Installation

pip install oko-cli

Getting Started

Initialize a workspace

oko init

This creates the local OKO workspace with configuration, collections, and variables support.

Collections

Create a collection

oko collection create products

List existing collections

oko collection list

Endpoints

Add an endpoint to a collection

oko endpoint add products list https://dummyjson.com/products --method GET

List endpoints in a collection

oko endpoint list products

Run an endpoint

oko endpoint run products list

Variables

OKO supports global variables stored in the config file.

Add a variable

oko variable add base_url=https://dummyjson.com

List variables

oko variable list

Delete a variable

oko variable delete base_url

Variable Resolution

Variables can be referenced using the {{variable}} syntax:

oko endpoint add products list {{base_url}}/products --method GET

Variables are automatically resolved in:

• URLs
• Query parameters
• Headers
• JSON request bodies

Nested variables are also supported:

{{user.id}}
{{auth.token}}

Running Requests with Options

Headers

oko endpoint run auth currentUser -H Authorization="Bearer {{token}}"

Query Parameters

oko endpoint run products list -p limit=3 -p page=1

JSON Body

oko endpoint run users create --json '{"name":"John","email":"[e-mail]"}'

Output

OKO displays:

• HTTP status (color-coded)
• Method and URL
• Formatted JSON responses
• Plain text responses when applicable

Designed to be readable, focused, and terminal-friendly.

Philosophy

OKO is intentionally simple.

• No UI
• No accounts
• No syncing
• No cloud dependencies

Just your terminal, your endpoints, and clean output.

Built for personal use — shared in case it helps others.
