Today marks a very proud moment for everyone here. Our Vonage CLI (Command Line Interface) is now v1.0.0. I honestly couldn't be happier with how things have gone so far, and I know they will only get better from here.
You can now manage your applications from the command line. The Vonage CLI will allow you to create, update, link numbers to, and even delete applications.
You will also be able to manage application users, in-app conversations, and conversation members.
At the core of Vonage is the telephone - it's how I first learned of them 17 years ago. The Vonage CLI will let you buy or cancel phone numbers, search our inventory, and view yours.
Vonage's Number Insight API delivers real-time intelligence about a phone number's validity, reachability, and roaming status. You can now have these insights on the command line - in basic, standard and advanced.
And lastly, the Vonage CLI can create a JWT in your terminal for testing and development. You can also check your account balance.
The latest core is on npm and you can install it with:
npm install -g @vonage/cliOnce you have that installed, you will need to go to your dashboard to grab your API key and secret, and set your config with the following:
Now you are set to start exploring using --help, -h on any command.
The Nexmo CLI will move into maintenance mode and receive bug fixes for the next year—until September 21, 2022. At that time, it will officially deprecate and will no longer be supported.
I only want the best tools here, but I can't do it without you. Your feedback and support are fantastic, and with all of us working together, we can make the future of our CLI something special.
