Behavior

The 'fake' ad network produces only a single ad request and attempts to render it via the A4A fast rendering path. It is intended only for testing and demos. To send an ad request with 'fake' ad network, it is required that the ad element to have an id value starts with i-amphtml-demo- which makes the AMP page invalid.

Like all A4A ad networks, you do not place an <amp-ad-network-fake-impl> tag directly on the page. Instead, you place an <amp-ad type="fake"> tag.

The fake implementation will fetch the creative from the given path if using the src attribute. If using the srcdoc attribute the fake impl will write the inlined document string as the test creative. Using either src or srcdoc is required.

The fake impl loads an A4A creative or an AMP creative and converts it to an A4A creative. Use a4a-conversion attribute to instruct the fake impl to perform creative conversion.

The fake impl will skip signature verification by default. To enforce this check, set checksig attribute. This can be useful to test the ad's behavior when signature verification fails.

Attributes

Fake impl largely uses the same tags as <amp-ad>. The following are special tags for fake or special behaviors of existing tags:

id Must start with i-amphtml-demo- to enable sending ad request.

type Must be "fake".

src The file source.

srcdoc Inlined text containing creative's document.

a4a-conversion To instruct the fake impl to convert creative response to A4A creative.

checksig To enforce the signature check.
