Audio.rqddurs

The exact audio ad durations the slot accepts, in seconds, aimed at live radio and similar streams where an ad of the wrong length leaves silence or cuts into content. Mutually exclusive with Audio.minduration and Audio.maxduration. Added in 2.6.

Field facts

Path: imp.audio.rqddurs
Object: Audio
Type: integer array
Requirement: Optional
Added: OpenRTB 2.6-202204
Spec section: 3.2.8

How it is used

Radio breaks are often built from 15, 30, and 60 second units. Listing those lengths keeps out creatives that would leave a gap. Bidders state each creative's length in Bid.dur.

Example

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

{
  "id": "req-1",
  "imp": [
    {
      "audio": {
        "rqddurs": [
          15,
          30,
          60
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Common mistakes

Sending it together with Audio.minduration or Audio.maxduration, which the validator reports as openrtb.fields.mutually_exclusive.
Sending an empty array, which permits no duration at all.
