Actionbox CLI
Actionbox is input() for software that cannot wait at the terminal. The CLI
lets scripts, CI jobs, scheduled tasks, and AI agents ask a human for a decision
and continue when the answer arrives.
Install
Install the platform-specific CLI wrapper from PyPI:
pip install actionbox
Or use the standalone installer on macOS and Linux:
curl -fsSL https://actionbox.cloud/install.sh | sh
Get started
Create a Source in the Actionbox dashboard, then configure the CLI with its API key:
actionbox configure
actionbox doctor
actionbox ask "Deploy to production?" --option approve --option reject --wait
The waiting command exits after the Action is resolved. Stopping it with
Ctrl+C only stops local polling; the Action remains open in Actionbox.
Scheduled-job monitoring
Create and manage heartbeat Watches from the CLI, or wrap an existing command so Actionbox receives start, success, and failure signals:
actionbox watch list
actionbox run --watch-url "$ACTIONBOX_WATCH_URL" -- ./backup.sh
Keep Source API keys and Watch URLs in a secret manager or protected CI environment. Do not embed them in browser code, logs, or source control.
