Stream CLI

Note: The Stream CLI is currently in beta and may contain bugs. This should not be used against a production environment at this time. To report bugs, please follow the instructions below. Thank you for your support!

Stream's Command Line Interface (CLI) makes it easy to create and manage your Stream apps directly from the terminal. Currently, only Chat is supported; however, the ability to manage Feeds will be coming soon.

🏗 Installation

The Stream CLI is easy to install and available via npm.

OR

$ yarn global add getstream-cli

🚀 Getting Started

In order to initialize the CLI, please have your Stream API key and secret ready. Run the following command:

$ stream config:set

You will then be prompted to enter your API key and secret.

$ ? What's your API key? 🔒
$ ? What's your API secret? 🔒

Now, you're good to go!

$ Your config has been generated! 🚀

Note: Your API key and secret can be found on the Stream Dashboard and is specific to your application.

🔨 Syntax

Basic commands use the following syntax:

$ stream command:COMMAND --arg1 "foo" --arg2 "bar"

Whereas commands for specific products use subcommands:

$ stream command:COMMAND:SUBCOMMAND --arg1 "foo" --arg2 "bar"

🎩 Fun Facts

Interested in using the calling the CLI from a script? Or maybe you simply want raw response data? You can do that! Many of the commands accept a json argument as a boolean. Just pass the following along to the CLI and you'll get back a full representation of the response (in a raw data format):

$ stream command:COMMAND --arg1 "foo" --arg2 "bar" --json

Need to copy the output to your clipboard? Not a problem. Just pipe the information to pbcopy (on macOS) along with the --json flag:

$ stream debug:token --token "foo.bar.baz" --json | pbcopy
