Using the custom_data Field

The custom_data field provides a way to include additional, personalized information in your proof-of-play reports. By adding custom POP fields during playback, you can gain deeper insights into the performance of your dynamic content.

Note: Data in the custom_data field can only be in string format.

The following is an example of ConfirmPlayback with custom_data:

Copy

 curl -X POST https://air.broadsign.com/playlist/v1/confirm_playback \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer cbdbc369a063de6c0f458557f1456602' \
-d '{
"player_identifier": "Lobby",
"screen_identifier" : "1",
"confirmed_items": [
  {
    "playlist_item_token":"CgRwbGF5EhBBbWVyaWNhL01vbnRyZWFsGJzim7u1LSCQTigBMCI4uPD5AkC9kM4DSK2UzgNSDTE1NjA1Mzg5NjY4MjBaN2h0dHA6Ly8xMC4xMS4yLjIxM=",
    "custom_data": {
        "ext1": "golf"
        "ext2": "hotel"
        "example": "value"
    }
  }
]
}'

The ext1 and ext2 values, if both provided, will be written in the Proof-of-Play's service_name and service_stat_id field respectively. Any other key-value pairs will be written in the POP's extra_data field as JSON.

Some custom_data fields are reserved by Broadsign Air and will be ignored if provided.
