DOM-less SDK DCR Static Introduction

The Nielsen DOM-less SDK is a Javascript based cross-platform library that clients can use to integrate the Nielsen Digital Content Rating or Digital TV Rating measurement in apps for dom-less platforms like ReactNative, NodeJS etc. apps.

The Digital Content Ratings (DCR) Static product provides content consumption measurement on client mobile apps or webpages. This measurement includes insight into the total time a user spent on a webpage, how they navigated through the page via links, and many other data points. This tutorial provides the steps to implement the DCR Static product in a sample NodeJS app. It includes:

• DOM-less SDK Initialization
• DCR Static Metadata: information about the content being tracked
• DCR Static Events/API calls

By the end of this guide you will have the needed steps to integrate Nielsen's DOM-less SDK in your app.

DOM-less SDK DCR Static Step 1 - Obtain AppID

To begin using the DOM-less SDK you will need to obtain an Application ID (AppId)

	Item	Description	Source
✅	App ID (appid)	Unique ID assigned to the player/site and configured by product	Contact your Nielsen TAM

The appid is a 37 character unique ID assigned to the player/site and configured by product and is required when creating a new instance of the DOM-less SDK on the app.

Example: PXXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXX

DOM-less SDK DCR Static Step 2 - SDK Initialization

This project is an API that allows clients to integrate the Nielsen SDK in DOM-less environments like React Native, NodeJS, etc.

Refer to the " DOM-less SDK initialization " section in the DOM-less SDK API Reference Guide.

SDK Initialization

The following table contains the list of arguments that can be passed

Parameter / Argument	Description	Source	Required?	Example
appid	Unique Nielsen ID for the application. The ID is a GUID data type. If you did not receive your App ID, let us know and we will provide you.	Nielsen-specified	Yes	PXXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
instanceName	DOM-less SDK instance name	Client provided	Yes	String eg. abcdefg
appName	Application name	Client provided	Yes	appName: 'BSDK RN Sample App'
deviceId	Device ID	Client provided	Yes	deviceId: '38400000-8cf0-11bd-b23e-10b96e40000d'
nol_sdkDebug	Enables Nielsen console logging. Only required for testing	Client-provided	No	nol_sdkDebug: 'debug'
domlessEnv	Specify the domless environment. "1" for ReactNative "2" for Amazon "3" for NodeJS "4" for Custom	Client-provided	Yes	domlessEnv: '1'

Nielsen Debug Node.js Server for Event Tracking

We are excited to announce the beta version of our Debug Node.js server, designed to track requests and events sent from our Dom-less SDK using WebSocket connections. While this feature is not officially released, we are currently looking for users interested in beta testing.

If you'd like to try this tool and provide feedback, please reach out to your Nielsen Technical Account Manager (TAM) for more information. Your insights would be invaluable in helping us refine this feature for a future release!
