ninecli 0.1.0

Unofficial CLI for the Ninebot (九号) scooter Passport + business APIs

ninecli

Unofficial CLI for the Ninebot (九号) scooter app — read vehicle info, view ride history, and run vehicle controls (engine start/stop, seat trunk, find-me bell) from the terminal.

Reverse-engineered from the official Ninebot Android app's encrypted business APIs. Not affiliated with Ninebot / Segway.

Install

# one-off, no install
uvx ninecli

# or install into current env
pip install ninecli

Multi-platform wheels are published for Linux (amd64, arm64) and macOS (amd64, arm64); pip / uv picks the right one automatically.

Quick start

ninecli login          # password login, saves tokens.json
ninecli whoami         # verify the saved token
ninecli vehicles       # list owned + shared vehicles
ninecli status         # show one vehicle's status (asks which one)
ninecli travel         # ride history for the current month

Vehicle controls (bell, engine-start, engine-stop, buck) print a y/N safety prompt — pass -y to skip.
