matomo-cli 0.1.3

A very simple and basic cli tool for Matomo API

Readme

This is a very simple and limited cli tool for Matomo API requests.

Very limited support for anything in general. This was created as a need for a Prometheus exporter for Matomo, and we needed a base to do the calls to Matomo. Hopefully it could be used and developed together with the community.

Environment variables

Many options could be replaced with environment variables.
