CLI to interact with Genesys Cloud

Genesys Cloud CLI

⚠ WARNING: This is a result of a hackathon project and while it is functional it is not officially supported by the Genesys Development Group.

The Genesys Cloud cli is a tool to interact with Genesys Cloud

Note that if you us oh-my-zsh, it aliases gc to a git command, this cli works using either gc or gcli if you are using that alias.

Install

pip install genesyscloudcli

Local setup

The cli authenticates using client credentials which you will have to create yourself

gc profile new is the easiest way to setup your credentials. This will create a credentials file at ~/.genesyscloud/credentials and can support multiple profiles for different organizations.

$ gc profile new
Profile Name [DEFAULT]: mycompanyname
Genesys Cloud Environment (mypurecloud.com, usw2.pure.cloud): mypurecloud.com
OAuth Client ID: dfbdc514-e830-4745-bffa-1cb7ee7f2736
OAuth Client Secret: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY

Profiles

With multiple profiles configured, you can either specify one when connnecting:

$ gc --profile <profilename> <command>

Or switch a named profile to the default

$ gc profile setdefault <profilename>

Configuration Options

~/.genesyscloud/config contains configurable options in the DEFAULT section

[DEFAULT]
output_type = yaml

Command Structure

The Genesys Cloud cli uses a multipart structure

$ gc <command> <subcommand> [options and params]

Pagination

For resources that have multiple pages such as listing users, there are options available on how to process the pages. By default the cli uses a page size of 250 and retrieves all items.

--page-size    # set a page size other than 250
--page-number   # return a specific page

Data Inputs

Some commands require bodies to be sent with the request, such as creating a new user. The body can be supplied a number of ways.

1. Passing json with the command (escaped whitespace is not currently supported)

   $ gc users new "{\"name":\"Joe Smith\"}"
   

2. Referencing a file

   $ gc users new user.json
   

3. Stream input

   $ gc users new < user.json
   

   $ echo "{\"name":\"Joe Smith\"}" | gc user new
