      Description

      Data Type

      Create

      Update

      integer

      N/A

      string

      Optional

      Optional

      integer

      Required

      Required

      string

      Required

      Optional

      seedList

      Specifies an array of data to be used as seed data for the audience.

      Note: The data should be hashed using the SHA256 algorithm in all cases except for Device ID audiences.

      array

      Required

      Optional

      seedListType

      Specifies the type of data included in the seedList.

      string

      Required

      Optional

      seedListAction

      Specifies the operation which will be performed on the provided seedList.

      Allowed values:

      Optional

      isDeviceOnly

      Enables or disables cross-device support. Defaults to FALSE if a value is not specified.

      If cross-device support is enabled, Yahoo DSP links cookie and mobile device identifiers deterministically at a person level and probabilistically at a household level.

      Disabling cross-device support turns off device linked cookies and restricts targeting to the uploaded/collected seed audience from a pixel. If cross-device targeting is disabled, the deterministic and probabilistic cross-device linkages are disabled for both creating and targeting a segment

      Allowed values:

      • TRUE: disables cross device support.

      • FALSE: enables cross device support.

      Note: This is only for use with Device ID audiences.

      boolean
