Omnivore CLI

Overview

The omnivore CLI is a typer-based command-line tool provided by the omnivore_api Python package.

Entry point: omnivore_api/cli.py → registered as omnivore via [project.scripts] in pyproject.toml.

First-time Setup

omnivore init
# prompts for API token and API URL
# writes to ~/.config/omnivore-api/config.yaml

Config file format (~/.config/omnivore-api/config.yaml):

api_token: "your-token-here"
api_url: "https://api-prod.omnivore.app/api/graphql"

Available Commands

Command	Description	Key options
omnivore init	Interactive config setup	—
omnivore save-url <url>	Save a URL	--label (repeatable)
omnivore get-articles	List inbox articles	--limit, --after, --query, --format
omnivore get-profile	Current user info	—
omnivore get-labels	All labels	—

All read commands output JSON to stdout.

Usage Examples

# Save with labels
omnivore save-url https://example.com --label reading --label python

# Paginated fetch, markdown format
omnivore get-articles --limit 20 --after 20 --format markdown

omnivore get-labels | jq '.[].name'

Adding a New CLI Command

1. Open omnivore_api/cli.py
2. Add a new function decorated with @app.command("command-name")
3. Use Annotated + typer.Option / typer.Argument for parameters
4. Call the corresponding OmnivoreAPI method via _load_config()
5. Output with typer.echo(json.dumps(result, indent=2))

Example skeleton:

@app.command("delete-article")
def delete_article(
    article_id: Annotated[str, typer.Argument(help="Article ID")],
):
    """Delete an article from Omnivore."""
    client = _load_config()
    result = client.delete_article(article_id)
    typer.echo(json.dumps(result, indent=2))
