@zot-core/cli

Command-line interface for the Zot API.

npx @zot-core/cli waitlist create --name "Early Access" --write-env .env.local --public

Install

npm install -g @zot-core/cli        # global
npm install -D @zot-core/cli        # as a devDependency
npx @zot-core/cli <command>         # one-off

After installing, the binary is exposed as zot-cli:

zot-cli waitlist create --name "Early Access"

Authentication

Every command needs a Zot API key. Resolution order:

1. --api-key <key> flag
2. ZOT_API_KEY environment variable
3. .env.local in the working directory
4. .env in the working directory

Get your key at https://app.zot.so/app/api-keys.

Commands

zot-cli waitlist create

Create a waitlist via the API and optionally persist its ID into a .env file.

zot-cli waitlist create --name "Early Access"
zot-cli waitlist create --name "Early Access" --write-env .env.local
zot-cli waitlist create --name "Early Access" --write-env .env.local --public
zot-cli waitlist create --name "Quiet"        --no-send-email
zot-cli waitlist create --name "Scripted"     --json

| Flag | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | --name | (required) | Waitlist name. | | --api-key | $ZOT_API_KEY | Override the resolved API key. | | --send-email / --no-send-email | true | Send a welcome email to new signups. | | --write-env <file> | none | Upsert ZOT_WAITLIST_ID into that env file. | | --public | false | Also write NEXT_PUBLIC_ZOT_WAITLIST_ID (requires --write-env). | | --cwd <dir> | process.cwd() | Working directory for env resolution / writing. | | --json | | Emit the waitlist JSON instead of a formatted summary. |

Standard oclif flags like --help, -h, -v work everywhere.
