CLI | Phonic

The Phonic CLI maps every API endpoint to a subcommand, so you can call Phonic without writing code — handy for scripting, CI, or an AI coding agent that shells out directly.

Install

npm

Shell (macOS / Linux)

PowerShell (Windows)

Build from source

$ npm install -g @phonic-ai/cli

Or run it without installing:

$ npx @phonic-ai/cli --help

Authenticate

$ export PHONIC_API_KEY="your_api_key"

A .env file in the working directory also works — the CLI loads it automatically.

Usage

Every API resource is a subcommand:

$ phonic <resource> <method>

$ phonic <resource> <method> --json '{"key": "value"}'

Run phonic --help or phonic <resource> --help to see what’s available.

Useful flags

Flag	Description
`--dry-run`	Validate the request locally and print the HTTP request without sending it
`--json <JSON\|->`	Supply a request body as JSON (or `-` to read stdin)
`--format <json\|table\|yaml\|csv>`	Output format (default `json`)
`--page-all`	Auto-paginate and stream results as NDJSON
`-q, --quiet`	Suppress stdout output on success
