots within 5 viewports.
  fetchMarginPercent: 500,
  // Render slots within 2 viewports.
  renderMarginPercent: 200,
  // Double the above values on mobile.
  mobileScaling: 2.0,
});
    See also
    Parameters
    Optional config: {
      fetchMarginPercent?: number;
      mobileScaling?: number;
      renderMarginPercent?: number;
    }    		Configuration object allows customization of lazy behavior. Any omitted configurations will use a default set by Google that will be tuned over time. To disable a particular setting, such as a fetching margin, set the value to -1.
    • fetchMarginPercent

      The minimum distance from the current viewport a slot must be before we fetch the ad as a percentage of viewport size. A value of 0 means "when the slot enters the viewport", 100 means "when the ad is 1 viewport away", and so on.
    • renderMarginPercent

      The minimum distance from the current viewport a slot must be before we render an ad. This allows for prefetching the ad, but waiting to render and download other subresources. The value works just like fetchMarginPercent as a percentage of viewport.
    • mobileScaling

      A multiplier applied to margins on mobile devices. This allows varying margins on mobile vs. desktop. For example, a value of 2.0 will multiply all margins by 2 on mobile devices, increasing the minimum distance a slot can be before fetching and rendering.

enableSingleRequest

    enableSingleRequest(): boolean

    Enables single request mode for fetching multiple ads at the same time. This requires all Publisher Ads slots to be defined and added to the PubAdsService prior to enabling the service. Single request mode must be set before the service is enabled.

    See also
    Returns
    booleanReturns true if single request mode was enabled and false if it is impossible to enable single request mode because the method was called after the service was enabled.

enableVideoAds

    enableVideoAds(): void

    Signals to GPT that video ads will be present on the page. This enables competitive exclusion constraints on display and video ads. If the video content is known, call PubAdsService.setVideoContent in order to be able to use content exclusion for display ads.

isInitialLoadDisabled

refresh

    refresh(slots?: null | Slot[], options?: {
      changeCorrelator: boolean;
    }): void

    Fetches and displays new ads for specific or all slots on the page. Works only in asynchronous rendering mode.

    For proper behavior across all browsers, calling refresh must be preceded by a call to display the ad slot. If the call to display is omitted, refresh may behave unexpectedly. If desired, the PubAdsService.disableInitialLoad method can be used to stop display from fetching an ad.

    Refreshing a slot removes the old ad from GPT's long-lived pageview, so future requests will not be influenced by roadblocks or competitive exclusions involving that ad.

    Example

    JavaScript

    const slot1 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [728, 90], "div-1");
googletag.display("div-1");
const slot2 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/news", [160, 600], "div-2");
googletag.display("div-2");

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for slot1 only.
googletag.pubads().refresh([slot1]);

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for both slot1 and slot2.
googletag.pubads().refresh([slot1, slot2]);

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for each slot.
googletag.pubads().refresh();

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for slot1, without changing
// the correlator.
googletag.pubads().refresh([slot1], { changeCorrelator: false });

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for each slot, without
// changing the correlator.
googletag.pubads().refresh(null, { changeCorrelator: false });

    JavaScript (legacy)

    var slot1 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [728, 90], "div-1");
googletag.display("div-1");
var slot2 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/news", [160, 600], "div-2");
googletag.display("div-2");

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for slot1 only.
googletag.pubads().refresh([slot1]);

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for both slot1 and slot2.
googletag.pubads().refresh([slot1, slot2]);

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for each slot.
googletag.pubads().refresh();

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for slot1, without changing
// the correlator.
googletag.pubads().refresh([slot1], { changeCorrelator: false });

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for each slot, without
// changing the correlator.
googletag.pubads().refresh(null, { changeCorrelator: false });

    TypeScript

    const slot1 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [728, 90], "div-1")!;
googletag.display("div-1");
const slot2 = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/news", [160, 600], "div-2")!;
googletag.display("div-2");

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for slot1 only.
googletag.pubads().refresh([slot1]);

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for both slot1 and slot2.
googletag.pubads().refresh([slot1, slot2]);

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for each slot.
googletag.pubads().refresh();

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for slot1, without changing
// the correlator.
googletag.pubads().refresh([slot1], { changeCorrelator: false });

// This call to refresh fetches a new ad for each slot, without
// changing the correlator.
googletag.pubads().refresh(null, { changeCorrelator: false });
    See also
    Parameters
    Optional slots: null | Slot[]The slots to refresh. Array is optional; all slots will be refreshed if it is unspecified.
    Optional options: {
      changeCorrelator: boolean;
    }    		Configuration options associated with this refresh call.
    • changeCorrelator

      Specifies whether or not a new correlator is to be generated for fetching ads. Our ad servers maintain this correlator value briefly (currently for 30 seconds, but subject to change), such that requests with the same correlator received close together will be considered a single page view. By default a new correlator is generated for every refresh.

      Note: this option has no effect on GPT's long-lived pageview, which automatically reflects the ads currently on the page and has no expiration time.

set

    set(key: string, value: string): PubAdsService

    Sets values for AdSense attributes that apply to all ad slots under the Publisher Ads service.

    Calling this more than once for the same key will override previously set values for that key. All values must be set before calling display or refresh.

    Example

    JavaScript

    googletag.pubads().set("adsense_background_color", "#FFFFFF");

    JavaScript (legacy)

    googletag.pubads().set("adsense_background_color", "#FFFFFF");

    TypeScript

    googletag.pubads().set("adsense_background_color", "#FFFFFF");
    See also
    Parameters
    key: stringThe name of the attribute.
    value: stringAttribute value.
    Returns
    PubAdsServiceThe service object on which the method was called.

setCategoryExclusion

    setCategoryExclusion(categoryExclusion: string): PubAdsService

    Sets a page-level ad category exclusion for the given label name.

    Example

    JavaScript

    // Label = AirlineAd.
googletag.pubads().setCategoryExclusion("AirlineAd");

    JavaScript (legacy)

    // Label = AirlineAd.
googletag.pubads().setCategoryExclusion("AirlineAd");

    TypeScript

    // Label = AirlineAd.
googletag.pubads().setCategoryExclusion("AirlineAd");
    See also
    Parameters
    categoryExclusion: stringThe ad category exclusion label to add.
    Returns
    PubAdsServiceThe service object on which the method was called.

setCentering

    setCentering(centerAds: boolean): void

    Enables and disables horizontal centering of ads. Centering is disabled by default. In legacy gpt_mobile.js, centering is enabled by default.

    This method should be invoked before calling display or refresh because only ads that are requested after calling this method will be centered.

    Example

    JavaScript

    // Make ads centered.
googletag.pubads().setCentering(true);

    JavaScript (legacy)

    // Make ads centered.
googletag.pubads().setCentering(true);

    TypeScript

    // Make ads centered.
googletag.pubads().setCentering(true);
    Parameters
    centerAds: booleantrue to center ads, false to left-align them.

setForceSafeFrame

    setForceSafeFrame(forceSafeFrame: boolean): PubAdsService

    Configures whether all ads on the page should be forced to be rendered using a SafeFrame container.

    Please keep the following things in mind while using this API:

    • This setting will only take effect for subsequent ad requests made for the respective slots.
    • The slot level setting, if specified, will always override the page level setting.
    • If set to true (at slot-level or page level), the ad will always be rendered using a SafeFrame container independent of the choice made in the Google Ad Manager UI.
    • However, if set to false or left unspecified, the ad will be rendered using a SafeFrame container depending on the type of creative and the selection made in the Google Ad Manager UI.
    • This API should be used with caution as it could impact the behaviour of creatives that attempt to break out of their iFrames or rely on them being rendered directly in a publishers page.
    Example

    JavaScript

    googletag.pubads().setForceSafeFrame(true);

// The following slot will be opted-out of the page-level force
// SafeFrame instruction.
googletag
  .defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [160, 600], "div-1")
  .setForceSafeFrame(false)
  .addService(googletag.pubads());

// The following slot will have SafeFrame forced.
googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/news", [160, 600], "div-2").addService(googletag.pubads());

googletag.display("div-1");
googletag.display("div-2");

    JavaScript (legacy)

    googletag.pubads().setForceSafeFrame(true);

// The following slot will be opted-out of the page-level force
// SafeFrame instruction.

  .setForceSafeFrame(false)
  .addService(googletag.pubads());

// The following slot will have SafeFrame forced.
googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/news", [160, 600], "div-2").addService(googletag.pubads());

googletag.display("div-1");
googletag.display("div-2");

    TypeScript

    googletag.pubads().setForceSafeFrame(true);

// The following slot will be opted-out of the page-level force
// SafeFrame instruction.
googletag
  .defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [160, 600], "div-1")!
  .setForceSafeFrame(false)
  .addService(googletag.pubads());

// The following slot will have SafeFrame forced.
googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/news", [160, 600], "div-2")!.addService(googletag.pubads());

googletag.display("div-1");
googletag.display("div-2");
    See also
    Parameters
    forceSafeFrame: booleantrue to force all ads on the page to be rendered in SafeFrames and false to change the previous setting to false. Setting this to false when unspecified earlier, won't change anything.

setSafeFrameConfig

    setSafeFrameConfig(config: SafeFrameConfig): PubAdsService

    Sets the page-level preferences for SafeFrame configuration. Any unrecognized keys in the config object will be ignored. The entire config will be ignored if an invalid value is passed for a recognized key.

    These page-level preferences will be overridden by slot-level preferences, if specified.

    Example

    JavaScript

    googletag.pubads().setForceSafeFrame(true);

For videoContentId and videoCmsId, use the values that are provided to the Google Ad Manager content ingestion service.

    See also
    Parameters
    videoContentId: stringThe video content ID.
    videoCmsId: stringThe video CMS ID.

updateCorrelator

    updateCorrelator(): PubAdsService

    Changes the correlator that is sent with ad requests, effectively starting a new page view. The correlator is the same for all the ad requests coming from one page view, and unique across page views. Only applies to async mode.

    Note: this has no effect on GPT's long-lived pageview, which automatically reflects the ads actually on the page and has no expiration time.

    Example

    JavaScript

    // Assume that the correlator is currently 12345. All ad requests made
// by this page will currently use that value.

// Replace the current correlator with a new correlator.
googletag.pubads().updateCorrelator();

// The correlator will now be a new randomly selected value, different
// from 12345. All subsequent ad requests made by this page will use
// the new value.

    JavaScript (legacy)

    // Assume that the correlator is currently 12345. All ad requests made
// by this page will currently use that value.

// Replace the current correlator with a new correlator.
googletag.pubads().updateCorrelator();

// The correlator will now be a new randomly selected value, different
// from 12345. All subsequent ad requests made by this page will use
// the new value.

    TypeScript

    // Assume that the correlator is currently 12345. All ad requests made
// by this page will currently use that value.

// Replace the current correlator with a new correlator.
googletag.pubads().updateCorrelator();

// The correlator will now be a new randomly selected value, different
// from 12345. All subsequent ad requests made by this page will use
// the new value.

googletag.Service

Base service class that contains methods common for all services.
Methods
addEventListener
Registers a listener that allows you to set up and call a JavaScript function when a specific GPT event happens on the page.
getSlots
Get the list of slots associated with this service.
removeEventListener
Removes a previously registered listener.

Methods

addEventListener

    addEventListener<K extends keyof EventTypeMap>(eventType: K, listener: ((arg: EventTypeMap[K]) => void)): Service

    Registers a listener that allows you to set up and call a JavaScript function when a specific GPT event happens on the page. The following events are supported:

    An object of the appropriate event type is passed to the listener when it is called.
    Example

    JavaScript

    // 1. Adding an event listener for the PubAdsService.
googletag.pubads().addEventListener("slotOnload", (event) => {
  console.log("Slot has been loaded:");
  console.log(event);
});

// 2. Adding an event listener with slot specific logic.
// Listeners operate at service level, which means that you cannot add
// a listener for an event for a specific slot only. You can, however,
// programmatically filter a listener to respond only to a certain ad
// slot, using this pattern:
const targetSlot = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/example", [160, 600]);
googletag.pubads().addEventListener("slotOnload", (event) => {
  if (event.slot === targetSlot) {
    // Slot specific logic.
  }
});

    JavaScript (legacy)

    // 1. Adding an event listener for the PubAdsService.
googletag.pubads().addEventListener("slotOnload", function (event) {
  console.log("Slot has been loaded:");
  console.log(event);
});

// 2. Adding an event listener with slot specific logic.
// Listeners operate at service level, which means that you cannot add
// a listener for an event for a specific slot only. You can, however,
// programmatically filter a listener to respond only to a certain ad
// slot, using this pattern:
var targetSlot = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/example", [160, 600]);
googletag.pubads().addEventListener("slotOnload", function (event) {
  if (event.slot === targetSlot) {
    // Slot specific logic.
  }
});

    TypeScript

    // 1. Adding an event listener for the PubAdsService.

setConfig

setForceSafeFrame

    setForceSafeFrame(forceSafeFrame: boolean): Slot

    Configures whether ads in this slot should be forced to be rendered using a SafeFrame container.

    Please keep the following things in mind while using this API:

    • This setting will only take effect for subsequent ad requests made for the respective slots.
    • The slot level setting, if specified, will always override the page level setting.
    • If set to true (at slot-level or page level), the ad will always be rendered using a SafeFrame container independent of the choice made in the Google Ad Manager UI.
    • However, if set to false or left unspecified, the ad will be rendered using a SafeFrame container depending on the type of creative and the selection made in the Google Ad Manager UI.
    • This API should be used with caution as it could impact the behaviour of creatives that attempt to break out of their iFrames or rely on them being rendered directly in a publishers page.
    Example

    JavaScript

    googletag
  .defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [160, 600], "div")
  .setForceSafeFrame(true)
  .addService(googletag.pubads());

    JavaScript (legacy)

    googletag
  .defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [160, 600], "div")
  .setForceSafeFrame(true)
  .addService(googletag.pubads());

    TypeScript

    googletag
  .defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [160, 600], "div")!
  .setForceSafeFrame(true)
  .addService(googletag.pubads());
    See also
    Parameters
    forceSafeFrame: booleantrue to force all ads in this slot to be rendered in SafeFrames and false to opt-out of a page-level setting (if present). Setting this to false when not specified at the page-level won't change anything.
    Returns
    SlotThe slot object on which the method was called.

setSafeFrameConfig

    setSafeFrameConfig(config: null | SafeFrameConfig): Slot

    Sets the slot-level preferences for SafeFrame configuration. Any unrecognized keys in the config object will be ignored. The entire config will be ignored if an invalid value is passed for a recognized key.

    These slot-level preferences, if specified, will override any page-level preferences.

    Example

    JavaScript

    googletag.pubads().setForceSafeFrame(true);

// The following slot will have a sandboxed safeframe that only
// disallows top-level navigation.
googletag
  .defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [160, 600], "div-1")
  .setSafeFrameConfig({ sandbox: true })
  .addService(googletag.pubads());

// The following slot will inherit page-level settings.
googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/news", [160, 600], "div-2").addService(googletag.pubads());

googletag.display("div-1");
googletag.display("div-2");

    JavaScript (legacy)

    googletag.pubads().setForceSafeFrame(true);

// The following slot will have a sandboxed safeframe that only
// disallows top-level navigation.
googletag
  .defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [160, 600], "div-1")
  .setSafeFrameConfig({ sandbox: true })
  .addService(googletag.pubads());

// The following slot will inherit page-level settings.
googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/news", [160, 600], "div-2").addService(googletag.pubads());

googletag.display("div-1");
googletag.display("div-2");

    TypeScript

    googletag.pubads().setForceSafeFrame(true);

// The following slot will have a sandboxed safeframe that only
// disallows top-level navigation.
googletag
  .defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [160, 600], "div-1")!
  .setSafeFrameConfig({ sandbox: true })
  .addService(googletag.pubads());

// The following slot will inherit page-level settings.
googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/news", [160, 600], "div-2")!.addService(googletag.pubads());

googletag.display("div-1");

    Returns
    SlotThe slot object on which the method was called.

setTargeting

    setTargeting(key: string, value: string | string[]): Slot

    Example

    JavaScript

    const slot = googletag
  .defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [160, 600], "div")
  .addService(googletag.pubads());

slot.setTargeting("allow_expandable", "true");

// Example with multiple values for a key inside in an array.
slot.setTargeting("interests", ["sports", "music"]);

    JavaScript (legacy)

    var slot = googletag
  .defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [160, 600], "div")
  .addService(googletag.pubads());

// Example with a single value for a key.
slot.setTargeting("allow_expandable", "true");

updateTargetingFromMap

    updateTargetingFromMap(map: {
      [adUnitPath: string]: string | string[];
    }): Slot

    Sets custom targeting parameters for this slot, from a key:value map in a JSON object. This is the same as calling Slot.setTargeting for all the key values of the object. These keys are defined in your Google Ad Manager account.

    Notes:

    • In case of overwriting, only the last value will be kept.
    • If the value is an array, any previous value will be overwritten, not merged.
    • Values set here will overwrite targeting parameters set at the service-level.
    Example

    JavaScript

    const slot = googletag.defineSlot("/1234567/sports", [160, 600], "div");

slot.updateTargetingFromMap({
  color: "red",
  interests: ["sports", "music", "movies"],

googletag.config.PageSettingsConfig

Main configuration interface for page-level settings.

Allows setting multiple features with a single API call.

All properties listed below are examples and do not reflect actual features that utilize setConfig. For the set of features, see fields within the PageSettingsConfig type below.

Examples:
  • Only features specified in the googletag.setConfig call are modified. 
      // Configure feature alpha.
  googletag.setConfig({
      alpha: {...}
  });

  // Configure feature bravo. Feature alpha is unchanged.
  googletag.setConfig({
     bravo: {...}
  });
  • All settings for a given feature are updated with each call to googletag.setConfig. 
      // Configure feature charlie to echo = 1, foxtrot = true.
  googletag.setConfig({
      charlie: {
          echo: 1,
          foxtrot: true,
      }

PublisherSignalProvider
Returns a secure signal for a specific publisher.
SecureSignalProvidersArray
An interface for managing secure signals.
Type Aliases
SecureSignalProvider
Interface for returning a secure signal for a specific bidder or provider.

Type Aliases

SecureSignalProvider

googletag.secureSignals.BidderSignalProvider

Returns a secure signal for a specific bidder.

A bidder secure signal provider consists of 2 parts:

  1. A collector function, which returns a Promise that resolves to a secure signal.
  2. An id which identifies the bidder associated with the signal.
To return a secure signal for a publisher, use secureSignals.PublisherSignalProvider instead.
Properties
collectorFunction
A function which returns a Promise that resolves to a secure signal.
id
A unique identifier for the collector associated with this secure signal, as registered in Google Ad Manager.
Example

JavaScript

// id is provided
googletag.secureSignalProviders.push({
  id: "collector123",
  collectorFunction: () => {
    // ...custom signal generation logic...
    return Promise.resolve("signal");
  },
});

JavaScript (legacy)

// id is provided
googletag.secureSignalProviders.push({
  id: "collector123",
  collectorFunction: function () {
    // ...custom signal generation logic...
    return Promise.resolve("signal");
  },
});

TypeScript

// id is provided
googletag.secureSignalProviders!.push({
  id: "collector123",
  collectorFunction: () => {
    // ...custom signal generation logic...
    return Promise.resolve("signal");
  },
});

googletag.secureSignals.PublisherSignalProvider

Returns a secure signal for a specific publisher.

A publisher signal provider consists of 2 parts:

  1. A collector function, which returns a Promise that resolves to a secure signal.
  2. A networkCode which identifies the publisher associated with the signal.
To return a secure signal for a bidder, use secureSignals.BidderSignalProvider instead.
Properties
collectorFunction
A function which returns a Promise that resolves to a secure signal.
networkCode
The network code (as seen in the ad unit path) for the publisher associated with this secure signal.
Example

JavaScript

// networkCode is provided
googletag.secureSignalProviders.push({
  networkCode: "123456",

googletag.secureSignals.SecureSignalProvidersArray

An interface for managing secure signals.
Methods
clearAllCache
Clears all signals for all collectors from cache.
push
Adds a new secureSignals.SecureSignalProvider to the signal provider array and begins the signal generation process.

Methods

clearAllCache

    clearAllCache(): void

    Clears all signals for all collectors from cache.

    Calling this method may reduce the likelihood of signals being included in ad requests for the current and potentially later page views. Due to this, it should only be called when meaningful state changes occur, such as events that indicate a new user (log in, log out, sign up, etc.).
