Command-line interface (CLI)

The Moneybird CLI is an official command-line interface for the Moneybird API. It reads the OpenAPI specification at runtime to resolve commands, generate help, and map parameters, so the CLI stays in sync with the API automatically.

When to use the CLI

Use the CLI to explore the API interactively, script ad-hoc automations, pipe Moneybird data into tools like jq, or prototype a request before wiring it into an application. For production integrations inside an application, call the API directly. The CLI is optimized for humans and agents working in a terminal.

Quick start

Code
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moneybird/moneybird-cli/main/install.sh | bash
moneybird-cli login <your-token>
moneybird-cli contacts list

Create the API token under Settings > External applications and AI connections > New API token in Moneybird. See Authentication for background on tokens and scopes.
