madonctl

A CLI utility for Mastodon API

Synopsis

madonctl is a CLI tool for the Mastodon REST API.

You can use a configuration file to store common options. For example, create $HOME/.config/madonctl/madonctl.yaml with the following contents:

---
instance: "INSTANCE"
login: "USERNAME"
password: "USERPASSWORD"
...

The simplest way to generate a configuration file is to use the 'config dump' command.

(Configuration files in JSON are also accepted.)

If you want shell auto-completion (for bash or zsh), you can generate the completion scripts with "madonctl completion $SHELL". For example if you use bash:

madonctl completion bash > _bash_madonctl
source _bash_madonctl

Now you should have tab completion for subcommands and flags.

Note: Most examples assume the user's credentials are set in the configuration file.
