**If the offer contract is new or has never been configured for Geo targeting previously, your first API call must specify which countries are allowed (allow_countries=true). A subsequent call can be made to specify a redirect contract(s) for non-allowed geos. This field can be passed as either true or false if add_edit_option=remove

Example Values: True, False

redirect_site_offer_contract_ids
Required
Type: STRING
Length (Max): NA

You must pass as many IDs as countries. You can pass 0 for each country that doesn't have a specific redirect. If you wish to send traffic from a certain geo to another contract within the same offer (internal redirect), you will pass allow_countries=true and then the corresponding contract id(s) in this field. 

Example Values: 3175,6362

default_redirect_site_offer_contract_id
Required
Type: INT
Set the default redirect for all non-allowed geos
Example Values: 3175

**Note all optional parameters still need to be passed through in the actual call. These parameters do not need a value (therefore you can use a null value).
