Tech and industry (Automotive and mobility), Finance offer
A finance offer as a car advert makes it: the model's picture full bleed between letterbox bars, its name in wide capitals, then the offer as five figures in one row of credits, all at one size so that no figure is ever smaller than the monthly payment: the payment, the representative APR, the term, the deposit and the total payable. What the price includes and the representative example in words stand under them on every frame. Each figure is lit in turn, then the dealer's button and the presenter take the name's place. The clip adds nothing up.

What it accepts
A finance offer as a car advert makes it: the model between letterbox bars, its name in wide capitals, then five figures at one size (monthly payment, representative APR, term, deposit, total payable), what the price includes and the representative example. Told in turn, then the dealer's button. Nothing is worked out. About eleven seconds. metaData is never drawn.

clipData | group | yes | Clip data: Everything drawn in the clip: the model's name and picture, the five figures of the finance offer, what the price includes, the representative example, the lender, the consumption and emissions line, the call to action and your legal line. | |

locales carries other languages: under each language code, the parts of clipData and metaData that differ, laid over the default, so a language with no copy still renders.
A picture is always a file from your media library: media:// followed by its id or its name.
Anything the table does not list is refused, and so is anything over its limit, with a 400
schema_validation error that names the field.

Delivery JSON
Your own system sends this to one of your streams, POST /v1/stream, and every channel listening to
that stream draws it with its template. data is the document described above; a stream with an
empty field map passes it to the template unchanged. Try it first on POST /v1/stream/validate,
which answers the same without publishing anything. Streams and feeds
explains the rest, including how to map a document of your own shape instead.

The delivery names no version: which build draws it is the channel's choice, the newest of its
variant or the one it is pinned to. eventId is a ULID you make once per event: sending the same
one again changes nothing. occurredAt is when the thing happened, not when you sent it. locale
is the language of the text in data, and data.locales carries other languages beside it.
