Set Up for CLI

Install the Monid CLI and start querying data from the command line.

1. Install the CLI

curl -fsSL https://monid.ai/install.sh | bash

Verify the installation:

monid --version

2. Get an API Key

Go to https://app.dev.monid.ai to create an account if you don't have one. Then go to https://app.dev.monid.ai/access/api-keys to create an API key.

Copy the key -- it is only shown once.

3. Add the Key to the CLI

monid keys add --label main --key <your-api-key>

The first key you add is automatically set as the active key.

4. Example Usage

# Search for data endpoints
monid discover -q "twitter posts"

# Inspect an endpoint to see its input schema and pricing
monid inspect -p apify -e /apidojo/tweet-scraper

# Run the endpoint
monid run -p apify -e /apidojo/tweet-scraper \
  -i '{"searchTerms":["AI"],"maxItems":10}'

# Get the results (use the run ID from the previous command)
monid runs get -r <run-id> -o tweets.json
