A Response will contain zero or more Decision Objects, one per Placement that was sent in on the request. If no ad was selected for a given Placement, the corresponding Decision entry will be undefined. The response will also contain the user key used to identify the unique user that places the request.

Decision Object

Each Decision Object represents the ad that was selected to be served for a given Placement.

Property	Description
`adId` (integer)	The Ad's ID
`advertiserId` (integer)	The Advertiser's ID
`creativeId` (integer)	The Creative's ID
`flightId` (integer)	The Flight's ID
`campaignId` (integer)	The Campaign's ID
`priorityId` (integer)	The Priority's ID (associated with the flight)
`clickUrl` (string)	The url endpoint that, using a GET, triggers the recording of the click and redirects to the target. Append the query string `noredirect` to count the click without the redirect.
`contents` (object)	One or more Contents
`impressionUrl` (string)	The url endpoint that, using a GET, triggers the recording of the impression
`events` (object)	The IDs and tracking URLs of custom events
`pricing` (object)	Pricing data for the decision (if requested). See below

🚧
You must call the impressionUrl URL in order to count an impression in Kevel's reporting.

Contents Object

Each Decision contains one or more Contents. Combined, the Contents represent the creative that should be displayed. For example, a creative may contain a CSS stylesheet and a block of HTML. This would be represented as two Contents, one with the type css and one with the type html.

Custom metadata set at the creative level will be passed in the Contents as the key customData.

If a content uses a predefined template, the template property will be set to the name of the template to use. For example, an image content will have the type html and the template image.

For a list of predefined templates, see Predefined Content Templates below.

For raw contents (called "HTML/JavaScript Creatives" in the Kevel Management UI) the content will not have a template property set. Instead, it will have a customTemplate property which will contain the body of the custom template.

Property	Description
`type` (string)	The type of the content (see Content Types, below)
`template` (string)	The name of the template used to render the content (see Content Templates, below)
`data` (object)	An object that has fields used to build the content. Note that "title" refers to creative alt-text, not the Friendly Name
`body` (string)	The rendered body of the content. This is the `scriptbody` from Create Creative, or the JS/HTML section in the UI

{
  "type": "html",
  "template": "image",
  "data": {
    "fileName": "cat-eating-spaghetti.jpg",
    "title": "Example title"
  },
  "body": "<a href='...'><img src='https://static.adzerk.net/Advertisers/cat-eating-spaghetti.jpg' title='ZOMG LOOK AT THIS FRICKING CAT'></a>"
}

{
  "type": "raw",
  "customTemplate": "this is an example custom template body with macros like %url% that can be replaced"
}

Data Object

Property	Description
`imageURL` (string)	The URL of the hosted Kevel image
`title` (string)	The Friendly Name of the ad
`width` (integer)	The width associated with the Ad Type
`height` (integer)	The height associated with the Ad Type
`customData` (object)	The JSON object inserted into the metadata of the ad

Content Types

`html`	A block of HTML
`css`	A block of CSS
`js`	A block of JavaScript

`image-nowidth`	A static image with no height or width attributes

Event Multipliers

You can optionally set an event multiplier on impressions, clicks, conversions, and custom events via the eventMultiplier parameter. This will set the count of that event in reporting to the value of the multiplier. For instance, if you set a multiplier of 10 on an impression URL:

curl -g "https://e-1234.adzerk.net/i.gife=eyJ2Ijoi...xneGk&eventMultiplier=10"

That impression will be counted ten times in reporting, and any revenue associated with the impression will also be registered ten times.

An event multiplier must be between the ranges of [-100000000, -1] or [1, 100000000].

Event multipliers on events will override any event multiplier set on the placement.

Event multipliers do not multiply the revenue set via the override parameter.

Triggering Click Events Without Redirects

By default, calling the ClickUrl will perform a 302 redirect to the Click Url specified in the creative and trigger a click event in reporting. To trigger a click event without the redirect, you can add the query string noredirect to the ClickUrl:

curl -g "https://e-1234.adzerk.net/r?e=eyJ2Ijo...ewxlb6Do_o&noredirect"

The response will contain a 200 status code with an empty response body. This enables the ClickUrl to be used in the same way as custom event URLs.

Pricing Data

Name	Data Type
`price` (float)	The Flight's price (or ad's if its settings override Flight)
`clearPrice` (float)	The actual "price" of the impression used for reporting. This may differ from the saved price on the flight if the impression is from a second-priced auction, etc.
`revenue` (float)	The revenue that this ad will generate, should the revenue-generating event occur. For example, a $10 CPM ad will have a 'revenue' of 0.01, and a $1.50 CPC ad will have a 'revenue' of 1.50. Ads with a flat rate (rateType = 1) will be 0.
`rateType` (enum)	The value of "rateType" on the flight or ad (an enumerated type)
`eCPM` (float)	The revenue earned by this impression multiplied by 1,000. Calculated by our eCPM calculation service
optimizedPrice (float)	The tROAS (target ROAS) optimization price; used with Autobid.
modifiedPrice (float)	The 'price' after bidModifiers have been applied.
