OpenRTB Integration

This guide provides information that can help you integrate with Google's OpenRTB implementation. OpenRTB's supported formats are JSON, as well as Protocol Buffers, hereafter referred to as Protobuf. The protocol reference in this guide will focus on the Protobuf format, but even if you use JSON, it is a reference for determining which OpenRTB fields are supported in Google's implementation, and learning about Google's OpenRTB extensions.

If your integration uses the JSON format, Google strongly recommends that you review OpenRTB Protobuf versus JSON Serialization to understand differences you should expect in comparison to the Protobuf reference included in this guide. You can also consult IAB's OpenRTB spec.

If your integration uses the Protobuf format, you will need to generate a library used to parse and serialize messages sent between your bidding endpoint and Google's exchange, which is based on the contents of openrtb-proto.txt and extensions found in openrtb-adx-proto.txt.

Integration considerations

You should read this section in full before starting integration testing.

Structure of this document

The tables below contain definitions of objects, including the object's name, whether or not it's required in the bid request or bid response, its equivalent in our Authorized Buyers real-time bidding protobuf, and some implementation details.

Also note that:

• The BidRequest.imp.ext.billing_id extension field represents the billing IDs of any eligible buyers and pretargeting configurations. The BidRequest.imp.pmp.deal.ext.billing_id extension field represents eligible buyers for each deal. You must include the billing ID you intend to bid on behalf of in the bid response if the bid request contains more than one billing ID. In cases where only one billing ID is in the bid request, you don't need to include it in the bid response.
• Naming in the sections below follows OpenRTB for simplicity.
• All fields will be populated in the request if available. We will never pass null values or empty strings.
• Types and descriptions from OpenRTB aren't included in the tables below; refer to the OpenRTB proto file.
• In JSON-encoded bid requests all fields typed int64 or fixed64 below will be sent as strings to prevent accuracy loss for 64-bit integer values.
• The OpenRTB JSON protocol represents all bool fields as integers in the request, where 0 represents false and 1 represents true. This is required by the OpenRTB specification.

Counting impressions and using macros

To limit discrepancies, we recommend using the BidResponse.seatbid[].bid[].ext.impression_tracking_url field for all inventory, including native.

Buyers should remove impression tracking pixels from the creative (ad markup), and include the impression_tracking_url field (string array) in the bid response instead. BidResponse.seatbid[].bid[].burl can also be used. The impression_tracking_url fires when the impression is considered billable. This provides more accuracy than tracking pixels, which can track impressions that, because of prefetching, were fetched by the app but never rendered. Use the encrypted %%WINNING_PRICE%% macro for this field, or the ${AUCTION_PRICE} macro.

Here is the list of macros supported by impression_tracking_url and burl:

• ${AUCTION_ID} - ID of the bid request; from BidRequest.id attribute.
• ${AUCTION_BID_ID} - ID of the bid; from BidResponse.bidid attribute.
• ${AUCTION_IMP_ID} - ID of the impression just won; from BidRequest.imp[].id attribute.
• ${AUCTION_SEAT_ID} - ID of the bidder seat for whom the bid was made; from BidResponse.seatbid[].seat attribute.
• ${AUCTION_AD_ID} - ID of the ad markup the bidder wants to serve; from BidResponse.seatbid[].bid[].adid attribute.
• ${AUCTION_PRICE} - Clearing price using the same currency and units as the bid. Note that this macro is currently not supported in AMP ads.

Google's OpenRTB implementation encrypts AUCTION_PRICE identically to the Authorized Buyers protocol's WINNING_PRICE macro. For more information on how to decrypt the price, refer to the Decrypt Price Confirmations guide.

VAST and video support

We support SSL URLs and the full XML for VAST ads.

Note that if video.skip=1, buyers can bid with non-skippable or skippable video creatives. We recommended opting in to Skip Correction during account setup, because in OpenRTB no distinction is made between ALLOW_SKIPPABLE and REQUIRE_SKIPPABLE.

Unsupported fields

The nurl field is currently not supported, but impression_tracking_url is supported, as is Bid.burl: Refer to the comments above.

No bid

If the client does not want to bid, the client should reply with a 204 code.

Enums

All enums can be found in the official documentation for OpenRTB and Native ads.

Extended identifier UID source types

The BidRequest.user.eids.uids field can refer to multiple types of signals. In order to determine which type a given UID represents, you should use the stype extension. The following types are currently supported:

Type	Value	Description
Publisher-provided identifiers	ppuid	UID.id contains a publisher-provided identifier, and EID.source contains a publisher ID. The publisher ID returned by EID.source is the same ID found in ads.txt, and Publisher. For example, this may be populated with a value such as pub-123.
Publisher first-party ID on app	aid	UID.id contains a publisher first-party ID on app and EID.source contains the string doubleclick.net. These IDs are scoped to the app so there will be a different value for each user and each app.
Publisher first-party ID on web	sco	UID.id contains a publisher first-party ID on web and EID.source contains the string doubleclick.net. These IDs are scoped to the domain so there will be a different value for each user and each domain.

Publisher-provided identifiers

Publisher-provided identifiers are encrypted or hashed user IDs created by the publisher that can be used for frequency capping, and interest-based targeting when third-party cookies or device IDs aren’t available. These are only sent in bid requests when enabled by the publisher, and none of the following fields are populated:

• BidRequest.device.ifa
• BidRequest.user.buyeruid
• BidRequest.user.id

Bid request variables and definitions

Ensure you have the OpenRTB Specification available while consulting this page. The specification contains information and nuances specific to the Authorized Buyers implementation. You should also follow the guidelines presented in OpenRTB when unchanged.

Note the following points on how fields are represented in the JSON bid request:

• The OpenRTB JSON protocol represents all bool fields as integers in the request, where 0 represents false and 1 represents true. This is required by the OpenRTB specification.
• In JSON-encoded bid requests, all fields typed int64 or fixed64 are sent as strings to prevent accuracy loss for 64-bit integer values.

BidRequest

The top-level bid request object contains a globally unique bid request or auction ID. This ID attribute is required, as is at least one Imp (impression) object. Other attributes in this top-level object establish rules and restrictions that apply to all impressions being offered.

There are also several subordinate objects that provide detailed data to potential buyers. Among these are the Site and App objects, which describe the type of published media in which the impressions appear. These objects are highly recommended, but only one applies to a given bid request depending on whether the media is browser-based web content or a non-browser application, respectively.

Attribute	Always passed	Type	Authorized Buyers equivalent	Supported	Implementation details
id	Yes	string	BidRequest.id		Unique ID of the bid request, provided by the exchange. OpenRTB is websafe base64 (no padding).

wseat	No	string	BidRequest.AdSlot.allowed_seat_ids		Allowlist of buyer seats (for example, advertisers, agencies) allowed to bid on this impression. IDs of seats and knowledge of the buyer's customers to which they refer must be coordinated between bidders and the exchange a priori. Omission implies no seat restrictions.
allimps	No	bool	Not supported		Option to indicate if Exchange can verify that the impressions offered represent all of the impressions available in context (for example, all on the web page, all video spots such as pre/mid/post roll) to support road-blocking. 0 = no or unknown, 1 = yes, the impressions offered represent all that are available.
cur	No	Array of string	Not supported		Array of allowed currencies for bids on this bid request using ISO-4217 alpha codes. Recommended only if the exchange accepts multiple currencies.

IDs of seats and knowledge of the buyer's customers to which they refer must be coordinated between bidders and the exchange a priori. At most, only one of wseat and bseat should be used in the same request. Omission of both implies no seat restrictions.
wlang	No	string	BidRequest .AdSlot .allowed _languages		Allowlist of languages for creatives using ISO-639-1-alpha-2. Omission implies no specific restrictions, but buyers would be advised to consider language attribute in the Device and/or Content objects if available.
source	No	Source object	Used only for extensions		A Source object that provides data about the inventory source and which entity makes the final decision.
ext	No	BidRequestExt object	Not supported		For OpenRTB/Protobuf, you can access this object with the [com.google.doubleclick.bid_request] extension key (exact path varies based on language used to generate proto library). For OpenRTB/JSON, you access with the ext field in the BidRequest message.

BidRequestExt

Refer to Real-time feedback for more information.

Attribute	Always passed	Type	Authorized Buyers equivalent	Implementation details
bid_feedback	No	Array of BidFeedback objects	BidRequest.bid_response_feedback	Feedback on bids submitted in previous responses. This is only set if real-time feedback is enabled for your bidder. Contact your account manager if you want to enable real-time feedback.
google_query_id	No	string	BidRequest.google_query_id	This represents a unique ID for the overall query. In the event that there are multiple callouts for a query, all callout requests for that query will contain the same google_query_id.
fcap_scope	Yes	FrequencyCappingScope enum	BidRequest.AdSlot.FrequencyCappingScope	Experimental feature; may be subject to change. See Set Google-hosted frequency caps for RTB bids for more information. Describes the scope of frequency cap enforcement available for this request. Frequency caps to be enforced for a bid can be specified in the Bid.ext.fcap field. FREQUENCY_CAPPING_SCOPE_UNKNOWN = 0; Default value which should not be used, or which can indicate that frequency cap scope could not be reliably determined. FREQUENCY_CAPPING_SCOPE_NONE = 1; Frequency capping based on bid response specifications is not available for this request. A frequency-capped bid for a bid request with no frequency cap availability will be filtered prior to the auction. FREQUENCY_CAPPING_SCOPE_BROWSER = 2; Frequency capping enforcement is available across multiple sites within the same browser. FREQUENCY_CAPPING_SCOPE_DEVICE = 3; Frequency capping enforcement is available across multiple sites on the device, excluding browsers. FREQUENCY_CAPPING_SCOPE_APP = 4; Frequency capping enforcement is available within a single app. FREQUENCY_CAPPING_SCOPE_SITE = 5; Frequency capping enforcement is available within a single site.
privacy_treatments	No	PrivacyTreatments object	BidRequest.privacy_treatments	Privacy treatments. Some fields in the bid request can be coarsened or redacted in order to protect user privacy. This message provides information about privacy treatments that apply to an ad opportunity offered through this request.
ae	Yes	AuctionEnvironment enum	BidRequest.supported_auction_environment	The supported auction environment for this impression. For inventory which does not support interest group bidding, this will always be set to SERVER_SIDE_AUCTION. For inventory which does support interest group bidding, this will be set to ON_DEVICE_INTEREST_GROUP_AUCTION. Note that this only indicates that the interest group auction is supported, not that it is guaranteed to execute. If no buyer chooses to participate in the interest group auction, then the interest group auction will be skipped and the winner of the contextual auction, if any, will be served instead.

BidFeedback

Feedback on bids submitted in previous responses. This is only set if real-time feedback is enabled for your bidder. Contact your account manager if you want to enable real-time feedback.

Attribute	Always passed	Type	Authorized Buyers equivalent	Implementation details
request_id	No	string	BidRequest.BidResponseFeedback.request_id.	The unique ID from BidRequest.id.
creative_status_code	No	int32	BidRequest.BidResponseFeedback.creative_status_code	The status code for the ad. See creative status codes on the Protos & Reference Data page for a list of IDs.
price	No	double	BidRequest.BidResponseFeedback.cpm_micros	If the bid won the auction, this is the price paid in your account currency. If the bid participated in the auction but was out-bid, this is the CPM that should have been exceeded in order to win. This is not set if the bid was filtered prior to the auction, if the publisher or winning bidder has opted out of price feedback or if your account has opted out of sharing winning prices with other bidders. For first-price auctions, minimum_bid_to_win is populated instead of this field.
minimum_bid_to_win	No	double	BidRequest.BidResponseFeedback.minimum_bid_to_win	The minimum bid value necessary to have won the auction, in your account currency. If your bid won the auction, this is the second highest bid that was not filtered (including the floor price). If your bid did not win the auction, this is the winning candidate's bid. This field will only be populated if your bid participated in a first-price auction, and will not be populated if your bid was filtered prior to the auction.
sscminbidtowin	No	double	BidRequest.BidResponseFeedback.server_side_component_minimum_bid_to_win	The minimum bid value necessary to have won the server-side component of the overall auction given that there was also an interest group bidding component to the overall auction which ran using the Protected Audience API. The value is expressed in CPM of the buyer account currency. The minimum bid to win for the overall auction, including bids from the server-side and the on-device interest group components, is populated in the minimum_bid_to_win field of the same BidFeedback object.
billable_event_rate_bid_adjustment	No	double	BidRequest.BidResponseFeedback.billable_event_rate_bid_adjustment	Billable event rate multiplier that was applied to this bid during ranking. The adjustment reflects the likelihood that your bid would generate a billable event (namely, the ad renders successfully) if it won the auction, relative to the probability that other bids generate a billable event if they won the auction. This adjustment can be larger or smaller than 1. This affects the final ranking in the auction only; in particular, this multiplier does not affect the payment or whether the bid clears any floor price.
sampled_mediation_cpm_ahead_of_auction_winner	No	double	BidRequest.BidResponseFeedback.sampled_mediation_cpm_ahead_of_auction_winner	When a publisher uses an RTB auction and waterfall-based SDK mediation on the same query, the winner of the real-time auction must also compete in a mediation waterfall (which is ordered by price) to win the impression. If the bid participated in the auction and there was no waterfall, the value of this field is 0. If the bid participated in the auction and there was a waterfall, the value of this field is a price representing a sample bid from the eligible mediation networks that were higher than the auction winner, weighted by expected fill rate. This field can be used in conjunction with minimum_bid_to_win to train bidding models. The CPM is in your account currency.
event_notification_token	No	EventNotificationToken object	BidRequest.BidResponseFeedback.event_notification_token	The token included in the corresponding bid.
buyer_creative_id	No	string	BidRequest.BidResponseFeedback.buyer_creative_id	The creative ID included in the corresponding bid.

EventNotificationToken

The token included in the corresponding bid.

Attribute	Always passed	Type	Authorized Buyers equivalent	Implementation details
non_personalized_ads_reason	No	NonPersonalizedAdsReason enum	BidRequest.privacy_treatments.non_personalized_ads_reason	Specifies the reasons that ads returned in response to this request should not be personalized. This signal does not reflect user decisions on surfaces including iOS App Tracking Transparency or Android advertising ID. See BidRequest.device.lmt and BidRequest.device.ext.atts fields for more information. UNKNOWN = 0; Reason unknown. PUBLISHER_DECLARED_NPA = 1; The publisher has declared that this request should serve non-personalized ads independent of other signals. RESTRICT_DATA_PROCESSING= 2; The publisher has requested restricted data processing for this request. USER_OPT_OUT = 3; The user has opted out of ads personalization.
storagerestrict	No	DeviceStorageRestrictionReason enum	BidRequest.privacy_treatments.storagerestrict	Indicates the reason why access of local device storage during winning ad rendering and measurement is restricted. See Limited ads requests for additional details. DEVICE_STORAGE_RESTRICTION_UNKNOWN = 0; Reason unknown. INSUFFICIENT_USER_CONSENT = 1; This request is subject to user consent requirements to allow for device storage access for advertising use cases such as ads measurement, frequency capping, or profiling, but consent was insufficient or not provided.
allow_user_data_collection	No	bool	BidRequest.privacy_treatments.allow_user_data_collection	True if publisher grants the permission to allow the bidder to use bid request data to build user profiles for uses such as interest-based ads and remarketing. To use this data to build user profiles, a bidder must also win a given impression. See About data collection controls.
ip	optional	IpGeneralization enum	BidRequest.privacy_treatments.ip	Generalization applied to the IP address field populated in the request (either BidRequest.device.ip or BidRequest.device.ipv6). IP_TRUNCATED = 0; The IP address field is truncated: IPv4 to /24 or IPv6 to /48. The truncated octets are replaced by zeros so the field still parses as a valid IP address, for example "xxx.yyy.zzz.0" for IPv4. IP_REDACTED = 2; The IP address field is redacted.
user_agent	optional	UserAgentGeneralization enum	BidRequest.privacy_treatments.user_agent	Generalization that was applied to the BidRequest.device.ua and BidRequest.device.sua fields, if any. USER_AGENT_FULL = 0; The BidRequest.device.ua and BidRequest.device.sua fields are provided in full. USER_AGENT_COARSE = 1; The BidRequest.device.ua and BidRequest.device.sua fields are generalized, which can include limiting browser and OS version information to major versions only and other changes to protect user privacy.

Source

This object describes the nature and behavior of the entity that is the source of the bid request upstream from the exchange. The primary purpose of this object is to define post-auction or upstream decisioning when the exchange itself does not control the final decision. A common example of this is header bidding, but it can also apply to upstream server entities such as another RTB exchange, a mediation platform, or an ad server combines direct campaigns with 3rd party demand in decisioning.

schain	No	SupplyChain object	BidRequest.supply_chain	This field has been deprecated in favor of BidRequest.source.schain, and will be removed in December 2023. This field contains the OpenRTB SupplyChain object. For more information, see this article.

SupplyChain

OpenRTB SupplyChain object. For more information, see this article.

Attribute	Always passed	Type	Authorized Buyers equivalent	Supported	Implementation details
complete	No	int32	BidRequest.supply_chain.complete		Option indicating whether the chain contains all nodes involved in the transaction leading back to the owner of the site, app or other medium of the inventory, where 0 = no, 1 = yes.
nodes	No	Array of SupplyChainNode objects	BidRequest.supply_chain.nodes		Array of SupplyChainNode objects in the order of the chain. In a complete supply chain, the first node represents the initial advertising system and seller ID involved in the transaction, for example, the owner of the site, app, or other medium. In an incomplete supply chain, it represents the first known node. The last node represents the entity sending this bid request.
ver	No	string	BidRequest.supply_chain.version		Version of the supply chain specification in use, in the format of "major.minor". For example, for version 1.0 of the spec, use the string "1.0".

SupplyChainNode

Attribute	Always passed	Type	Authorized Buyers equivalent	Supported	Implementation details
asi	No	string	BidRequest.supply_chain.nodes.advertising_system_identifier		The canonical domain name of the SSP, Exchange, Header Wrapper, etc system that bidders connect to. This may be the operational domain of the system, if that is different than the parent corporate domain, to facilitate WHOIS and reverse IP lookups to establish clear ownership of the delegate system. This should be the same value as used to identify sellers in an ads.txt file if one exists.
sid	No	string	BidRequest.supply_chain.nodes.seller_identifier		The identifier associated with the seller or reseller account within the advertising system. This must contain the same value used in transactions (for example, OpenRTB bid requests) in the field specified by the SSP/exchange. Typically, in OpenRTB, this is publisher.id. For OpenDirect it is typically the publisher’s organization ID. Should be limited to 64 characters in length.
rid	No	string	Not supported		The OpenRTB RequestId of the request as issued by this seller.
name	No	string	Not supported		The name of the company (the legal entity) that is paid for inventory transacted under the given seller_id. This value is optional and should NOT be included if it exists in the advertising system’s sellers.json file. If available for SupplyChain nodes upstream of Google, it will be included.
domain	No	string	Not supported		The business domain name of the entity represented by this node. This value is optional and should NOT be included if it exists in the advertising system’s sellers.json file. If available for SupplyChain nodes upstream of Google, it will be included.
hp	No	int32	BidRequest.supply_chain.nodes.handles_payment		Indicates whether this node will be involved in the flow of payment for the inventory. When set to 1, the advertising system in the asi field pays the seller in the sid field, who is responsible for paying the previous node in the chain. When set to 0, this node is not involved in the flow of payment for the inventory. For version 1.0 of SupplyChain, this property should always be 1. It is explicitly required to be included as it is expected that future versions of the specification will introduce non-payment handling nodes. Implementers should ensure that they support this field and propagate it onwards when constructing SupplyChain objects in bid requests sent to a downstream advertising system.

Imp

This object describes an ad placement or impression being auctioned. A single bid request can include multiple Imp objects, a use case for which might be an exchange that supports selling all ad positions on a given page. Each Imp object has a required ID so that bids can reference them individually.

The presence of Banner, Video, or Native objects subordinate to the Imp object indicates the type of impression being offered. The publisher can choose one such type which is the typical case or mix them at their discretion. Any given bid for the impression must conform to one of the offered types.

is_app_open_ad	No	bool	BidRequest.Mobile.is_app_open_ad	Indicates whether a mobile app bid request is for an app open ad. See App open ad guidance for more information.
ampad	No	Enum AmpAdRequirementType	BidRequest.AdSlot.amp_ad_request_type	Possible requirement types for AMP ads. UNKNOWN_AMP_AD_REQUIREMENT_TYPE = 1; (Default) AMP ad requirements are unknown. AMP_AD_NOT_ALLOWED = 2; AMP ads are not allowed. AMP_AD_ALLOWED_AND_NOT_EARLY_RENDERED = 3; Either AMP ads or non-AMP ads are allowed, AMP ads are not early rendered. AMP_AD_ALLOWED_AND_EARLY_RENDERED = 4; Either AMP ads or non-AMP ads are allowed, AMP ads are early rendered. AMP_AD_REQUIRED = 5; AMP ads are required. Ads that are non-AMP may be rejected by the publisher.
buyer_generated_request_data	No	Array of BuyerGeneratedRequestData objects	BidRequest.AdSlot.secure_signals	Secure signals passed by the publisher.
billable_event_rate_adjustment	No	double	BidRequest.AdSlot.billable_event_rate_adjustment	Deprecated. This will be removed in Q1 2024. This field has been deprecated in favor of the repeated field billable_event_rate_bid_adjustment below. For ads rendered using a custom SDK only: multiplier applied to bid in the auction. The adjustment reflects the likelihood that your bid would generate a billable event (for example, the ad renders successfully) if it won the auction, relative to the probability that other bids generate a billable event if they won the auction. This adjustment can be larger or smaller than 1. This affects the final ranking in the auction only; in particular, this multiplier does not affect the payment. Default = 1.0.

Keyval object

Parent

Multiple key-value pairs can be specified in order to support bidders whose inventory unit space is hierarchical and has multiple identifiers. The key-value pairs for the chosen AdUnitMapping should be sent back in the bid response as BidResponse.seatbid.bid.ext.sdk_rendered_ad.sdk_params. This is passed to the bidder's SDK.

Attribute	Type	Always passed	Authorized Buyers equivalent	Implementation details
key	string	No	BidRequest.AdSlot.AdUnitMapping.keyval.key	The key is the name of the bidder's inventory unit identifier for the SDK.
value	string	No	BidRequest.AdSlot.AdUnitMapping.keyval.value	The value of the bidder's inventory unit identifier for the given format.

Metric

This object is associated with an impression as an array of metrics. These metrics can offer insight into the impression to assist with decisioning such as average recent viewability, click-through rate, etc. Each metric is identified by its type, reports the value of the metric, and optionally identifies the source or vendor measuring the value.

Attribute	Always passed	Type	Authorized Buyers equivalent	Supported	Implementation details
type	No	string	One of: BidRequest .AdSlot .viewability BidRequest .AdSlot .click_ through_rate BidRequest .AdSlot .video_ completion_rate BidRequest .AdSlot .session_depth.		Type of metric being presented using exchange curated string names which should be published to bidders a priori. REQUIRED by the OpenRTB specification. The types we support are: click_through_rate, viewability, completion_rate, and session_depth.
value	No	double	Value between 0 and 1.		Number representing the value of the metric. Probabilities must be in the range 0.00 – 1.00. REQUIRED by the OpenRTB specification. The viewability metric is a fraction from 0.00 to 1.00 in the OpenRTB metric, but it's expressed as a percentage [0-100] in the AdX protocol.
vendor	No	string	EXCHANGE		Source of the value using exchange curated string names which should be published to bidders a priori. If the exchange itself is the source versus a third party, "EXCHANGE" is recommended. RECOMMENDED by the OpenRTB specification.

Banner

This object represents the most general type of impression. Although the term "banner" may have very specific meaning in other contexts, here it can be many things including a simple static image, an expandable ad unit, or even in-banner video (refer to the Video object for the more generalized and full featured video ad units). An array of Banner objects can also appear within the Video to describe optional companion ads defined in the VAST specification.

The presence of a Banner as a subordinate of the Imp object indicates that this impression is offered as a banner type impression. At the publisher's discretion, that same impression may also be offered as video and/or native by also including as Imp subordinates the Video and/or Native objects, respectively. However, any given bid for the impression must conform to one of the offered types.

Attribute	Always passed	Type	Authorized Buyers equivalent	Supported	Implementation details

pos	No	Enum AdPosition	BidRequest.AdSlot.slot_visibility BidRequest.StickySettings		This OpenRTB table has values derived from the IAB Quality Assurance Guidelines (QAG). Practitioners should keep in sync with updates to the QAG values as published on IAB.net. Values "4" - "7" apply to apps per the mobile addendum to QAG version 1.5. Banner.pos only supports one value. If is_sticky, Banner.pos is populated with stickiness. If unknown_stickiness, slot_visibility is used. Stickiness indicates the banner is always onscreen, whereas visibility above-the-fold or below-the-fold can change as the user scrolls. Can be one of the following values: ABOVE_THE_FOLD = 1; BELOW_THE_FOLD = 3; HEADER = 4; Equivalent to sticky_settings.top_horizontal_stickiness in Authorized Buyers RTB protocol. FOOTER = 5; Equivalent to sticky_settings.bottom_horizontal_stickiness in Authorized Buyers RTB protocol.

Video

This object represents an in-stream video impression. Many of the fields are non-essential for minimally viable transactions, but are included to offer fine control when needed. Video in OpenRTB generally assumes compliance with the VAST standard. As such, the notion of companion ads is supported by optionally including an array of Banner objects that define these companion ads.

The presence of a Video as a subordinate of the Imp object indicates that this impression is offered as a video type impression. At the publisher's discretion, that same impression may also be offered as banner and/or native by also including as Imp subordinates the Banner and/or Native objects, respectively. However, any given bid for the impression must conform to one of the offered types.

Refer to the OpenRTB Video Ads guide for additional details.

Instream video must be set to “sound on” by default at player start, or have explicitly clear user intent to watch the video content. While there may be other content surrounding the player, the video content must be the focus of the user’s visit. It should remain the primary content on the page and the only video player in-view capable of audio when playing. If the player converts to floating/sticky, subsequent ad calls should accurately convey the updated player size. PLCMT_ACCOMPANYING_CONTENT = 2 - Pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll ads that are played before, during, or after streaming video content. The video player loads and plays before, between, or after paragraphs of text or graphical content, and starts playing only when it enters the viewport. Accompanying content should only start playback upon entering the viewport. It may convert to a floating/sticky player as it scrolls off the page. PLCMT_INTERSTITIAL = 3 - Video ads that are played without video content. During playback, it must be the primary focus of the page and take up the majority of the viewport and cannot be scrolled out of view. This can be in placements like in-app video or slideshows.

UNDEFINED_VIDEO_PLACEMENT: The video placement is not defined. Default value. IN_STREAM_PLACEMENT: Played before, during or after the streaming video content that the consumer has requested. For example, Pre-roll, Mid-roll, Post-roll. IN_BANNER_PLACEMENT: 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. IN_ARTICLE_PLACEMENT: Loads and plays dynamically between paragraphs of editorial content; existing as a standalone branded message. IN_FEED_PLACEMENT: In-Feed - Found in content, social, or product feeds. FLOATING_PLACEMENT: Interstitial/Slider/Floating. Covers the entire or a portion of screen area, but is always on screen while displayed (for example, cannot be scrolled out of view). Note that a full-screen interstitial (for example, in mobile) can be distinguished from a floating/slider unit by the imp.instl field.

embeddedoffsite	Yes	Embeddedoffsite	BidRequest.Video.embeddedoffsite If true, the video is embedded on a page outside the publisher's domain. When this is set, BidRequest.{app/site}.content.producer.domain points to the domain of the content producer, and the BidRequest.{app/site}.page field is the page in which the video is embedded.	BidRequest.imp.video.ext.embeddedoffsite describes whether or not the video is embedded on a page outside the publisher's domain.

Audio

This object represents an audio type impression. Many of the fields are non-essential for minimally viable transactions, but are included to offer fine control when needed. Audio in OpenRTB generally assumes compliance with the DAAST standard. As such, the notion of companion ads is supported by optionally including an array of Banner objects that define these companion ads. The presence of an Audio object as a subordinate of the Imp object indicates that this impression is offered as an audio type impression. At the publisher's discretion, that same impression may also be offered as banner, video, and/or native by also including as Imp subordinates objects of those types. However, any given bid for the impression must conform to one of the offered types.

Native

This object represents a native type impression. Native ad units are intended to blend seamlessly into the surrounding content (for example, a sponsored Twitter or Facebook post). As such, the response must be well-structured to afford the publisher fine-grained control over rendering.

Note that Native 1.1 is supported in OpenRTB 2.4 and OpenRTB 2.5.

The Native Subcommittee developed a companion specification to OpenRTB called the Native Ad Specification. It defines the request parameters and response markup structure of native ad units.

This object provides the means of transporting request parameters as an opaque string so that the specific parameters can evolve separately under the auspices of the Native Ad Specification. Similarly, the ad markup served will be structured according to that specification. The presence of a Native as a subordinate of the Imp object indicates that this impression is offered as a native type impression. At the publisher's discretion, that same impression may also be offered as banner and/or video by also including as Imp subordinates the Banner and/or Video objects, respectively. However, any given bid for the impression must conform to one of the offered types.

Geo

This object encapsulates various methods for specifying a geographic location. When subordinate to a Device object, it indicates the location of the device which can also be interpreted as the user's current location. When subordinate to a User object, it indicates the location of the user's home base (for example, not necessarily their current location). The lat/lon attributes should only be passed if they conform to the accuracy depicted in the type attribute. For example, the centroid of a geographic region such as postal code should not be passed.

In Google's implementation of OpenRTB, coarse geolocation information is approximated based on the IP address of the device the ad request originated from. This information will typically–but not always–be included in the bid request with lat/lon representing the center point of a circle, where accuracy is its radius. To learn more about geolocation, see the Geotargeting guide.

Bid response variables and definitions

This section describes the bid response variables and definitions.

BidResponse

This object is the top-level bid response object (for example, the unnamed outer JSON object). The id attribute is a reflection of the bid request ID for logging purposes. Similarly, bidid is an optional response tracking ID for bidders. If specified, it can be included in the subsequent win notice call if the bidder wins. At least one seatbid object is required, which contains at least one bid for an impression. Other attributes are optional. To express a "no-bid", return an empty response with HTTP 204. Alternately, if the bidder wants to convey to the exchange a reason for not bidding, just a BidResponse object is returned with a reason code in the nbr attribute.
