Installation

pip install pyboomi-cli

Usage

Authentication

Recommended: Use environment variables for authentication

export BOOMI_ACCT=your-account-id
export BOOMI_USER=your-username
export BOOMI_TOKEN=your-api-token

# Now run commands without authentication flags
boomi folder query
boomi component get 1234-abcd

Alternatively, use command-line options (must be specified BEFORE the subcommand):

# Correct: Options before subcommand
boomi folder --account-id YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID --username YOUR_USERNAME --api-token YOUR_API_TOKEN query

# Incorrect: Options after subcommand will fail
boomi folder query --account-id YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID  # This will NOT work

Environment Variables

Recommended: Use environment variables instead of command-line options

• BOOMI_ACCT: Your Boomi account ID
• BOOMI_USER: Your Boomi username (email)
• BOOMI_TOKEN: Your Boomi API token
• BOOMI_AUTH: Base64 encoded Basic Auth string (alternative to username/token)

Environment variables are preferred because:

• More secure (not visible in command history or process lists)
• Cleaner command syntax
• Easier to manage across multiple commands
• Can be set once per session or in shell configuration

If you must use command-line options, remember they must be specified BEFORE the subcommand:

# Correct
boomi component --account-id ACCT123 get <component-id>

# Incorrect
boomi component get --account-id ACCT123 <component-id>

Output Formats

Many commands support --output-format with the following values:

• json (default)
• yaml (falls back to json if PyYAML is not installed)
• text (simple key/value text)
• xml (returns raw XML when requested; defaults to XML for component get)

Many commands also support --save, --save-file, and --quiet to write output to a file and/or suppress stdout.

Templates

The templates/ directory contains XML templates for various Boomi component types including:

• Processes: Unit test harnesses and process templates
• Connectors: Database, API, and file connectors
• Profiles: JSON, XML, flat file, and database profiles
• Maps: Data mapping templates and functions
• APIs: API services and proxy configurations
• Scripts: Process and map scripts
• Certificates: Security certificate templates

These templates provide standardized starting points for creating Boomi components. See TEMPLATE_SYSTEM.md for detailed information about the template system and usage.
