Agent-friendly command-line interface for xAPI — discover and call capabilities and APIs from your terminal or AI agent.
# Via npx (no install needed)
npx xapi-to --help
# Or install globally with npm
npm install -g xapi-to
# Or from source
cd xapi-cli && bun installThe published CLI runs on Node.js 18+. Bun is only required for local source development and tests.
Paste into Cursor, Claude Code, or any agent that supports skills:
npx skills add xapi-labs/xapi-cliThis installs the bundled xapi skill, which teaches the agent
how to call social, search, domains/DNS, crypto, BlockPI RPC, Binance Web3, and
AI services through this CLI. Then just ask
— "what's the price of BTC" — and it takes it from there. Set up a key first;
see Quick Start.
Providers can install the CLI-native xapi-provider skill,
which covers service registration, billing and WebSocket configuration,
revision publishing, observability, earnings, and linked usage Skills:
npx skills add xapi-labs/xapi-cli --skill xapi-providerWorkers projects can also install the standalone xapi-workers skill, covering deployment, all six managed resource types, complete consumption queries and cleanup:

Unified interface for capabilities (built-in) and APIs (third-party). Use --source capability|api to filter.
xapi-to list # list all actions
xapi-to list --source capability # only built-in capabilities

xapi-to call serper.search --input '{"body":[{"q":"OpenAI"},{"q":"Cloudflare"}]}' # Serper mini-batch
xapi-to call ai.text.chat.fast --input '{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hi"}]}' --streamDirect serper.* actions use a nested body. Eleven current v7 actions accept
one request object or a mini-batch array; serper.reviews accepts only one
object. See the bundled Serper guide for the
Action list, examples, and dynamic per-credit billing.
Search uses --sort default|relevance|price. default is the recommended
order: it considers keyword coverage and match quality first, then favors
stable built-in capabilities when matches are otherwise comparable.
relevance is source-neutral and selects the strongest text match. price
preserves keyword coverage and an exact action ID first, keeps endpoint-local
matches ahead of service-only matches, then orders comparable fixed per-call
USD list prices from low to high. Dynamic, per-token, per-resource, and unknown
prices appear after comparable prices in the same match bucket and are never
treated as free. All three modes rank the full matching result set before
applying --page and --page-size.
--stream forwards an HTTP Server-Sent Events (SSE) response; it is not a
WebSocket client. Active SSE and raw downloads may run longer than 60 seconds,
but abort after 60 seconds without data by default. Set
XAPI_TRANSFER_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS to change that idle timeout.
GPT Live is a WebSocket protocol and cannot be invoked with xapi-to call.
Read the WebSocket Gateway guide and use a
real WebSocket client. The packaged
examples/openai-gpt-live-text.mjs
demonstrates session.start, managed Responses delegation, text events, and a
graceful session.close without placing an xAPI key in source or CLI arguments.
Task helpers built on top of the task.poll capability.
xapi-to task poll 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000 # poll once
xapi-to task wait 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000 # wait until terminal status
xapi-to task wait 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000 --interval 1s --timeout 10mprovider manages APIs owned by your account. It uses XAPI_API_HOST
(default api.xapi.to) and the same saved or environment API key as other
commands. In the xAPI Console API Keys settings, grant service:create,
service:read, service:update, and service:publish. Legacy allowRegister
only grants creation, not the remaining lifecycle permissions. Missing
permissions return a nonzero exit with the required scope.
Start from examples/provider/openapi.json, replace its upstream URL, service details, and endpoint contract, then run:
# Inspect current rules; no API key required
xapi-to provider spec-rules --format pretty
# Import a raw OpenAPI 3.0.3 JSON object (not a {openApiSpec: ...} envelope)
xapi-to provider import --file openapi.json > imported.json
# Use the serviceId and revisionId from imported.json (jq is optional)
PROVIDER_SERVICE_ID=$(jq -er '.serviceId' imported.json)
PROVIDER_REVISION_ID=$(jq -er '.revisionId' imported.json)
# Save version configuration to move the draft revision to SANDBOX.
# config.json can be {"description":"Initial release"} when the imported
# endpoints, authentication, and pricing are already complete.
xapi-to provider update "$PROVIDER_SERVICE_ID" \
--revision "$PROVIDER_REVISION_ID" --file config.json
# Submit the specified revision, then wait for the actual publication result
xapi-to provider submit "$PROVIDER_SERVICE_ID" \
--revision "$PROVIDER_REVISION_ID" --changelog "Initial release"
xapi-to provider wait "$PROVIDER_SERVICE_ID" \
--revision "$PROVIDER_REVISION_ID" --interval 2s --timeout 10m
# Inspect owned services, configuration, version overview, or review reports
xapi-to provider list --format table
xapi-to provider get "$PROVIDER_SERVICE_ID" --format pretty
xapi-to provider versions "$PROVIDER_SERVICE_ID" --format pretty
xapi-to provider review "$PROVIDER_SERVICE_ID" --revision "$PROVIDER_REVISION_ID"When scripting these steps, stop on nonzero exit (for example, use set -e).
Import returns the backend validation/preview plus serviceId, revisionId,
and state. An HTTP 201 with success: false is a validation failure and exits
nonzero; its structured validation errors are preserved. Registration creates
a new service each time. If a response is lost, inspect provider list before
retrying to avoid duplicate services.
For an authenticated upstream, store credentials in a local JSON object such
as {"Authorization":"Bearer YOUR_UPSTREAM_KEY"} and pass
--private-headers-file private-headers.json to provider import. Keep this
file out of version control. --file - and --private-headers-file - accept
stdin, but only one input can consume stdin per command. Files must be JSON;
YAML and URL imports are not supported in this command group.
provider update --revision <id> reads a version configuration object, using the backend
fields description, baseUrl, baseUrls, authType, privateHeaders,
authConfig, openApiSpec, endpoints, and status. Prefer structured
privateHeaders for upstream credentials. Endpoint fields include billing
configuration such as billingType and costPerCall. Update does not accept
a raw OpenAPI document; the nested backend field is openApiSpec: {spec: ...}.
Saving that field alone does not re-import endpoint definitions; configure
endpoints explicitly when changing the contract.
--mode merge(default) sends PATCH and preserves omitted fields/endpoints. Existing endpoint edits requireid, e.g.{"endpoints":[{"id":"ENDPOINT_ID","costPerCall":"0.002"}]}.--allow-new-endpointsexplicitly permits ID-less merge entries to create endpoints. Repeating such a merge can create duplicates.--mode replacesends PUT. Ifendpointsis provided, it replaces the endpoint list; include every endpoint you intend to keep. Omitted fields otherwise follow backend PUT semantics. Use full configuration for replacement.
get retains its existing service response; --version v1.0 selects the
configuration returned by the backend. Find endpoint IDs in
currentVersion.endpoints; provider versions returns working revision IDs
in majors[].working.id. For an already-published API, use the existing
provider revision start <service-id> <major> command to create a working revision.
provider update without --revision continues to update service metadata
and rate limits. Existing version update, publish, and positional review
commands remain available. The submit and review --revision forms are
additional onboarding commands.
Updates to IN_REVIEW, PUBLISHED, or SUSPENDED revisions return a conflict;
the backend enforces this check under a transaction lock. When updating
privateHeaders, send the complete desired map: it replaces the old map and
rebuilds the derived authentication configuration. An empty map without an
explicit authConfig clears those credentials. Omitting both fields preserves them.
submit returns {serviceId, revisionId, submission}. A successful submission
does not guarantee publication. wait checks the requested revision, succeeds
only for PUBLISHED, and outputs the review report with success and reason.
--changelog is limited to 2,000 characters by both the CLI and backend.
Rejection, a draft/sandbox/suspended revision, or a legacy manual-review hold
exit nonzero. Pending review continues until publication, the timeout (default
10 minutes), or optional --max-attempts. Timeout and attempt-limit results
include the last received report; polling can be resumed with the same IDs.
The deadline also bounds in-flight HTTP requests and retry delays.
Reads retry transient errors; writes are never automatically retried. The CLI
redacts credential fields and known credential values from provider output.
Redacted reads are for inspection and must not be submitted unchanged as
configuration. After an ambiguous write failure, use list, get, or review
to inspect the result before repeating the operation. No npm release is implied
by a local source checkout; use bun run src/index.ts provider ... or build and
run node dist/index.js provider ... while testing unreleased changes.
Sandbox commands provide an AI-friendly cloud computer lifecycle. The fastest
safe path is sandbox run: it quotes by capabilities, applies a default
$0.20/hour ceiling, creates an instance, waits for RUNNING, executes the
command, and terminates in finally even when execution fails.
# One-shot execution with automatic cleanup
xapi-to sandbox run --command 'python3 -c "print(6 * 7)"'
# Arguments after a bare -- are joined as the remote command
xapi-to sandbox run -- node --version
# Pin a provider and request specific capabilities/resources
xapi-to sandbox run \
--provider cf-edge \
--capabilities exec,files,ports \
--cpu 1 --memory 1 \
--command 'pwd'
# Inspect selection before spending anything
xapi-to sandbox offerings --format table
xapi-to sandbox quote --capabilities exec,files --max-hourly-usd 0.10
# Every command has focused help
xapi-to sandbox create --help
xapi-to sandbox run --help
# Fine-grained lifecycle for agents that need several tool calls
xapi-to sandbox create --capabilities exec,files --wait
xapi-to sandbox exec <id> --command 'npm test' --timeout 120
xapi-to sandbox file write <id> task.md --file ./task.md
xapi-to sandbox file read <id> result.json --output ./result.json
xapi-to sandbox file list <id> --path . --depth 3
xapi-to sandbox port <id> 8080
xapi-to sandbox extension <id> runpod.connection_info --input '{}'
xapi-to sandbox audit <id> --kind operations
xapi-to sandbox history --state HISTORY --page-size 20
xapi-to sandbox suspend <id>
xapi-to sandbox resume <id>
xapi-to sandbox terminate <id>For a long-running Web server, select an Offering that explicitly declares
backgroundExec and ports, then use the provider-managed background mode:
# Confirm the selected row reports background=yes and ports=yes before creating.
xapi-to sandbox offerings --provider daytona --format table
xapi-to sandbox create \
--provider daytona \
--capabilities exec,backgroundExec,ports \
--wait
xapi-to sandbox exec <id> --provider daytona --background --command \
'python3 -m http.server 25319 --bind 0.0.0.0'
xapi-to sandbox port <id> 25319 --provider daytonaDo not substitute nohup ... & on providers that do not declare
backgroundExec: some providers reclaim the command session and its child
processes as soon as the foreground exec response completes. A successful
background response means the session was accepted; verify the public URL and
expected marker before reporting success.
--format table is a compact comparison view; truncated cells end with ….
Use the default JSON output when copying a complete quote ID, instance ID, or
audit payload. Sandbox subcommands reject unknown flags before making a request.
An exact --offering-id cannot be combined with --max-hourly-usd, because an
Offering bypasses requirements-based quote selection. Use requirements plus the
ceiling, or create from a quote whose price was already checked. Successful
create output includes clientIdempotencyKey. If create --wait fails after
the instance was accepted, its structured error includes the instance ID,
observed state, idempotency key, and inspect/terminate recovery commands.
Provider pinning uses a provider-specific gateway such as
cf-edge.sandbox.xapi.to; the CLI also resolves the deployed production aliases
daytona-sandbox.sandbox.xapi.to and e2b-sandbox.sandbox.xapi.to, while the
test gateways remain daytona.sandbox.test.xapi.to and
e2b.sandbox.test.xapi.to. Omit --provider or use auto for cross-provider
selection. sandbox run --keep is deliberately explicit because the instance
continues billing until later termination. Remote non-zero command exit codes
are returned as the CLI process exit code after cleanup.
For the test service, override only the Sandbox host; the CLI still refuses to
send the key outside *.xapi.to or localhost:
XAPI_SANDBOX_HOST=sandbox.test.xapi.to \
xapi-to sandbox run --provider cf-edge --command 'echo test-ok'The repository includes a real acceptance suite for the original nine Sandbox Playground workflows. It exercises catalog/quote, AI coding, CI repair, data analysis, parallel agents, GPU connection data, one-shot execution, Cloudflare web preview, suspend/resume, audits, billing, history, and a final zero-active- instance cleanup gate:
# Uses the API key already stored by `xapi-to config set apiKey=-`
npm run test:sandbox:playground -- --host sandbox.test.xapi.to
# Focused retry or lower-cost run
npm run test:sandbox:playground -- --host sandbox.test.xapi.to --only 8,9
npm run test:sandbox:playground -- --host sandbox.test.xapi.to --skip-gpuEach run writes a redacted JSON report under the operating system temporary directory. The key is read from normal CLI configuration or environment and is never accepted on the command line or written to the report.
The tenth Playground scenario uses the official OpenAI Agents SDK
SandboxAgent with DeepSeek through the OpenAI Chat Completions-compatible
https://ai.xapi.to/v1 gateway and xAPI Sandbox compute. The reusable adapter
is exported as xapi-to/openai-sandbox; its current verified scope is an empty
Manifest plus the SDK Shell capability. Run the real SDK agent loop against the
test service with:
XAPI_SANDBOX_KEY='sk-sandbox-test-...' \
XAPI_AI_KEY='sk-ai-production-...' \
npm run test:sandbox:openai -- \
--host sandbox.test.xapi.to \
--provider daytona \
--model deepseek-v4-proThe test keeps credentials separate: XAPI_AI_KEY is sent only to
ai.xapi.to, while XAPI_SANDBOX_KEY is sent only to the selected Sandbox
Gateway. A production key with both permissions may be supplied to both
variables. The test disables OpenAI tracing because an xAPI credential is not
an OpenAI telemetry credential, and configures useResponses: false because
ai.xapi.to currently exposes the Chat Completions protocol.
For a shorter, zero-context walkthrough of all three public entry points, run the standalone JavaScript demo. It creates its own instances and cleans each one up; no quote ID or instance ID needs to be prepared:
# Required for the default test host; paste without putting the key on argv.
read -s XAPI_SANDBOX_KEY && export XAPI_SANDBOX_KEY
# Required by the OpenAI/DeepSeek section; this targets production ai.xapi.to.
read -s XAPI_AI_KEY && export XAPI_AI_KEY
# Direct HTTP API + local CLI + OpenAI Agents SDK/DeepSeek
npm run demo:sandbox
# Run only one section
npm run demo:sandbox -- api
npm run demo:sandbox -- cli
npm run demo:sandbox -- openai
unset XAPI_SANDBOX_KEY XAPI_AI_KEYThe default test host uses a dedicated Sandbox credential. The OpenAI section
uses a separate production AI Gateway credential because there is currently no
test AI Gateway. The report includes credential source names but no credential
fragments; the CLI child receives only the Sandbox credential. The demo defaults
to Daytona and deepseek-v4-pro. Its final JSON verifies markers,
TERMINATED, successful operations, settled usage and billing,
service-calculated costs, and a zero-residual gate scoped to instances created
by that demo (unrelated account instances do not fail it).
Before the package version containing xapi-to/openai-sandbox is published,
run the same flow directly from this checkout. The example imports the adapter
from src/, defaults to sandbox.test.xapi.to, supports separate Sandbox and
AI Gateway credentials, and always closes the created session:
npm run example:sandbox:openai
# Mixed-environment credentials and optional overrides
XAPI_SANDBOX_KEY='sk-sandbox-test-...' \
XAPI_AI_KEY='sk-ai-production-...' \
XAPI_SANDBOX_HOST=sandbox.test.xapi.to \
XAPI_SANDBOX_PROVIDER=daytona \
XAPI_MODEL=deepseek-v4-pro \
npm run example:sandbox:openaiInspect delayed storage collection separately from the financial ledger:
xapi-to workers metering <worker-id> --env preview
xapi-to workers metering <worker-id> --env preview --jsonHuman output lists each resource's UTC collection window, source status, sample count, last sample and retry times. Missing samples are not zero usage; observed samples are not final settlement. An empty or truncated list does not prove complete history. This source read is independent of the billing snapshot.
workers manages continuously addressable JavaScript applications on
xAPI-hosted Cloudflare Workers for Platforms.
It is separate from sandbox: use Sandbox for arbitrary shell/build/GPU work,
and Workers for HTTP, WebSocket, Webhook, Cron, and persistent Agent entrypoints.
# New project: build, create/update resources, deploy preview, then promote the
# exact tested Artifact to production.

# Review the plan before resources are created.
xapi workers plan --env preview

# Code rollback never rolls back KV/D1/R2/DO/Queue/Workflow data or Secrets.

xapi workers logs <worker-id> --env production --tail --since 10m
xapi workers logs <worker-id> --env production --request-id <request-id>Choose init based on the starting point:
| Starting point | Command |
|---|---|
| New Worker | xapi workers init my-agent --template persistent-agent |
| Existing React, Vite, Vue, or static Next.js package | cd app && xapi workers init |
| Existing Worker with Wrangler | xapi workers init --from-wrangler ./wrangler.jsonc |
| Next.js SSR | Initialize vinext first, then import its generated Wrangler config |
Existing browser applications can be initialized in place. Detection reads
package.json and preserves the application's existing dev, build, and
test scripts:
cd existing-web-app
xapi workers init
npm install
npm run xapi:build
xapi workers plan --env preview
xapi workers push --env previewThe initializer adds xapi:build, xapi:worker:build, and
xapi:worker:dev, plus a small xapi-worker/index.ts, wrangler.jsonc, and
xapi.worker.json. xapi:worker:dev is only a package script around Wrangler;
there is no separate xAPI local runtime. Use --framework react|vite|vue|next
only when automatic package detection is ambiguous. init is a one-time
adapter setup, not a synchronization command; after it creates
xapi.worker.json, use resource commands and plan to manage state.
Next.js with output: 'export' is treated as static assets. SSR Next.js must
first create a Workers-compatible bundle with vinext (npx vinext check, then
npx vinext init) and import its generated Wrangler configuration. The CLI
refuses to misclassify an SSR application as a static SPA.
Web projects can declare their browser build separately from Worker modules.
The CLI preserves supported Wrangler assets settings and uploads the files
through xAPI as Cloudflare native static assets:
{
"assets": {
"directory": "dist/client",
"binding": "ASSETS",
"notFoundHandling": "single-page-application",
"runWorkerFirst": ["/api/*"]
}
}workers plan shows whether the selected environment has a dedicated hostname.
When webAppReady is false, production promotion asks you to review the base
path, root-relative routes, and OAuth callbacks without blocking applications
that deliberately support path-prefix hosting. The current JSON Artifact
transport accepts 12 MiB of decoded Worker modules and static assets per
deployment.
Templates are versioned packages shipped with the CLI, not remote code fetched
during init. persistent-agent includes buildable source plus KV, D1, R2,
Durable Object, Queue, and Workflow declarations. push provisions the
environment-specific resources and returns their binding state; secret values
remain a separate operation:
export APP_TOKEN='replace-with-an-incoming-request-token'
export MODEL_KEY='replace-with-an-ai.xapi.to-key'
xapi workers secrets set <worker-id> APP_TOKEN --env preview --from-env APP_TOKEN
xapi workers secrets set <worker-id> MODEL_KEY --env preview --from-env MODEL_KEYThe project workflow works without Git. xapi.worker.json may be committed,
but Secret values must stay in environment variables or the encrypted Secret
store. push never silently deletes extra stateful resources or Secrets.
For project-managed resources, xapi.worker.json is the Git-tracked desired
state and xAPI is live state. plan always fetches live state; the CLI keeps no
third cached copy.
| Intent | Project command | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Declare a new resource | resources add |
Adds desired state only. |
| Adjust an existing declaration | resources update |
Replaces the complete declaration locally; plan decides whether live state can follow. |
| Adopt live-only resources | resources pull |
Reads live state and merges portable fields locally. |
| Stop declaring a resource | resources remove |
Removes desired state only; the live resource remains billable. |
| Delete resource data | resources destroy --yes |
Removes the one-environment declaration and requests live deletion. |
| Reconcile | workers plan |
Reads and compares current live state without mutation. |
Add desired resources before applying them:
xapi workers resources add --env both --type kv --binding CACHE
xapi workers resources add --env both --type d1 --binding DB \
--location apac --read-replication auto
xapi workers resources add --env both --type r2 --binding FILES --location apac
xapi workers resources add --env both --type do --binding ROOM --class-name Room
xapi workers resources add --env both --type queue --binding JOBS
xapi workers resources add --env both --type workflow --binding PIPELINE
# Replace the complete desired declaration before it has been provisioned.
xapi workers resources update --env preview --type d1 --binding DB \
--location weur --read-replication disabled
xapi workers plan --env preview
xapi workers push --env previewresources add changes only xapi.worker.json; plan shows the resulting
provider operations and push applies them. Repeating an identical add is a
no-op, while reusing a binding for another type is rejected. --env both
declares the same binding independently for preview and production; it does not
make both environments share one physical resource.
push creates missing preview resources only after its full plan passes.
promote performs the same production preflight and, after confirmation,
creates missing production declarations before activating the exact tested
preview Artifact. A budget mismatch, missing Secret, incompatible binding, or
undeclared production resource blocks the command before any resource or
deployment write. If creation requires an accepted freeze quote, pass its exact
version with --retention-price-version.
resources update requires the resource type because it replaces the complete
portable declaration. Before the project is linked, it can correct any local
declaration. After linking, it rejects type and Durable Object class changes.
Changing a live location or D1 replication mode is
reported as BLOCKED: the current xAPI API has no in-place resource update, so
create a new binding, migrate data, and switch the application explicitly.
Adopt supported live resources that are missing locally with an explicit pull:
xapi workers plan --env preview
xapi workers resources pull --env preview
git diff -- xapi.worker.json
xapi workers plan --env previewpull performs an additive, all-or-nothing merge. It preserves local-only
declarations, writes no provider IDs, deletes nothing, and rejects unhealthy,
unsupported, duplicate, or conflicting remote bindings. --env both reads and
merges preview and production independently.
Use resources remove --env ... --binding ... only when the live resource must
remain. plan then marks it MANUAL, and resources pull can adopt it again.
To delete data, back it up first and run:
xapi workers resources destroy --env preview --binding FILES --yesdestroy accepts one environment at a time, removes the local declaration
before requesting deletion, and reports deletion as requested until the live
resource disappears. If the request fails, the live resource remains visible
and resources pull restores the declaration. resources list/create/delete <worker-id> ... remain low-level recovery primitives and do not update project
files.
Deployment identity includes the code Artifact, remote resource identities, Secret versions, environment bindings and compatibility settings. Changing only resources or compatibility settings therefore deploys again; repeating an unchanged push reuses the current activation. Older deployments without this configuration fingerprint require one deployment to establish the baseline.
Removing a resource from xapi.worker.json does not destroy it: plan
reports MANUAL, and the resource remains billable. resources destroy is the
project-aware destructive operation. Preserve a backup before using it and wait
until resources list no longer returns the binding. A successful deployment
alone is not proof of deletion or final billing settlement.
In CI,
set XAPI_KEY and XAPI_API_HOST explicitly, use a Key restricted to the target
Worker, and pass --non-interactive; safety preflights are still enforced:
export XAPI_API_HOST=test.xapi.to
export XAPI_KEY="$CI_XAPI_KEY"
xapi workers plan --env preview --format json
xapi workers push --env preview --non-interactive

Provider commands use scoped XAPI-KEY routes for service and release
management without a JWT exchange:
xapi-to provider list
xapi-to provider create --file ./service.json
xapi-to provider update <service-id> --about-file ./ABOUT.md --website https://example.com
xapi-to provider update <service-id> --rate-limit-requests 100 --rate-limit-period-seconds 60
xapi-to provider update <service-id> --clear-rate-limit
xapi-to provider versions <service-id>
xapi-to provider revision start <service-id> 1
xapi-to provider version update <service-id> <version-id> --file ./contract.json
xapi-to provider diff <service-id> 1
xapi-to provider publish <service-id> <revision-id> --changelog-file ./CHANGELOG.md
xapi-to provider metrics <service-id> --days 7
xapi-to provider events --after '<opaque-next-cursor>'Service rate limits are optional and supported only for proxied services. Both numeric flags are required when setting a limit; the quota is shared by all API keys belonging to the same user for that service.
Service usage tutorials are Skill packages. Scaffold one from the serving contract, submit it for review, wait for publication, then link it:
xapi-to provider skill scaffold <service-id> --output ./my-skill/SKILL.md
xapi-to skill submit --dir ./my-skill
xapi-to skill wait <submission-id> --timeout 10m
xapi-to provider skill link <service-id> <skill-id>
xapi-to provider skill fingerprint <service-id> --skill-version-id <version-id>Run xapi-to provider --help and xapi-to skill --help for the complete
lifecycle, rollback, deletion, GitHub import, scope, and safety options.
xapi-to config show # show current config
xapi-to config set apiKey=- # paste key, then press Ctrl-D
xapi-to config health # check backend connectivityXAPI_KEY overrides XAPI_API_KEY, and both override the config file. The CLI
warns when a saved key is shadowed. Unset the environment variable before
register, including register --force, so the new account key becomes active.
Before calling any action, always read its schema first to understand required parameters:
# 1. Find the action
xapi-to search "twitter"
# 2. Read its schema
xapi-to get twitter.tweet_detail
# 3. Call with correct parameters
xapi-to call twitter.tweet_detail --input '{"tweet_id":"1234567890"}'For APIs that return binary data, use --output to request raw bytes and save
them directly. The CLI refuses to overwrite an existing file.
xapi-to call openrouter.audio_speech \
--input '{"body":{"input":"Hello","model":"hexgrad/kokoro-82m","voice":"af_bella"}}' \
--output speech.mp3Normal command output is JSON by default. call --stream writes raw HTTP SSE
frames, while call --output writes raw response bytes to the requested file.

- General action commands retain compatibility with
xapi.to,*.xapi.to,xapi.xyz,*.xapi.xyz, and localhost/loopback development hosts. Sandbox commands deliberately apply the stricter*.xapi.to/localhost-only policy. - The key is stored at
~/.xapi/config.json; the CLI enforces owner-only Unix permissions — do not expose this file topupoutputs a payment URL containing the API key — do not share publicly

Framework output can be exported with Wrangler's deploy --dry-run --outfile dist/app.worker.bundle and published through xapi workers push. The CLI
retains native module names/types/bytes and separately publishes static Assets.
See the Workers guide
for configuration, supported metadata and current transport boundaries.
