Documentation

Getting Started

In order to interact with the BWAPI from the command line we first need to setup a current user in the .bwcli config file. Please note that the config file enables us to hold multiple users which we can easily switch between.

Add new user to config

In order to use bwcli you need to have a .bwcli file in your root directory, don't worry I've got your back. When you create a new user the file will be created automatically. So, to get the show on the road add a user to your config file:

bwcli config add -u [email protected] -p your_password -e enviroment

When you create a user for the first time bwcli will automatically set this user as your current user. When you add new users to your config, bwcli will ask whether you want to set this user as your current user.

View user config

Returns the users currently stored in the config file along with the current user if set.

bwcli config list

Set current user

Sets the user as the current user. The set or switch command can be used.

bwcli config set -u anotheruser@domain -e environment

Remove user

Removes the specific user from the config file, no warning is given.

bwcli config remove -u anotheruser@domain -e environment

View current user

Returns the current user set in the config file.

bwcli config user

Authenticate current user

Please note that when ever you make a request to an endpoint bwcli will ensure you are authenticated with brandwatch so the login command doesn't need to run everytime.

bwcli config login

Reset user config

Wipe your config file and restart, warning is given and the user must respond with a yes or y to confirm.

bwcli config reset
