Straight from the command's own help.

p202 ppc-network variable create 3 --name 'Ad id' --parameter adid --placeholder '{ad_id}'

02What you get

Pick the shape you need. People get a table. Add --json, --csv or --ndjson for scripts, or -q for ids only. An AI agent gets compact JSON without asking. All output formats

Pick values and the command line writes itself, quoted and ready to paste.

04Flags

4 flags, plus the global flags every command takes.

FlagWhat it does
--idempotency-keystringRetry-safe create: the server records the response under this key and replays it on a retry with the same key and payload instead of creating a duplicate
--namestringThe variable's name in reports
--parameterstringThe link's parameter, e.g. adid (no spaces, &, #, ?, =)
--placeholderstringWhat the traffic source fills in, e.g. {ad_id} (no spaces, &, #, ?)

05For agents

Running this from an agent

  • Read the same facts as JSON: p202 commands ppc-network variable create --json.
  • With AI_AGENT, CLAUDECODE or another agent variable set, output is compact JSON and errors arrive on stderr as a JSON envelope with a hint.
  • Exit codes: 0 ok, 1 bad input, 2 auth, 3 network, 4 server error, 5 partial failure.
  • This command writes. Add --staged to record it as a proposal a person applies with p202 change apply.
