API, CLI & MCP

CLI

Use Queringo from the terminal with an API key.

Updated May 30, 2026

The Queringo CLI brings the public REST API to your terminal and scripts. It authenticates with an API key and is available on the Scale plan and above.

API keys for CLI authentication

Install

pip install queringo-cli

This installs the queringo command on your PATH.

Authenticate

Mint a key in API keys, then sign in. Credentials are saved to ~/.queringo/credentials with owner-only permissions, so subsequent commands run without re-entering the key. login verifies the key by calling /v1/whoami and fails fast if it is invalid.

queringo login --base https://api.queringo.com --api-key qg_live_...
queringo logout

Treat the key like a password: store it in a secret manager and never commit it. The credentials file is written with mode 600, but the same rule applies if you copy it elsewhere.

Commands
