@zot-core/cli

Command-line interface for the Zot API.

npx @zot-core/cli waitlist create --name "Early Access" --write-env .env.local --public

Install

npm install -g @zot-core/cli        # global
npm install -D @zot-core/cli        # as a devDependency
npx @zot-core/cli <command>         # one-off

After installing, the binary is exposed as zot-cli:

zot-cli waitlist create --name "Early Access"

Authentication

Every command needs a Zot API key. Resolution order:

1. --api-key <key> flag
2. ZOT_API_KEY environment variable
3. .env.local in the working directory
4. .env in the working directory

Get your key at https://app.zot.so/app/api-keys.

Commands

zot-cli waitlist create

Create a waitlist via the API and optionally persist its ID into a .env file.

zot-cli waitlist create --name "Early Access"
zot-cli waitlist create --name "Early Access" --write-env .env.local
zot-cli waitlist create --name "Early Access" --write-env .env.local --public
zot-cli waitlist create --name "Quiet"        --no-send-email
zot-cli waitlist create --name "Scripted"     --json

Flag	Default	Description
--name	(required)	Waitlist name.
--api-key	$ZOT_API_KEY	Override the resolved API key.
--send-email / --no-send-email	true	Send a welcome email to new signups.
--write-env <file>	none	Upsert ZOT_WAITLIST_ID into that env file.
--public	false	Also write NEXT_PUBLIC_ZOT_WAITLIST_ID (requires --write-env).
