Rule reference

DT response dealid must reference a deal in the matched impression.

openrtb.profile.digital_turbine.deal_mismatcherrorRequest/response pair

DT response dealid must reference a deal in the matched impression.

What it means

DT response dealid must reference a deal in the matched impression. 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 an option offered by the matching request. Check the request and response together at the reported path.

Check your payload

Paste a bid request or response into the tester to see whether this code fires against it, or gate on the id in CI with the CLI: the id is stable, wording is not.
