# Trafficking a CTV/OLV Creative and Accessing VAST URLs

This article will explain the procedure on how to get the VAST Tags from a CTV/OLV creative for trafficking in your Ad Server / DSP.

Nova's CTV and OLV creatives are trafficked using VAST tags and we support all major versions of VAST: 

- v2.0 (2012)
- v3.0 (2012)
- v4.0 (2016)
- v4.1 (2018)
- v4.2 (2019)

### Procedure

 

- To obtain the VAST Tags, you must Render the creative.

- Find the creative on the Dashboard or Campaign page, and click the ***Ad Tag*** button.![](https://help.novastudio.ai/hubfs/Screenshot%20(2196)-png.png)
- Locate the correct version of the VAST URL for your desired DSP / Ad Server, and click the ***Copy to Clipboard*** button.

If you are unsure which VAST version to use, consult your DSP / Ad Server documentation. After that, if you’re still unsure, try the highest version and work your way down.

 

- Paste the VAST URL into your DSP / Ad Server as a **Third Party Video Creative**.
