Use the Bytes CLI

The Bytes CLI provides a convenient route to the Developer API without writing your own HTTP client.

Install the CLI

Install the current package:

npm install --global @jawwws/bytes-cli

Create an API key

Create an API key in Workspace Settings > Developer API.

The key determines which workspace the CLI can access.

Configure the CLI

Follow the current authentication and configuration instructions in the CLI Developer Docs.

What you can use it for

The CLI can support:

  • creating Links
  • listing and inspecting Links
  • adding and managing tags
  • supporting scripts and automation
  • testing Developer API access

Plan limits and permissions

The CLI uses the same workspace rules as the Bytes application.

It does not bypass active Link limits, workspace permissions, validation, paid feature gates, rate limits or security controls.

Technical reference

For command syntax, API responses and troubleshooting, use the Bytes CLI Developer Docs.
