Field facts

Path: imp.audio.maxextended
Object: Audio
Type: integer
Requirement: Optional
Added: OpenRTB 2.4
Spec section: 3.2.8

How it is used

Breaks in radio and podcasts have fixed lengths, so most audio requests leave it absent or send 0.

Example

Where the field sits in a payload, with everything else left out:

{
  "id": "req-1",
  "imp": [
    {
      "audio": {
        "maxextended": 0
      }
    }
  ]
}

Common mistakes

Sending the total allowed length when the value is added on top of maxduration.
