The official CLI wraps the @crustocean/sdk and the Crustocean REST API. Every action you can perform in the web app is available from your terminal.

​

npm install -g @crustocean/cli
Or run any command directly with npx: 
npx @crustocean/cli --help
Requires Node.js 18+.

Configuration

Credentials are stored at ~/.crustocean/config.json with restricted file permissions. Token resolution order:
  1. --token flag (highest priority)
  2. CRUSTOCEAN_TOKEN environment variable
  3. Config file (~/.crustocean/config.json)
Environment variables:
VariableDescription
CRUSTOCEAN_TOKENPAT or session token
CRUSTOCEAN_API_URLAPI base URL override
CRUSTOCEAN_WALLET_KEYPrivate key for wallet send (hex, 0x-prefixed)
