unique id of Ad Tag Waterfall

Hi, is there any way how to parse any unique id of Ad Tag Waterfall into the ad tag urls? Something like __random-number__ but same for all urls in watterfall...
e.g.
"advertising.adtag.pre.autoplay": [
"http://great-video-adserver.com/getAd?tagid=58703e5e-0ebd-48ae-8405-0cbe0723e96f&watterfallid=__unique_watterfall_id__",
"http://another-great-video-adserver.com/getAd?tagid=58703e5e-0ebd-48ae-8405-0cbe0723e96f&watterfallid=__unique_watterfall_id__"
]

Thank you very much for any answer...

Hi Jiri,

You will most likely want to add the macro random-number to your ad tag, which will provide that unique ‘id’ you are looking for. Please see our documentation here, and let me know if this helps:

Hello Heidi, thank you. But as I wrote in the question - I know about random-number macro. I need to identify the instance of the whole watterfall (per the whole reuqest for ad on adSlot), not only the one call of watterfall...
e.g.
http://great-video-adserver.com/getAd?tagid=58703e5e-0ebd-48ae-8405-0cbe0723e96f&watterfallid=555
http://another-great-video-adserver.com/getAd?tagid=58703e5e-0ebd-48ae-8405-0cbe0723e96f&watterfallid=555

Hi Jiri,

Thanks for the clarification. In that case, adding a custom parameter to your ad tag would probably work best. You may either add these via the dashboard in the Video detail pages, or add it to your player configuration (using the cloud-hosted or self-hosted player):

advertising.schedule.adbreak.custParams Object Allows for passing custom parameters to an ad break, which then pass through to the URL requested from the ad server

Does this look more like what you are trying to do?
