Field facts

Path: imp.video.skip
Object: Video
Type: integer
Requirement: Optional
Added: OpenRTB 2.4
Spec section: 3.2.7

How it is used

This describes the player's own skip control. A creative that brings its own skip button declares it on the bid with creative attribute 16 in Bid.attr. An absent value means the seller has not said, which is not the same as 0. CTV inventory is usually non-skippable, and saying so with 0 is clearer than leaving the field out.

Allowed values

0, 1.

Example

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

{
  "id": "req-1",
  "imp": [
    {
      "video": {
        "skip": 1
      }
    }
  ]
}

Common mistakes

Sending true or false. The field is an integer, and booleans trigger openrtb.dialect.bool_for_integer, usually because the payload came from the protobuf schema.
Sending Video.skipmin or Video.skipafter without skip set to 1, which the validator reports as openrtb.field.requires_skippable_video.
