ohbee-cli

Command-line interface for ohbee.link — shorten URLs, bulk process, create pastes.

Install

# or run without installing:
npx ohbee-cli shorten https://example.com/long-url

Commands

shorten

ohbee shorten <url>
ohbee shorten https://example.com/very/long/url
ohbee shorten https://example.com/path -c   # copy to clipboard

bulk

# urls.txt: one URL per line

config

ohbee config --set-token <your-token>   # save token once
ohbee config --show                     # view current config

Authentication

Token priority (highest to lowest):

1. --token <token> flag on any command
2. OHBEE_TOKEN environment variable
3. ~/.ohbee/config.json (set via ohbee config --set-token)

Anonymous usage works but is rate-limited.
