Value

Type

Description

mimes

array of strings

(Required) Content MIME types supported, e.g. ["video/mpeg", "video/mp4"]

minduration*

integer

(Recommended) Minimum video ad duration in seconds, for example, 2

maxduration*

integer

(Recommended) Maximum video ad duration in seconds, for example, 15

linearity*

integer

Indicates if the impression must be linear or nonlinear, for example, 1. If none is specified, it is assumed all are allowed

  • 1: Linear/In-stream

  • 2: Non-Linear/Overlay

placement*

integer

Placement type for the impression, for example 2. This can take the following values:

  • 1: In-stream. Played before, during or after the streaming video content that the consumer has requested (e.g., Pre-roll, Mid-roll, Post-roll).

  • 2: In-banner. Exists within a web banner that leverages the banner space to deliver a video experience as opposed to another static or rich media format. The format relies on the existence of display ad inventory on the page for its delivery.

  • 3: In-article. Loads and plays dynamically between paragraphs of editorial content; existing as a standalone branded message.

  • 4: In-feed. Found in content, social, or product feeds.

  • 5: Interstitial/Slider/Floating. Covers the entire or a portion of screen area, but is always on screen while displayed (i.e. cannot be scrolled out of view). Note that a full-screen interstitial (e.g., in mobile) can be distinguished from a floating/slider unit by the imp.instl field.

playbackend*

integer

The event that causes playback to end, for example 2. This field can take the following values:

  • 1: On Video Completion or when Terminated by User.

  • 2: On Leaving Viewport or when Terminated by User.

  • 3: On Leaving Viewport Continues as a Floating/Slider Unit until Video Completion or when Terminated by User.

protocols

array of integers

(Recommended) Accepted video bid response protocols as defined in OpenRTB, for example [2,5]

pos*

integer

Ad Position as defined in OpenRTB, for example 1

w*

integer

(Recommended) Width of the player in pixels, for example, 600

h*

integer

(Recommended) Height of the player in pixels, for example 400

startdelay*

integer

(Recommended) Indicates the start delay in seconds. If the start delay value is greater than 0, then the position is mid-roll and the value indicates the start delay.

  • > 0: Mid-Roll (value indicates start delay in second)

  • 0: Pre-roll

  • -1: Generic mid-roll

  • -2: Generic post-roll

battr*

array of integers

Blocked creative attributes as defined in OpenRTB, for example, [6]

minbitrate*

integer

Minimum bit rate in Kbps, for example 680

maxbitrate*

integer

Maximum bit rate in Kbps, for example 990

api*

array of integers

List of supported API frameworks for this impression as defined in OpenRTB, for example, [1,2]. If an API is not explicitly listed, it is assumed not to be supported.

maxextended*

integer

Maximum extended video ad duration if extension is allowed.

  • Blank or 0, extension is not allowed.

  • -1, extension is allowed, and there is no time limit imposed.

  • Greater than 0, then the value represents the number of seconds of extended play supported beyond the maxduration value.

boxingallowed*

integer

Indicates if letter-boxing of 4:3 content into a 16:9 window is allowed:

  • 0 = no

  • 1 = yes.

playbackmethod*

array of integers

Allowed playback methods as defined in the OpenRTB, for example [1, 2]. If none are specified, it is assumed all are allowed.

delivery*

array of integers

Supported delivery methods (e.g., streaming, progressive) as defined in OpenRTB. If none specified, assume all are supported, for example, [1, 2]

sequence*

integer

If multiple ad impressions are offered in the same bid request, the sequence number will allow for the coordinated delivery of multiple creatives, for example, 2.

companionad*

object array

Array of Banner objects if companion ads are available. See the Banner Object section for more information.

companiontype*

array of integers

List of allowed companion ad types, for example [1, 2] Possible values:

  • 1: Static Resource

  • 2: HTML Resource

  • 3: iframe Resource

skip*

integer

Indicates if the player will allow the video to be skipped, where 0 = no, 1 = yes.

skipmin*

integer

Videos of a total duration greater than this value (seconds) can be skippable; only applicable if the ad is skippable.

skipafter*

integer

Number of seconds a video must play before skipping is enabled; only applicable if the ad is skippable.
