FLEDGE: experiment and participate
Quick guide to implement and test the API. Set up privacy-preserving ad auctions to serve remarketing and custom audience use cases.
Learn the essentials
If you're a developer or software engineer, the FLEDGE API Developer Guide provides an in-depth technical reference to the proposal.
The FLEDGE API is a less technical overview, and also has a glossary.
Try the API
Not all users may be eligible for the Privacy Sandbox Relevance and Measurement origin trial, even on pages that provide a valid trial token.
Testing the Privacy Sandbox ads relevance and measurement APIs explains why this is so, and shows how you can (and should) detect if an origin trial feature is available before attempting to use it.
- Try the demo. This provides a walkthrough of a basic FLEDGE implementation. The FLEDGE demo video explains how the demo code works, and shows how to use Chrome DevTools for FLEDGE debugging.
- Check the Privacy Sandbox status page for updates on the implementation status of the FLEDGE API.
- Experiment with the API:
- FLEDGE API developer guide explains how to take part in the Privacy Sandbox Relevance and Measurement origin trial.
- Try out FLEDGE for a single user by enabling
chrome://flags/#privacy-sandbox-ads-apis
or by running Chrome from the command line with FLEDGE feature flags. - The developer guide also provides a reference guide to API methods and parameters.
- The source code for the FLEDGE demo provides a starting point for your own experimentation.
- Debug FLEDGE worklets explains how to use Chrome DevTools to help debug FLEDGE bidding and auction code.
- The developer guide details the features supported in the latest version of Chrome. The API explainer provides more detailabout feature support and constraints.
