Finding the right command
When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:
bash
google-ads-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"
resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code
means at least one match; exit code
means no confident match — fall back to
or use a narrower query.
Auth Setup
Store your OAuth2 access token:
bash
google-ads-pp-cli auth set-token YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
Also set
GOOGLE_ADS_DEVELOPER_TOKEN
; set
GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID
when calling through a manager account.
Agent Mode
Add
to any command. Expands to:
--json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes
.
-
Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr
-
Filterable —
keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:
bash
google-ads-pp-cli customers_google_ads search mock-value --agent --select id,name,status
-
Previewable —
shows the request without sending
-
Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available
-
Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag
-
Explicit retries — use
only when an already-existing create should count as success, and
only when a missing delete target should count as success
Response envelope
Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:
json
{
"meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
"results": <data>
}
Parse
for data and
to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable
summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal — piped/agent consumers get pure JSON on stdout.
Agent Feedback
When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:
google-ads-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
google-ads-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
google-ads-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10
Entries are stored locally at
~/.google-ads-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl
. They are never POSTed unless
GOOGLE_ADS_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT
is set AND either
is passed or
GOOGLE_ADS_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true
. Default behavior is local-only.
Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.
Output Delivery
Every command accepts
. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:
| Sink | Effect |
|---|
| Default; write to stdout only |
| Atomically write output to (tmp + rename) |
| POST the output body to the URL ( or when ) |
Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.
Named Profiles
A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.
google-ads-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
google-ads-pp-cli --profile briefing customers_google_ads search mock-value
google-ads-pp-cli profile list --json
google-ads-pp-cli profile show briefing
google-ads-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes
Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults.
lists all available profiles under
so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.
Async Jobs
For endpoints that submit long-running work, the generator detects the submit-then-poll pattern (a
/
/
field in the response plus a sibling status endpoint) and wires up three extra flags on the submitting command:
| Flag | Purpose |
|---|
| Block until the job reaches a terminal status instead of returning the job ID immediately |
| Maximum wait duration (default 10m, 0 means no timeout) |
| Initial poll interval (default 2s; grows with exponential backoff up to 30s) |
Use async submission without
when you want to fire-and-forget; use
when you want one command to return the finished artifact.
Exit Codes
