How it is used
Buyers weigh a third-party audience estimate differently from a seller's own count, so send it whenever the source is known.
Allowed values
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
0 | Unknown: The source of the multiplier is not known. |
1 | Measurement Vendor Provided: An independent audience measurement vendor supplied the multiplier; name it in Qty.vendor. |
2 | Publisher Provided: The publisher or screen owner supplied the multiplier. |
3 | Exchange Provided: The exchange calculated or supplied the multiplier. |
Example
Where the field sits in a payload, with everything else left out:
{
"id": "req-1",
"imp": [
{
"qty": {
"sourcetype": 1
}
}
]
}Common mistakes
- Sending 1 without
Qty.vendor, which leaves the buyer unable to tell who measured the audience.
