{
  "id": "response-id",
  "seatbid": [{
    "bid": [{
      "impid": "imp-123",
      "price": 0.50,
      "adm": "<div>Creative</div>",
      "crid": "creative-1",
      "w": 320,
      "h": 100,
      "ext": {
        "vast_url": "http://example.com/vast.xml"
      },
      "adomain": ["example.com"]
    }]
  }],
  "cur": "USD"
}

Interpretation

• If adm contains <VAST>, the adapter sets mediaType: 'video' and includes vastXml & vastUrl.
• Otherwise, mediaType: 'banner' and the ad contains the HTML markup.

Additional Details

• Defaults:
  • netRevenue = true
  • ttl = 300
  • Banner fallback size: 320x100
  • Video fallback size: 1280x720
• Callbacks:
