The Moneda CLI lets you interact with your Moneda account directly from the terminal. Check balances, browse transactions, send payments, and more — all without leaving the command line.

​
Installation

Install the CLI globally with npm: 
npm install -g @moneda/cli
Verify the installation: 
moneda --version

​
Quick start

Log in to your Moneda account: 
moneda auth login
This opens your browser for OAuth authentication. Once approved, you’re ready to go. Check your balance: 
moneda account balance
List recent transactions: 
moneda transaction list --limit 5

​
Global flags

These flags work with any command:
FlagDescription
-o, --output <format>Output format: text (default), json, csv, markdown, or toon
--api-url <url>Override the API base URL (default: https://api.moneda.com/v1)
--api-key <key>Use an API key instead of OAuth (overrides the stored Bearer token)
-d, --detailReturn the full response shape (default is ?view=lite — compact output for terminal rendering)
-v, --verboseShow detailed request/response information
-q, --quietSuppress all output except errors
Use --output json to pipe CLI output into other tools like jq for scripting and automation. Use --output toon to see exactly what an LLM agent would consume from the same endpoint (~40% fewer tokens than JSON on array-heavy responses — handy when prototyping against @moneda/services’s agent tools).

​
Response shape: --detail flag

Every GET command defaults to ?view=lite — the REST API returns a compact shape optimised for terminal rendering (fewer columns, no UI coaching fields, no masked raw routing). Pass --detail when you need the full shape — typically when scripting with --output json and want every field the server exposes. 
# Compact — one tidy row per transaction, no wrapping
moneda transaction list --limit 5

# Full — every field (typeGroup, category, note, reference, raw routing…)
moneda transaction list --limit 5 --detail --output json | jq
If a command’s output looks truncated, try --detail --output json to see everything.
