The total size of your response should not exceed 50 kb
There can be 2
seatbid.bidobjects within 1seatbidobjectA response containing two bids for the same impression should contain both
bidobjects within the sameseatbid.bidarray of objects
The following bid response example contains two bids, one for $9.43 CPM and one for $5.50 CPM. Both bids target the same ad slot, both would take part in the auction and if the first one is discarded due to publisher-side blocklist then the second one would be able to win the auction.
