Command line client for interacting with various Rackspace Cloud APIs.

Command line client is available on PyPi and can be installed using pip:

pip install raxcli

Credentials can be set (in order of precedence) as environment variables in a configuration file or you can pass them manually to each command.

Default configuration file path is ~/.raxrc but you can overrride it by setting the RAXCLI_RAXRC environment variable. For example:

RAXCLI_RAXRC=~/.raxrc.uk raxcli registry services list

Example configuration files can be found in the examples/ directory.

raxcli <service> <resource> <action> [options]

For example:

raxcli registry services list

To specify a custom formatter, use -f option. For example:

raxcli registry services list -f json
