Native§3.2.9 · Bid Request

This object represents a native type impression. Native ad units are intended to blend seamlessly into the surrounding content (e.g., a sponsored Twitter or Facebook post). As such, the response must be well-structured to afford the publisher fine-grained control over rendering. The Native Subcommittee has developed a companion specification to OpenRTB called the Dynamic Native Ads API. It defines the request parameters and response markup structure of native ad units. This object provides the means of transporting request parameters as an opaque string so that the specific parameters can evolve separately under the auspices of the Dynamic Native Ads API. Similarly, the ad markup served will be structured according to that specification. The presence of a Native as a subordinate of the Imp object indicates that this impression is offered as a native type impression. At the publisher's discretion, that same impression may also be offered as banner, video, and/or audio by also including as Imp subordinates objects of those types. However, any given bid for the impression must conform to one of the offered types.
