Required Scalar Argument

  • <id> (integer)
    • The account id

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Account:
  cookie-matching-nid: string
  cookie-matching-url: string
  id: integer
  kind: string
  maximum-active-creatives: integer
  maximum-total-qps: integer
  number-active-creatives: integer

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . cookie-matching-nid=et
    • The nid parameter value used in cookie match requests. Please contact your technical account manager if you need to change this.
  • cookie-matching-url=magna
    • The base URL used in cookie match requests.
  • id=90
    • Account id.
  • kind=ipsum
    • Resource type.
  • maximum-active-creatives=73
    • The maximum number of active creatives that an account can have, where a creative is active if it was inserted or bid with in the last 30 days. Please contact your technical account manager if you need to change this.
  • maximum-total-qps=74
    • The sum of all bidderLocation.maximumQps values cannot exceed this. Please contact your technical account manager if you need to change this.
  • number-active-creatives=93
    • The number of creatives that this account inserted or bid with in the last 30 days.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.
