dexter command-line interface

Installation

pip install dexterCLI

Configuration

You can store settings in an INI-style configuration file, which by default will be looked for in ~/.dexter.conf. It can contained named sections, each of which is a different configuration profile. The default profile is called default. The two main keys needed are root and api-key which respectively specify the root URL of the API interface, and the API key to use.

Example:

[default]
root = https://api.dexter.express/
api-key = 1234567812345678
