How it is used

Pair it with Banner.w. Inside a companion array, w and h describe the companion slot, not the video player.

Example

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

{
  "id": "req-1",
  "imp": [
    {
      "banner": {
        "h": 250
      }
    }
  ]
}

Common mistakes

  • Sending physical pixels from a high-density screen instead of device-independent pixels.
  • Sending h without w, which gives the buyer half a size.
