How it is used

One of the core CTV show-level fields. Keep the format identical across requests for the same series, since buyers match on the exact string.

Example

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

{
  "id": "req-1",
  "app": {
    "content": {
      "season": "Season 4"
    }
  }
}

Common mistakes

  • Sending season as a number, such as 3. The field is a string, so strict parsers reject it.
  • Switching formats between requests, such as "Season 3" on one and "S3" on another.
