How it is used

Page categories let a buyer skip a sensitive article on an otherwise safe site, or buy a sports story on a general news site. Sellers that classify pages automatically should send the result here rather than overwrite Site.cat.

Example

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

{
  "id": "req-1",
  "site": {
    "pagecat": [
      "IAB12-3"
    ]
  }
}
