`+ configureWithAppID:zoneIDs:options:completion:`

Configures AdColony specifically for your app; required for usage of the rest of the API.

+ (void)configureWithAppID:(NSString *)appID zoneIDs:(NSArray<NSString*> *)zoneIDs options:(nullable AdColonyAppOptions *)options completion:(nullable void ( ^ ) ( NSArray<AdColonyZone*> *zones ))completion

Parameters

`appID`	The AdColony app ID for your app.
`zoneIDs`	An array of at least one AdColony zone ID string.
`options`	(optional) Configuration options for your app.
`completion`	(optional) A block of code to be executed upon completion of the configuration operation. Dispatched on main thread.

Discussion

This method returns immediately; any long-running work such as network connections are performed in the background. AdColony does not begin preparing ads for display or performing reporting until after it is configured by your app. The required appID and zoneIDs parameters for this method can be created and retrieved at the Control Panel. If either of these are nil, app will be unable to play ads and AdColony will only provide limited reporting and install-tracking functionality. Please note the completion handler. You should not start requesting ads until it has fired. If there is a configuration error, the set of zones passed to the completion handler will be nil.

`+ requestInterstitialInZone:options:success:failure:`

Requests an AdColonyInterstitial.

+ (void)requestInterstitialInZone:(NSString *)zoneID options:(nullable AdColonyAdOptions *)options success:(void ( ^ ) ( AdColonyInterstitial *ad ))success failure:(nullable void ( ^ ) ( AdColonyAdRequestError *error ))failure

Parameters

`zoneID`	The AdColony zone identifier string indicating which zone the ad request is for.
`options`	An AdColonyAdOptions object used to set configurable aspects of the ad request.

`failure`	(optional) A block of code to be executed if the ad request does not succeed. Dispatched on main thread.

Discussion

This method returns immediately, before the ad request completes. If the request is successful, an AdColonyInterstitial object will be passed to the success block. If the request is unsuccessful, the failure block will be called and an AdColonyAdRequestError will be passed to the handler.

`+ zoneForID:`

Retrieves an AdColonyZone object.

+ (nullable AdColonyZone *)zoneForID:(NSString *)zoneID

Parameters

`zoneID`	The AdColony zone identifier string indicating which zone to return.

Return Value

An AdColonyZone object. Returns nil if an invalid zone ID is passed.
