How it is used

Buyers read it together with Imp.displaymanagerver to judge which creative formats and measurement scripts will work in that renderer. Send a stable identifier for the rendering technology rather than a free-text description.

Example

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

{
  "id": "req-1",
  "imp": [
    {
      "displaymanager": "prebid-mobile"
    }
  ]
}

Common mistakes

  • Sending the app's own name instead of the rendering SDK tells the buyer nothing about how the ad will render.
