Field facts

Path: imp.audio.podid
Object: Audio
Type: string
Requirement: Optional
Added: OpenRTB 2.6-202204
Spec section: 3.2.8

How it is used

A podcast mid-roll with two spots can be two impressions sharing one pod ID, each with its own Audio.slotinpod. A dynamic break can instead be a single impression with Audio.poddur and Audio.maxseq.

Example

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

{
  "id": "req-1",
  "imp": [
    {
      "audio": {
        "podid": "midroll-1"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Common mistakes

Sending it as a number instead of a string.
Giving the spots of one break different values, which tells buyers they belong to separate breaks.
