CLI for the Data Legion API — agent-friendly, fully async
Project description
datalegion-cli
The official command-line interface for the Data Legion API. Built for both humans and AI agents.
Look up people and companies by email, phone, name, domain, LinkedIn, or ticker symbol. Search using SQL syntax. Clean, hash, and validate data fields before or after enrichment. Track credit usage and manage your configuration — all from the terminal.
pip install datalegion-cli
datalegion-cli config set api_key legion_your_key_here
datalegion-cli person enrich --email john@example.com
Features
- Fully async — async from entry point to HTTP client, powered by
asyncioandhttpx - Agent-friendly — all output is JSON to stdout, logs go to stderr, supports
--stdinfor piping - Encrypted config — API keys are stored encrypted at rest (Fernet + PBKDF2, machine-tied)
- Auto-update — checks GitHub releases and self-updates via Homebrew, GitHub release, git pull, or pip/uv
- Multiple install methods — Homebrew, GitHub release, pip/uv (with private index support), or from source
Installation
Homebrew
brew install datalegion-ai/tap/datalegion-cli
From PyPI (or private index)
uv pip install datalegion-cli
Or with pip:
pip install datalegion-cli
To install from a private index:
uv pip install datalegion-cli --extra-index-url https://your-private-index.com/simple
From GitHub release
Download the .whl from the latest release and install:
uv pip install datalegion_cli-*.whl
From source
git clone https://github.com/datalegion-ai/datalegion-cli.git
cd datalegion-cli
uv sync
Configuration
Set your API key (stored encrypted on disk):
datalegion-cli config set api_key legion_your_key_here
Or via environment variable (takes precedence over file config):
export LEGION_API_KEY=legion_your_key_here
Other config options
# Set the API base URL
datalegion-cli config set api_base_url https://api.datalegion.ai
# Set install method for auto-update (brew, github, git, or pip)
datalegion-cli config set install_method brew
# View all config
datalegion-cli config list
# Show config file path
datalegion-cli config path
Config is stored at ~/.datalegion/config.toml. Override the location with LEGION_CONFIG_DIR.
Install method detection
The update command auto-detects how the CLI was installed:
| Method | Detection | Update strategy |
|---|---|---|
brew |
brew list finds the formula |
brew upgrade |
github |
Set via config | Downloads .whl from GitHub release |
git |
.git directory in parent tree |
git pull --ff-only + uv sync |
pip |
Default fallback | uv pip install --upgrade |
You can override detection by setting install_method in config. For pip installs from a private index, set the LEGION_PIP_INDEX_URL environment variable.

datalegion-cli person enrich --social-url "https://linkedin.com/in/johndoe"
# Multiple results with minimum confidence
datalegion-cli person enrich --email john@example.com --multiple --min-confidence high
# Select specific fields
datalegion-cli person enrich --email john@example.com --fields "full_name,emails,phones"
Person search
# SQL-based search
datalegion-cli person search "SELECT * FROM people WHERE company_name ILIKE '%google%' AND state = 'CA'" --limit 5
Company enrichment
# By domain

Agent / automation usage
The CLI is designed to be called by AI agents and scripts. Key patterns:
# All output is JSON to stdout — parse it directly
datalegion-cli person enrich --email john@example.com | jq '.matches[0].full_name'
# Pipe JSON payloads via stdin
echo '{"email":"john@example.com","company":"Acme"}' | datalegion-cli person enrich --stdin
# Suppress logs with --quiet (only JSON on stdout)
datalegion-cli --quiet person enrich --email john@example.com
# Errors are also JSON
datalegion-cli person enrich --email bad 2>/dev/null
# {"ok": false, "error": "bad_request", "message": "..."}
Global flags
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--verbose / -v |
Enable debug logging to stderr |
--quiet / -q |
Suppress all log output |
--help |
