How it is used

These are hardware pixels, not CSS or density-independent pixels; divide by device.pxratio to get the logical size. The value describes the whole screen. The ad slot size lives on the impression, for example in imp.banner.h.

Example

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

{
  "id": "req-1",
  "device": {
    "h": 2532
  }
}

Common mistakes

  • Sending the slot or viewport size instead of the screen size.
