Release 0.1.0.

Pactester latest version CI tests status Current available Python versions License: MIT

A modern command-line interface for interacting with Akamai’s API, built for engineers who work with Akamai on a daily basis.

akcli removes the friction of working with Akamai’s API directly. It exposes a set of commands to interact with different Akamai API endpoints, providing a fast and intuitive way to work with the platform without leaving the terminal.

  • Transparent EdgeGrid authentication — just point akcli to your .edgerc file and it handles the rest.

  • Response caching to avoid hitting the API unnecessarily, with configurable TTL and cache directory.

  • Proxy support to route requests through an HTTP/HTTPS proxy with a single config option.

  • SSL certificate validation enabled by default, with the option to disable it for internal or development environments.

  • TOML config file to persist your preferred defaults and never repeat the same flags.
