Documented steps

  1. Create a personal API key (phx_...) in PostHog settings with the feature_flag:write scope.
  2. POST to https://us.posthog.com/api/projects/:project_id/feature_flags/ (US) or https://eu.posthog.com/api/projects/:project_id/feature_flags/ (EU) — note the private API host differs from the ingestion host.
  3. Headers: Authorization: Bearer <personal_api_key>, Content-Type: application/json.
  4. Body: {"key": "<flag-key>" (required), "name": "<description>", "active": true, "filters": {"groups": [{"properties": [], "rollout_percentage": 100}]}}.
  5. 201 response returns the full flag object including its numeric id — keep it for later PATCH calls.
