enum UnitType (v202505)

  • UnitType defines the unit used for a reservation, and while often the same, it can differ from CostType, which is how an ad is billed.

  • UnitType includes options such as impressions, clicks, various types of CPA conversions, viewable impressions, and in-target impressions.

  • Certain UnitTypes, like clicks and viewable/in-target impressions, are supported only for specific LineItem types.

  • CPA conversion UnitTypes (click-through, view-through, and total) are only supported as secondary goals and when the CostType is CPA.
