The Autousers CLI wraps /v1 with a typed, scriptable interface. Use it in CI to gate deploys on UX scores, in cron to bootstrap nightly evals, or interactively to explore an evaluation while debugging.

​
Install

npm i -g @autousers/cli
Global install. Self-updates with autousers self-update. Source on GitHub at autousers-ai/cli.

​
Auth

# Interactive — opens a browser to mint a key.
autousers auth login

# Or use an existing key.
export AUTOUSERS_API_KEY=ak_live_...
auth login mints the key with sensible defaults (evaluations:read, evaluations:write, autousers:read, autousers:write, ratings:read). Pass --scopes "<list>" to override. The key is stored in the system keychain (macOS Keychain, libsecret on Linux, Windows Credential Locker). Never written to disk in plaintext.

​
TUI

Run without arguments to drop into a terminal UI: 
autousers
Lists evaluations, drills into runs, shows live progress, follows deliveries. Designed for the local-debugging case where you want to see what the API sees without writing a script.

​
Commands

A representative subset: 
# Evaluations
autousers eval list

Output formats

# Human-readable (default)
autousers eval list

# JSON for scripting
autousers eval list --json

# Selective fields with jq
autousers eval list --json | jq '.[] | {id, name, status}'

​
In CI

The --json mode + a non-zero exit code on failure makes the CLI a drop-in step in any pipeline: 
# .github/workflows/eval-checkout.yml
name: Evaluate checkout
on:
  pull_request:
    paths: ["app/checkout/**"]
jobs:
  eval:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v5
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v5
        with: { node-version: 22 }
      - run: npm i -g @autousers/cli
      - name: Smoke eval
        env:
          AUTOUSERS_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.AUTOUSERS_API_KEY }}
        run: |
          # Create + run + wait + assert α >= 0.6
          EVAL_ID=$(autousers eval create \
            --template accessibility \
            --url ${{ steps.preview.outputs.preview_url }} \
            --autousers first-time-buyer:3 \
            --json | jq -r .id)
          autousers eval run $EVAL_ID
          autousers eval wait $EVAL_ID --timeout 600
          ALPHA=$(autousers eval agreement $EVAL_ID --json | jq -r .krippendorff.alpha)
          [ "$(echo "$ALPHA >= 0.6" | bc)" -eq 1 ] || exit 1
See the GitHub Actions recipe for a more complete example.

​
Profiles

Switch between teams without re-logging-in: 
autousers profile list
autousers profile add personal --key ak_live_xxx
autousers profile add work     --key ak_live_yyy
autousers profile use work
Every command honours the active profile; pass --profile <name> to override per-command.

​
Updates

The CLI checks npm for updates on each invocation (cached for 24h) and prints a one-line nudge when a new version is out. 
autousers self-update
# or
npm i -g @autousers/cli@latest
