Installation

The easiest way to install apigee-cli is to use pip in a virtualenv:

$ pip install apigeecli

or, if you are not installing in a virtualenv, to install globally:

$ sudo pip install apigeecli

or for your user:

$ pip install --user apigeecli

If you have the apigee-cli installed and want to upgrade to the latest version you can run:

$ pip install --upgrade apigeecli

Getting Started

Before using apigee-cli, you need to tell it about your Apigee Edge credentials. You can do this in three ways:

• Environment variables

• Config file

• Command-line arguments

The quickest way to get started is to run the apigee configure command:

$ apigee configure
Apigee username (email) []: my_email
Apigee password []: my_pass
Apigee MFA key (optional) []: my_key
Identity zone name (to support SAML authentication) []:
Use OAuth, no MFA (optional)? [y/N]: n
Default Apigee organization (recommended) []: my_org
Default team/resource prefix (optional) []:

To use environment variables, do the following:

$ export APIGEE_USERNAME=<my_email>
$ export APIGEE_PASSWORD=<my_pass>
$ export APIGEE_MFA_SECRET=<my_key>
$ export APIGEE_ZONENAME=<my_zonename>
$ export APIGEE_IS_TOKEN=<bool>
$ export APIGEE_ORG=<my_org>
$ export APIGEE_CLI_PREFIX=<my_prefix>

To use the configuration file, create an INI formatted file like this:

[default]
username = my_email
org = my_org
mfa_secret = my_key
prefix = my_prefix
password = my_pass

[produser]
org = my_org
username = my_email
password = my_pass
mfa_secret = my_key

and place it in ~/.apigee/credentials.

As you can see, you can have multiple profiles defined in the configuration file. You can then specify which profile to use by using the -P/--profile option. If no profile is specified the default profile is used.

Using SAML authentication

If you specified an Identity zone name (to support SAML authentication) during setup, the CLI will automatically use SAML authentication. If you are not currently signed in by your identity provider, you will be prompted to sign in:

$ apigee apis list
SSO authorization page has automatically been opened in your default browser.
Follow the instructions in the browser to complete this authorization request.

If your browser did not automatically open, go to the following URL and sign in:

https://{zoneName}.login.apigee.com/passcode

then copy the Temporary Authentication Code.

Please enter the Temporary Authentication Code:

zoneName will be the Identity zone name you previously configured.

Refer to the official Apigee documentation to learn more about how to Access the Edge API with SAML.

Using SAML with automated tasks

The CLI also supports machine users as described in Using SAML with automated tasks when SAML is enabled to support automation for common development tasks, such as test automation or Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD).

To tell the CLI that the current user --profile is a machine user and thus to not redirect you to an identity provider, you can set the following environment variable like so:

$ export APIGEE_CLI_IS_MACHINE_USER=true

To continue using an ordinary user, you will need to unset this variable or set it to false.

Refer to the official Apigee documentation to learn more about identity zones: SAML Overview.

Troubleshooting

If you get an error like so:

An exception of type jwt.api_jws.DecodeError occurred. Arguments:
Invalid crypto padding

Try deleting the cached access token:

$ rm ~/.apigee/access_token
