Configuration

The CLI requires an Access Token and an API URL for your Talend region.

• Access Token: Generate it in the Talend Management Console.
• API URL: Base endpoint URL for the API you will connect to.

Configuration is provided via environment variables:

export API_URL=https://api.<region>.talend.com
export ACCESS_TOKEN=<access-token>

Alternatively, you can define these variables in a .env file in the current directory:

API_URL=https://api.<region>.talend.com
ACCESS_TOKEN=<access-token>

Usage Examples

Direct mode

Run a specific job immediately by providing --job <name>:

talend_task --job Job1

Interactive mode

Run the CLI without specifying a job to select and execute one from a menu:

talend_task

Optionally, add the --wait flag in either mode to wait for the job to complete and return its final status.

talend_task --wait --job Job1
