brew tap anysiteio/cli https://github.com/anysiteio/anysite-cli
brew install anysite

Verify Installation

anysite --version

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):

CLI flags — --format csv, --parallel 5
Environment variables — ANYSITE_API_KEY
Config file — ~/.anysite/config.yaml
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:

Add the skills marketplace

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

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

Command not found: anysite

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

Python version error

Anysite CLI requires Python 3.11+. Check your version:

python3 --version

Consider using pyenv to manage multiple Python versions.

Schema update fails

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

Permission denied on install

Use a virtual environment or the --user flag:

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install anysite-cli
