cometapi config set api_key sk-…  # Set a value
cometapi config unset api_key     # Remove a value
cometapi config path              # Show config file path

Examples

# Switch default output to JSON (all commands)
cometapi config set output_format json

# Change default model
cometapi config set default_model claude-sonnet-4-6

# Override per-command (regardless of config)
cometapi models --format yaml
cometapi balance --json

Priority: CLI flags > config file > environment variables > defaults

Key	Env Variable	Description
api_key	COMETAPI_KEY	API key (required)
access_token	COMETAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN	Access token for account commands
base_url	COMETAPI_BASE_URL	API base URL
default_model	COMETAPI_DEFAULT_MODEL	Default model (fallback: gpt-5.4)
output_format	—	Default output format (table, json, yaml, csv, markdown)

Agent Integration

CometAPI CLI is designed to be agent-friendly:

• All data commands support --json for structured, machine-readable output
• Deterministic exit codes (0=success, 64=config missing, 77=auth error, 69=service unavailable)
• Errors on stderr, data on stdout
• See SKILL.md for the full agent skill definition

Development

git clone https://github.com/cometapi-dev/cometapi-cli.git
cd cometapi-cli
uv sync --extra dev

uv run pytest -v              # tests
uv run ruff check src/ tests/ # lint
uv run cometapi --version     # verify

Without uv (pip)

git clone https://github.com/cometapi-dev/cometapi-cli.git
cd cometapi-cli
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest -v

Security

• API keys and access tokens are never logged or displayed in full — only the last 4 characters are shown
• Config files are stored with restrictive permissions (0600)
• Credentials should never be committed to version control
• Create credentials at: API Key · Access Token
• Disclaimer: You are responsible for all usage and charges incurred with your API keys

Troubleshooting

Error	Solution
API key not configured	Run cometapi init or set COMETAPI_KEY env var
Connection failed	Run cometapi doctor to diagnose connectivity
Access token not configured	Only needed for account/stats commands — run cometapi init to add one
