Use Case: Get all the spot ids for a specific operator.


Step 1: use the inventory/spot/id/search endpoint to get all the spot_ids for a specific operator.

Call:

To get an accurate count of inventory include a minimum of 0 impressions in the measures_range_list

{
    "operator_name_list": [
        "Intersection"
    ],
    "measures_range_list": [
        {
            "type": "imp",
            "min": 0
        }
    ],
    "page_size": 50001
}

Response:

As you can see the response includes a count of total inventory, and a pagination object. For this call there are 2 pages since the page size is capped at 50,000 spot results. A second call is needed to get the remainder of the spot_ids

{
    "inventory_summary": {
        "inventory_count": 26602,
        "pagination": {
            "page": 1,
            "page_size": 50001,
            "number_of_pages": 2,
            "number_of_frames": 29960,
            "number_of_spots": 53359
        },
        "frame_list": [
            {
                "frame_id": 50187935,
                "spot_id_list": [
                    50190589
                ]
            },
            {
                "frame_id": 30819503,
                "spot_id_list": [
                    30819637,
                    30819639,
                    30819640,
                    30819638,
                    30819503,
                    30819636
                ]
            },
...etc

Call:

This call is the same as the first one, but adds a page key/value to only get the second page of results.

{
    "operator_name_list": [
        "Intersection"
    ],
    "measures_range_list": [
        {
            "type": "imp",
            "min": 0
        }
    ],
    "page": 2,
    "page_size": 50001
}

Result:

The second page result is the same as the first one, but for a smaller inventory count as this is the second and final page. The pagination object still included the overall count for the search.

{
    "inventory_summary": {
        "inventory_count": 3358,
        "pagination": {
            "page": 2,
            "page_size": 50001,
            "number_of_pages": 2,
            "number_of_frames": 29960,
            "number_of_spots": 53359
        },
        "frame_list": [
            {
                "frame_id": 30542309,
                "spot_id_list": [
                    30542309
                ]
            },
etc...

When creating a plan sometimes a user will want to lock a certain parameter like number of a media type or TRPs.


This can be accomplished in the https://api.geopath.org/v2.1/inventory/plans endpoint and using the lock object to set what you want locked. The lock object can be provided within different objects depending on the lock requirements. A Goal object is always required when using the endpoint, but can be set at 0 for a measure.

Call:

This call locks the total number of Bulletin inventory in a specific market with a TRP goal of 100 over 1 week. Note that locking the number of inventory might make the request fail to reach a set goal.

Response:

The response shows that the number of inventory was locked at 25 spots and failed to meet the goal of 100 TRPs.

As seen in the Geopath Insights Suite, it's possible to find the highest indexing segment for a piece of inventory. This can help our members identify new business opportunities and can be accessed by the Geopath API.


Using the https://api.geopath.org/v2.1/inventory/measures/summary/segments endpoint its possible to search for a single id or list of multiple ids. If no inventory details are provided, the endpoint will generate the summary based on all inventory that match the search parameters. The available search parameters are the same as in the inventory search endpoint. If specific segments are not provided, the endpoint defaults to the list of Claritas PRIZM Segments.

######Call: This call specifies just a single spot id and a sort order. Since no specific segments are listed to rank, it will rank the PRIZM segments.

{
    "id_list": [
        "30970663"
    ],
    "sort": {
        "measure": "index_comp_target",
        "type": "DESC"
    }
}

######Response: The response first details the segment ids that are included, and then breaks down the summary statistics for each segment for the inventory that matches the search parameters in the call.

The Market Reference product allows you to search for defined geographic areas that can be used to filter inventory or limit measures to a single or group of areas.


There are two GET endpoints in the Market Reference product one where you can search for markets, and one where you can get information, including spatial geometry (excluding DMA) about a specific market.

In general geopath currently supports 4 different market types: DMA, CBSA, County(abbreviated CNTY) and Zip Codes (ZIP). Using the https://api.geopath.org/v2.1/markets/search endpoint you can provide a string to search as well as set a type filter.

Call:

This url is formatted with the parameters to search for zip codes that have the string 'NY'

https://api.geopath.org/v2.1/markets/search?type=Zip Codes&q=NY


Response:

The response includes an ID that can be used in other API search products as well as the long format name of the market. A pagination object is also include if the response is longer than 100(max and default page size) items.

You can use any combination of searches to find the geographic markets you need for use in the other inventory search endpoints. The other GET endpoint in the Market Reference product is to get details about a specific market code.

Call:

https://api.geopath.org/v2.1/markets/ZIP92091


Response:

The response includes the name of the market as well as the geometry of the market. This geometry of this response has been truncated. The geometry object could be used inside a seperate GeoJSON object for polygon creation in GIS systems.

Often there are cases where the specific inventory isn't required, but it's important to find inventory that matches to the best market or target audience.


Best Market:


The inventory search endpoint is utilized to find the top spots per market. Currently, only DMA, CBSA and County level impressions are available. Inventory can be filtered to smaller markets like ZIP Code.

Call:

This call asks for the spots sorted by the percent of in market impressions. It uses the target_geography_list to specify the county it's looking in, and then further narrows the inventory that is within a specific zip code. The measures_range_list parameter is used to limit the response to inventory that actually produces impressions in the market asked for (if this is not provided the response will include all inventory with the majority producing NULL in market impressions.)

Response:

The response is the standard inventory search response, but sorted to the specifications in the call. This response truncates frame details for space.

Best Audience:


The inventory search endpoint is utilized to find the top spots for a specific audience segment. This search can be can limited to a specific list of inventory, or inventory owned by specific company etc.... Inventory can also be filtered by a minimum number of target impressions to limit the response.

Call:

This call asks for the spots sorted by the index of the target impressions. It uses the inventory_market_list to specify the DMA when inventory is located. The measures_range_list parameter is used to limit the response to inventory that produces over 1000 impressions of the audience asked for (if this is not provided the response will include all inventory with some producing very low impressions for the audience.)

The Segment Reference Product allows you to search the thousands of audiences Geopath offers that can be used in the other inventory search endpoints.


There are currently 3 endpoints within the Segment Reference Endpoint. A GET endpoint to search the entire catalog, A POST endpoint to provide a list of segment IDs and get information about them, and a GET endpoint to get information about a single segment ID.


A Good way to start understanding the hierarchy in a functional way and to break down sources, categories and subcategories is to ask the call to return without the segments.

Call:

This call sets the exclude_segments parameter to true, to display only the sources, categories and subcategories.

These example use the /measures/summary endpoint to combine audience segments, markets, inventory and time to get measures


Call:

These 3 calls are taking the same batch of 5 Bulletins and getting the Hispanic 18+ measures for a 1,2, & 4 week period in the New York CBSA with 3 minimum frequency. These are separated out because you cannot have the same inventory returned for overlapping dates in a single call.

Geopath supports the ability to retrieve the estimated number of impressions per spot instance, per hour (i.e. the number of times a spot that contained an advertising message was shown on a screen, per hour) for a limited number of audience segments (i.e. P0+/P5+/P18+/P21+), among all persons residing in United States (i.e., without any specific target market geography).

This document will explain how to use Geopath’s API to retrieve hourly impression data regardless of whether the frame/spot is printed/static, tri-vision or digital.  This explanation will be easier to understand if the reader has a clear understanding the relationship between frames, layouts, faces, spots and messages; we recommend reviewing  OOH Inventory Data Model Hierarch: Frames, Layouts, Faces, and Spots.

A spot is an opportunity to display “creative content”. Creative content can be an image, a video, a textual message, audio, an ad or a combination of these. In Geopath’s terminology, we call “creative content” a message. Geopath does not provide audience measurement for a specific message but instead provides audience measurement for a spot (which may contain a message). For most practical purposes, spot impressions and message impressions are the same, but Geopath would like to ensure the reader understands the subtle distinction between a spot and a message.

Key to understanding how to get hourly impressions for both digital and static spots is understanding the difference between a spot and a spot instance. We can illustrate this concept using an example of a rotating frame. Rotating frames display multiple spots on the same frame by alternately displaying the spots in sequence, one after the other. Both digital frames and tri-vision frames are rotating frames. If we use a simple example of a digital frame with one layout and 6 spots, with each spot displaying for exactly 10 seconds before rotating to the next spot, then each spot would be displayed 60 times in an hour. In Geopath terminology, the duration of a single spot instance is the spot length. And in this example, each spot has a share of voice that is one sixth of the entire rotation time required for all spots to display exactly once.

The API attribute total_msg_impressions represents the average impressions per spot instance per hour this is commonly referred to as the spot multiplier. To convert from average impressions per spot instance per hour (i.e., total_msg_impressions) to impressions per spot per hour, we multiply the API value 'total_msg_impressions' by the number of times a spot is displayed per hour. In the above example for the digital sign, we would multiply total_msg_impressions by 60 (i.e., one time a minute or 60 times an hour).

For a static frame (a printed frame that does not have rotating spots), we can consider that frame as having a spot length (i.e., duration) of 3600 seconds per hour and a share of voice of 1.0, which allows the exact same formula to be used regardless of whether the spot is digital or static:

impressions per spot per hour = total_msg_impressions * number of times a spot is displayed per hour

For a static frame, the number of times the spot is displayed per hour is one. So, in the case of a static sign the average impressions per spot instance per hour is the same as the impressions per spot per hour.

To determine total hourly impressions for a digital spot, we need to determine how many instances of the spot are displayed in an hour. Sticking to the above example with a rotating frame having one layout and one face, and each spot having a length (duration of display) of 10 seconds, the number of spot instances per hour can be calculated by:

spot instances per hour = 3600 / (spots.length * 1/spots.spot_share_of_voice)

so, applying this formula to our example:

3600 seconds / (10 seconds * 1/(1/6)) = 60 spot instances

Assuming the total_msg_impressions in this example were 100 impressions per spot instance per hour, then the hourly impressions for the spot (i.e., all spot instances in the hour) would be

60 * 100 impressions per spot instance per hour = 6000 impressions per spot instance per hour

This calculation holds for the common case where there is only one layout on a frame. To generalize the formula, the layout share of voice must also be used. As an example, let's add in the assumption that there are two layouts on the frame with each layout being displayed for 30 minutes of each hour. In this example, the layout share of voice is 0.5 and the calculation becomes:

spot instances per hour = 3600 / (spots.length * 1/spots.spot_share_of_voice) * layout.share_of_voice

or

30 = 3600 / (10 seconds * 1/(1/6)) * 0.5

Note that the layout.share_of_voice is 1.0 for a static sign, so we can multiply by 1.0 for the layout.share_of_voice for a static frame (or we can omit the multiplication by 1.0 altogether). The general formula for calculating hourly impressions is the same regardless of frame type.

In the 2023 Forecast, served on API v2.2, hourly impressions are currently available for the following core audience segments that include Group Quarters Populations:

  • All persons 0+ (9330),

  • All persons 5+ (2038),

  • All persons 18+ (2035) and

  • All persons 21+ (2036) 

Per spot instance per hour impressions (a.k.a., hourly impressions) are only available for the Global market and are not yet available for local markets. They are available from the https://api.geopath.org/v2.2/inventory/spot/ endpoint and the https://api.geopath.org/v2.2/inventory/search endpoint.


Call :

The GET call for hourly impressions requires two parameters get passed. hourly_measures = true and target_segment, which needs to be one of the 4 supported audiences. This call is asking for the hourly impressions for spot identifier 631042 received by any person living anywhere in the united states.

Using the above data, we can apply our equation to calculate the hourly impressions per spot:

hourly impressions per spot = total_msg_impressions * ((3600*layout.share_of_voice)/(spots.length/spots.spot_share_of_voice))

In this case, for 5pm local time on Friday (Hour 17) "17": 256.2942, the equation would be as follows:

256.2942 * ((3600*1)/(8/.125))

Which equals 14416.54875 impressions per spot, per hour.


Use Case: Updating hourly measures for only recently updated inventory.


If you've previously requested hourly measures and stored them locally, you may want to update them after inventory has been re-audited and the measures may have changed. In this case, using the inventory/search endpoint will return hourly measures for multiple pieces of inventory.


Call:

This call is similar to other inventory/search calls, but adds the parameter "hourly_measures":true which tells the search that the request wants hourly measures. All other search parameters are available, which is why the request is able to narrow it down to a specific date range and operator. It is important to remember that the hourly_measures are still only available for core audiences and one of those audiences must be specified in the "target_segment" parameter.

Response:

The response includes the standard ````inventory/search``` response, but the measures object is expanded to include the "total_msg_impressions" object which details the impressions per play per hour per day of week.This response has been edited for length.

Note: the 2021 Midyear forecast became the default API response on 6/21/2021. 

Geopath is in the process of updating its annual measures for 2021.

This does not change the measures for 2020 but will be a new dataset that represents the forecast for 2021. 

Additionally, Geopath will release an updated midyear forecast for 2021. 

Currently when requesting measures, the response returns measures from the January 2021 forecast. The full list of the audiences available for 2021 measures can be found in this Excel file.

Given the accelerated rate of recovery from the COVID-19 Pandemic, Geopath will issue an updated annual forecast in June 2021. This midyear annual forecast will be a 12-month forecast and will reflect the expected audience delivery from June 2021 through May 2022. More information on this here.

While the 2020 and January 2021 data will remain available in the API, it should only be used for historical purposes moving forward. As always, Geopath members should clearly disclose which data vintage is being used when sharing Geopath audience data with other members or clients.

If  a use case requires previous measures, a new parameter has been added to all endpoints that return measures. It's detailed in the specific documentation for each endpoint, but on POST endpoints can be referenced as "measures_release" in the request body, and in GET endpoints, can be referenced using "measures_release" as a URL parameter. In either case, the supported values are 2020 or 2021 and "2021r1". If a value other than that is provided, 2025 for example, the API will respond with a 400 error.

The parameter to request 2021 Midyear impressions is "2021r1". This is currently scheduled to become the default release on June 21, 2021

To be clear, the use of this additional parameter is optional. If the parameter is not provided, the response will continue to return the most current released measures. Bulk files will continue to represent the default behavior unless otherwise noted. 

Please contact apisupport@geopath.org if you have any questions.
