Coinbase Commerce CLI tool

The Coinbase Commerce CLI Tool is a cli interface for interacting with the Commerce Go SDK sample library, an SDK built on top of the Coinbase Commerce API.

Easily create, retrieve, and review charges using command line arguments.

Getting started

Set your API key as an environment variable named "COMMERCE_API_KEY" by running

export COMMERCE_API_KEY=123-YOUR-API-KEY

Create the Commerce CLI application by running:

make build

This will build the CLI and move the executible to your local bin folder

Create a charge by running:

commerce charges create --type "fixed_price" --amount "100" --currency "USD" --redirect "http://example.com/success"

This will create a $1.50 charge with a payment link (hosted_url) example output should be:

Usage

The Coinbase Commerce CLI tool allows you to create and view charges with a valid API key as well as webhook events.

Create a charge

commerce charges create --type "fixed_price" --amount "100" --currency "USD"

Replace [amount] with the desired charge amount (e.g., 1.5 for $1.50).

Retrieve a charge

commerce charges --id "yourChargeIdHere" --format true

Replace yourChargeIdHere with the specific ID of the charge you want to retrieve.

Events

The Coinbase Commerce CLI tool also supports the retrieval of events.

To retrieve all events for you account run:

commerce events

Retrieve a specific event

Tip

Be sure to use the event's id not the charge's id or charge's code this will prevent any errors from occuring.

commerce events --get [event_id] --format true

Replace [event_id] with the ID of the event you wish to retrieve.
