withfeedback CLI

Command-line client for withfeedback.com: testimonials, feedback moderation, CSV imports, surveys, NPS, widgets, and quota usage — from your terminal or CI.

Install

pip install withfeedback
# or run without installing:
uvx withfeedback --help

The console command is withfeedback.

Quick start with a personal access token (PAT)

Good for CI and quick scripting:

  1. Log in at your withfeedback.com instance and open Account → API Tokens (/accounts/tokens/).

  2. Create a token with the scopes you need (see the table below).

  3. Either export it per-shell:

    export WITHFEEDBACK_TOKEN=spd_abc123...
    withfeedback testimonials list --team <TEAM_ID> --project <PROJECT_ID>
    

    or persist it in the OS keychain:

    withfeedback login --token spd_abc123...
    

API access requires a plan that includes the API/CLI/MCP feature (Pro and above).

Login via OAuth2 device flow (interactive)

withfeedback login

No flags needed against withfeedback.com — the CLI defaults to the official public client id 7yQMsnY2Is2f5tCuwwgItoQu3fRkEX2wnzIRj0Vh (public by design — device-flow clients carry no secret). For a self-hosted instance pass your own client:

withfeedback login --client-id <CLIENT_ID>       # or WITHFEEDBACK_CLIENT_ID

What happens:

  1. The CLI calls POST /o/device-authorization/ and prints a verification URL plus a short code (it also tries to open your browser).
  2. You open the URL, enter the code, and approve the requested scopes.
  3. The CLI polls POST /o/token/ until you approve, then stores the access and refresh tokens in the OS keychain via keyring (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Locker, Secret Service/KWallet on Linux) — never in a plaintext file.

When an access token expires, the CLI transparently refreshes it. Refresh tokens rotate on every use; the rotated token replaces the stored one. (Stored PATs are never "refreshed" — if a PAT is rejected, the CLI tells you to create a new one and run withfeedback login --token again.)

withfeedback logout   # remove stored tokens from the keychain

Token resolution precedence for every command: --token flag > WITHFEEDBACK_TOKEN env var > OS keychain.

Commands

withfeedback login [--client-id <ID> | --token <PAT>]
withfeedback logout

withfeedback testimonials list    --team <ID> --project <ID> [--status pending|approved|rejected|spam] [--rating N] [--q text] [--json]
withfeedback testimonials approve <SUBMISSION_ID> --team <ID> [--json]
withfeedback testimonials reject  <SUBMISSION_ID> --team <ID> [--json]
withfeedback testimonials create  --team <ID> --project <ID> --text "..." [--rating N] [--name ..] [--email ..] [--title ..] [--company ..] [--consent] [--tag t]... [--json]

withfeedback import csv FILE --team <ID> --project <ID> --text-col COL [--rating-col COL] [--name-col COL] [--email-col COL] [--consent] [--json]

withfeedback surveys list            --team <ID> --project <ID> [--json]
withfeedback surveys create          --team <ID> --project <ID> --name "..." --type nps|csat|ces|pmf|custom [--questions '<JSON>'] [--json]
withfeedback surveys update          <SURVEY_ID> --team <ID> --project <ID> [--name ..] [--thanks-message ..] [--status draft|live|archived] [--json]
withfeedback surveys publish-version <SURVEY_ID> --team <ID> --project <ID> --questions '<JSON>' [--json]
withfeedback nps summary             --team <ID> --project <ID> [--json]

withfeedback widgets list   --team <ID> --project <ID> [--json]
withfeedback widgets create --team <ID> --project <ID> --type wall|carousel|collect_feedback|collect_survey|nps_popover --name "..." [--survey <ID>] [--config '<JSON>'] [--filter '<JSON>'] [--collect-video] [--inactive] [--json]
withfeedback widgets update <WIDGET_ID> --team <ID> --project <ID> [--name ..] [--survey <ID>] [--config '<JSON>'] [--filter '<JSON>'] [--collect-video/--no-collect-video] [--active/--inactive] [--json]
withfeedback widgets delete <WIDGET_ID> --team <ID> --project <ID> [--json]

withfeedback usage          --team <ID> [--json]

--config, --filter, and --questions take a JSON string. Survey questions are edited by publishing a new version (surveys publish-version), never in place; taking a survey live is subject to your plan's live-survey limit.

Human output is plain text tables. Pass --json for machine-readable output (raw API responses) — errors still go to stderr.

CSV import

withfeedback import csv validates the file locally (header columns, row count), builds the column mapping from your --*-col options, and uploads the file to the server's multipart import endpoint. Rows are processed asynchronously and land as pending submissions; the command prints the batch id and a status URL to poll.

withfeedback import csv reviews.csv \
  --team <TEAM_ID> --project <PROJECT_ID> \
  --text-col "Testimonial" --rating-col "Stars" \
  --name-col "Author" --email-col "Email" --consent

Pass --consent only when display consent was actually collected for these rows.

Required scopes per command

Command Required scope
testimonials list read:feedback (or read:testimonials)
testimonials approve / reject moderate:submissions (write:* cannot moderate)
testimonials create write:testimonials (or write:feedback)
import csv write:feedback
surveys list, nps summary read:surveys
surveys create / update / publish-version write:surveys
widgets list read:widgets
widgets create / update / delete write:widgets
usage read:feedback

Exit codes

Code Meaning
0 Success
1 General / unknown error
2 Usage / config error (bad flags, unreadable CSV, missing column)
3 Auth error (not logged in, invalid or expired token)
4 Forbidden or payment required (missing scope/role, plan without API access, quota exceeded, billing blocked)
5 Not found (unknown team/project/object or no access)
6 Validation error or invalid state transition
7 Network error (server unreachable)

On API errors the API's error detail is printed to stderr.

Environment variables

Variable Default Purpose
WITHFEEDBACK_API_URL https://withfeedback.com API base URL (self-hosted/staging override)
WITHFEEDBACK_TOKEN — PAT (beats the keychain, loses to --token)
WITHFEEDBACK_CLIENT_ID official public client id Client id for login (override for self-hosted)
WITHFEEDBACK_SCOPES all CLI scopes Scopes requested during device-flow login

On the first request of a run the CLI checks GET /.well-known/speedpy.json once and warns (never fails) when the manifest is unreachable or the API is older than the minimum this client expects.

Development

uv run --with pytest --with httpx --with click --with keyring pytest packages/withfeedback-cli/
