# Day Parting Targeting

*This article describes resources that enable you to read and define day parting targeting.*

# Overview

Day parting enables you to target ad placement opportunities during specific days of the week and hours of the day.

The days of the week and hours of the day targeted are specified in the `dayParting` object.

The Yahoo DSP supports `ENHANCED_DAY_PARTING` targeting for lines serving display and video ads. Day parting is not supported for lines serving native ads.

# Endpoint

```plaintext
/traffic/lines/{id}/targeting
```

- A `GET` request enables you to view day parting schedules targeted by the specified line.
- A `POST` request enables you to target day parting schedules with the specified line.

| **Parameter** | **Parameter Type** | **Description** | **Data Type** | **Required** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | path | Specifies the line ID. | `integer` | Y |
| `dayParting` | body | Specifies a `dayParting` object that specifies the days and hours targeted. The `dayParting` object consists of multiple arrays representing days of the week. Each day is defined by an array of integers that specify the hours of the day targeted. An empty array targets the entire day. To learn more, refer to [Day Parting Object](/dsp-api/docs/day-parting#day-parting-object). | `object` | Y |
| `types` | body | Specifies an array of targeting types to update, enable, or disable. `ENHANCED_DAY_PARTING` targeting type must be specified to apply the changes. To learn more, refer to [Targeting Types](/dsp-api/docs/about-targeting). | `array` | Y |

## Day Parting Object

The `dayParting` object defines the days of the week and hours of the day that are targeted by a specific line.

The `dayParting` object consists of array objects that represent the days of the week: `sunday`, `monday`, `tuesday`, `wednesday`, `thursday`, `friday`, `saturday`. Each day-of-the-week array specifies the hours of the day targeted. Valid values are integers between 0 and 23 with `0` representing 12 a.m. and `23` representing 11 p.m.

If a day-of-the-week array is an empty array or contains all possible values (0-23), the entire day is targeted.

| **Field** | **Description** | **Data Type** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `sunday` | An array of integers that specify the hours of the day targeted. Valid values: [0-23]. | `array` |
| `monday` | An array of integers that specify the hours of the day targeted. Valid values: [0-23]. | `array` |
| `tuesday` | An array of integers that specify the hours of the day targeted. Valid values: [0-23]. | `array` |
| `wednesday` | An array of integers that specify the hours of the day targeted. Valid values: [0-23]. | `array` |
| `thursday` | An array of integers that specify the hours of the day targeted. Valid values: [0-23]. | `array` |
| `friday` | An array of integers that specify the hours of the day targeted. Valid values: [0-23]. | `array` |
| `saturday` | An array of integers that specify the hours of the day targeted. Valid values: [0-23]. | `array` |
