    Article summary

    Ion-Connect is a CLI (Command-Line Interface) tool that allows you to interact with the Ion Channel API.

    Installation

    1. Email support@exiger.com with a request to be provided the tool.
    2. Run the executable from the folder matching your operating system. Supported operating systems include Windows, Linux, and Darwin (includes macOS).

    Running Ion Connect

    To run Ion Connect, you will need to provide an API token to obtain access. Steps to obtain a token can be found here.

    To prevent the need to provide the API token each time you run Ion Connect, it is recommended to run the configure command.

    ion-connect configure

    Alternatively, the API token can be provided via an environment variable:

    IONCHANNEL_SECRET_KEY=<token> ion-connect [command]

    Usage

    All Ion Connect commands use the following format. See the section below for each command's flags and arguments.

    ion-connect [global flags] <command> [command flags] [arguments...]
    The only global flag for Ion Connect is --configure. This flag will indicate which configuration file to use. The default file is ~/.ionchannel/credentials.yaml.
