It allows independent verification providers to measure various metrics, such as viewability, ad verification, and audience measurement, in a consistent and standardized manner. OMID provides an API that enables measurement and verification scripts to interact with the ad container, ensuring transparency and accountability in the advertising ecosystem.

How it is used

Ad verification and measurement vendors integrate OMID into their solutions to measure various ad metrics across different platforms and environments. Advertisers, publishers, and agencies can rely on OMID-compliant tools to ensure accurate measurement and transparent reporting, ultimately enhancing trust and accountability in the advertising ecosystem.
