# variables/{name}

`POST /api/variables/{name}`

Set a User Variable's value. Body is the raw new value (plain text, not JSON). Add ?persist=true to save it to config/variables.json so it survives an fppd restart; omitted or any other value means the variable is in-memory only.

## Query parameters

- `persist` boolean

## Response `200`

OK

## Other responses

- `400` — Missing variable name in the path.
