Usage
Flags

Project ID or slug. Both forms resolve to the same project.
Shared flags
Everyunkey api command accepts these; CLI output and shared flags describes them in full.
string
A JSON document sent as the request body instead of building it from the flags above. It is mutually exclusive with the request-building flags, and unknown fields are rejected locally. See Send a raw body.
string
Root key for the request. Falls back to
UNKEY_ROOT_KEY, then to the config file written by unkey auth login. See CLI authentication.string
default:"https://api.unkey.com"
Base URL of the API. Falls back to
UNKEY_API_BASE_URL. You don’t normally need to set it.string
default:"~/.unkey/config.toml"
Path of the TOML file that
unkey auth login writes. Falls back to UNKEY_CONFIG.string
Output format. Falls back to
UNKEY_OUTPUT. Set json to print the full response envelope (meta and data) for piping; any other value prints the request ID followed by data.Required permissions
Your root key needsenvironment.*.read_environment.
If the app doesn’t exist or your key doesn’t have the permission, you get the same 404: The requested app does not exist. See Root key permissions for the full catalog.
Examples
List the environments of an app:API endpoint
The command callsPOST /v2/environments.listEnvironments and prints its response. The request fields carry the same names as the flags in camelCase, which is the shape --body expects.
