Price granularity defines the CPM price buckets into which demand partner bids will be grouped in the ad server. For more information, see Prebid documentation.

Property Type Description

ranges array Container object describing the price granularity range.
ranges.max integer The maximum length of the range.
ranges.increment float The amount to increment through the range.
