This installs all extras by default (datasets, LLM, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse). Options:
# Minimal install (no optional dependencies)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anysiteio/anysite-cli/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --extras none

# Upgrade existing installation
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anysiteio/anysite-cli/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --upgrade

# Uninstall
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anysiteio/anysite-cli/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --uninstall

Configuration

​
Set Your API Key

Get your API key from app.anysite.io and configure it: 
anysite config set api_key YOUR_API_KEY

​
Update Schema Cache

The schema cache enables endpoint discovery and automatic type conversion: 
anysite schema update

​
Configuration Management

# View all settings
anysite config list

# Get a specific setting
anysite config get api_key

# Set a value
anysite config set api_key sk-xxxxx

# Show config file path
anysite config path

# Reset to defaults
anysite config reset

​
Configuration Priority

Settings are resolved in this order (highest priority first):
  1. CLI flags — --format csv, --parallel 5
  2. Environment variables — ANYSITE_API_KEY
  3. Config file — ~/.anysite/config.yaml
  4. Defaults — built-in default values
Use environment variables for CI/CD environments and the config file for local development.

Claude Code Skill

Install the anysite-cli skill for Claude Code to get AI-assisted data collection directly in your terminal:
1

Add the skills marketplace

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/anysiteio/agent-skills
2

Install the skill

/plugin install anysite-cli@anysite-skills
The skill gives Claude Code full knowledge of all anysite commands, dataset pipeline configuration, database operations, and LLM analysis — so you can describe what data you need in natural language and let the agent build and run the pipeline for you.

​
Global Options

These options are available for all commands: 
anysite [OPTIONS] COMMAND

Options:
  --api-key TEXT       API key (or set ANYSITE_API_KEY)
  --base-url TEXT      API base URL
  --debug              Enable debug output
  --no-color           Disable colored output
  --json               Force JSON output (even in terminal)
  --human              Force human-readable output (even in pipes)
  --non-interactive    Disable interactive prompts
  --version, -v        Show version
  --help               Show help
The --json and --human flags control Agent Protocol output mode. By default, the CLI auto-detects: JSON in pipes, human-readable in terminals.

​
Troubleshooting

Make sure the Python scripts directory is in your PATH. If you installed in a virtual environment, activate it first:
source .venv/bin/activate
Or install globally:
pip install --user anysite-cli
Anysite CLI requires Python 3.11+. Check your version:
python3 --version
Consider using pyenv to manage multiple Python versions.
If anysite schema update fails, check your API key and network connection:
anysite config get api_key
curl -s https://api.anysite.io/openapi.json | head -c 100
Use a virtual environment or the --user flag:
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install anysite-cli
