Attention.

Bids and prices are passed via the Yandex.Direct API as integer numbers. The value that is passed represents the bid or price multiplied by 1,000,000.
All bids and prices are shown in the advertiser's currency.

How bids and priorities are applied

The bid or priority is used depending on which display strategy is selected in the campaign:

If a manual strategy is set up in the campaign, the ContextBid parameter is used.
If the campaign has an automatic strategy set up, the StrategyPriority parameter is used: ads for audience targets with higher priority are allocated more traffic when possible, and they are the last ones to be stopped when budget funds are low.

If there isn't a parameter appropriate to the strategy, the default value is preserved.

If the strategy is manual but the bid isn't specified, the minimum bid is set by default (it depends on the advertiser's currency).
If the strategy is automatic but the priority isn't specified, the average priority is set by default.

If a parameter is specified that isn't appropriate for the strategy, its value is saved.

If the strategy is manual but the priority is specified, this priority value will be applied later when the strategy is switched to an automatic one.
If the strategy is automatic but a bid is specified, this bid value will not be applied: if the strategy switches from automatic to manual, the bid will be set according to an automatic algorithm.
