akcli

A modern command-line interface for interacting with Akamai's API.

Built for engineers who work with Akamai on a daily basis, akcli removes the friction of working with Akamai's API directly. It exposes a set of commands to interact with different Akamai API endpoints, providing a fast and intuitive way to work with the platform without leaving the terminal.

Features

• Transparent EdgeGrid authentication — just point akcli to your .edgerc file and it handles the rest.
• Response caching to avoid hitting the API unnecessarily, with configurable TTL and cache directory.
• Proxy support to route requests through an HTTP/HTTPS proxy with a single config option.
• SSL certificate validation enabled by default, with the option to disable it for internal or development environments.
• TOML config file to persist your preferred defaults and never repeat the same flags.
• Visually modern CLI experience built with Typer and Rich.
