hasdata

Use the hasdata CLI for real-time web data. One subcommand per API — flags, enums, defaults are derived from the live schema at api.hasdata.com/apis.

Prerequisites

• command -v hasdata — if missing, install with curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HasData/hasdata-cli/main/install.sh | sh.
• One-time setup: the user runs hasdata configure, pastes their API key, and it's saved to ~/.hasdata/config.yaml (mode 0600). Every future call picks it up automatically.
• If a call fails with no API key configured, the user hasn't run hasdata configure yet — tell them to. Never invent a key.

Quick start

hasdata <api> --flag value [--flag value ...] --raw | jq .

Always pass --raw when piping to jq (skips pretty-print and TTY detection). Use --pretty only for human-readable terminal output.
