Courier CLI

Build, test, and manage your Courier integration directly from the command line.

The Courier CLI is a developer tool to help you build, test, and manage your integration with Courier directly from the command line. It’s simple to install, works on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and offers a range of functionality to enhance your developer experience with Courier. You can use the Courier CLI to:

• Send messages from the command line to users, lists, or audiences
• Track events to trigger your Courier Automations
• Push & pull industry-standard translation files for internationalizing your content

Installing the Courier CLI

From the command-line, use the following command to install the Courier CLI and set your API key:

$ npm install -g @trycourier/cli
$ courier config --apikey <your-api-key>

Authenticate the CLI

The fastest way to get started is to run:

$ courier config --apikey <your-api-key>

Courier CLI looks for an environment variable named COURIER_API_KEY. It will load that key from the first location it finds in the following list:

• A .courier file in the current working directory
• ~/.courier (in your home directory)

You can find your Courier API key in your Courier Settings.
