Dimensions

This article describes the dimensions of data returned by the Verizon Media DSP API.

Overview

A dimension is an attribute of data. A dimension may represent an attribute of a consumer, segment, campaign, ad, or line. For example, the MobileOs dimension tracks the operating system (Android, iOS, etc.) of consumer mobile devices. Compare with Metrics

In the Verizon Media DSP Reporting API, all report dimensions are identified by a unique dimension type ID. You can run reports on dimensions of data by specifying one or more report dimension IDs in the dimensionTypeIds array of a request.

Several dimension types return multiple report fields. For example, a request that specifies the Ad dimension (7) returns two fields: the ID and the Name of the ad.

You must specify at least one dimension type ID in every Reporting API request.
