Set Up with CLI

Install the Monid CLI and start querying data from the command line.

1. Install the CLI

npm install -g @monid-ai/cli

Verify the installation:

monid --version

2. Get an API Key

Go to Monid Dashboard to create an account if you don’t have one. Then go to API key management page to create an API key. Copy the key — it is only shown once.

3. Add the Key to the CLI

monid keys add --label main --key <your-api-key>

Then activate the newly added API key:

monid keys active ---lable main

4. Example Usage

# Search for data endpoints
monid discover -q "twitter posts"

# Inspect an endpoint to see its input schema and pricing
monid inspect -p apify -e /apidojo/tweet-scraper

# Run the endpoint
monid run -p apify -e /apidojo/tweet-scraper \
  -i '{"searchTerms":["AI"],"maxItems":10}'

# Get the results (use the run ID from the previous command)
monid runs get -r <run-id> -w
