Video bids need ext.vast_url or the documented nurl fallback.
Video bids need ext.vast_url or the documented nurl fallback.
What it means
Video bids need ext.vast_url or the documented nurl fallback. This check applies to the selected vendor contract and integration direction.
Why it matters
The declared profile checks the published partner contract alongside canonical OpenRTB. It does not verify runtime approval or account configuration.
How to fix it
Use the documented field type, value and representation at the reported path for this integration direction.
