    Viewability Targeting


      Article summary

      This article describes resources that enable you to read and define viewability targeting rules.

      Overview

      You can set hard viewability goals for display and video line items. When you set a viewability threshold for a line item, viewability takes precedence over line item delivery, and you can expect line items to achieve and maintain the viewability goal.

      The Yahoo DSP supports VIEWABILITY targeting for lines serving display and video ads.

      Endpoint

      /traffic/lines/{id}/targeting
      • A GET request enables you to view viewability thresholds targeted by the specified line.

      • A POST request enables you to target viewability thresholds with the specified line.
