Field facts

Path: imp.pmp.deals.wseat
Object: Deal
Type: string array
Requirement: Optional
Added: OpenRTB 2.3
Spec section: 3.2.12

How it is used

A bid on the deal comes back under SeatBid.seat, and that value should be one of these ids. To express no restriction, leave the field out rather than sending an empty array.

Example

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

{
  "id": "req-1",
  "imp": [
    {
      "pmp": {
        "deals": [
          {
            "wseat": [
              "seat-417",
              "seat-902"
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Common mistakes

Using display names such as an agency's name instead of the agreed seat ids.
Sending an empty array, which some readers take to mean nobody may bid.
