Linkding CLI

Use the linkding executable supplied by github:chickenzord/linkding-cli. These examples match version 0.1.0. Its commands use singular bookmark and tag; do not confuse it with other tools named linkding-cli that use bookmarks and tags.

Prepare

Run linkding version and linkding --help before relying on these examples. If the executable is outside PATH, try mise exec -- linkding version and prefix subsequent calls with mise exec --.
Require LINKDING_URL (instance base URL) and LINKDING_TOKEN (API token from Linkding Settings → Integrations). Check only whether they are set; never print the token, pass it as --token, include it in shell history, or write it into a skill or repository file. If either is absent, ask the user to provide it through the environment.
Use the environment for the instance URL. The --url flag on bookmark check, create, and update names the bookmark URL, so it can be confused with the global instance --url flag.
Read subcommand help for flags not shown here. Prefer the installed binary's help when it differs from this guide. Use the upstream CLI README for broader reference.

Read bookmarks and tags

Use --json for structured results; use -q only for one-item-per-line output. Quote URLs and search text.
