Getting Started with the Kleinkram CLI and Python Package

The kleinkram CLI allows you to interact with kleinkram from the command line. This guide will help you get started with the CLI. The CLI does not yet support all functionalities so for some use cases you will still need to use the web interface.

Installation and Prerequisites

The CLI requires python3.8 or later. It is recommended that you use a virtual environment

virtualenv .venv -ppython3.8
source .venv/bin/activate

You can install the CLI using pip

pip install kleinkram

This will add the command klein to your path. You are ready to get started!

klein --help

Authentication

If you want to use the CL or the python package you need to authenticate yourself.

Eitherway you need to do this using the CLI:

klein login

Alternative Authentication Methods

If the above does not work, consider one of the following options:

Headless Authentication

In case your device does not support a browser you can use:

klein login --headless

Authentication inside Actions

When running the CLI inside a kleinkram action, the action will expose an environment variable APIKEY which can be used to authenticate the CLI. In this case you need to use the following command:

klein login --key $APIKEY

Next Steps

• using the CLI
• using the python package
