I am new to Domo, so I am wondering how beneficial is the CLI method in use-case scenarios

Lunch & Learn: Don’t Be Afraid of the Big Bad CLI Tool

There are lots of tools to use and different ways to do things. I guess it depends upon your familiarity with using command line interfaces over other tools or languages like Python.

The CLI is useful to do a lot of things in a scripted manner without having to have a lot of technical know how dealing directly with APIs. It can help automate a lot of processes as necessary as well. If you create a script with all of the commands you want it to run on individual lines and then pass that into the jar file via the -script argument you can run multiple commands easily.

java -jar domoUtil.jar -script myscriptfile.script

It depends on what exactly you're wanting to do with the CLI as there's 142 different options currently in the CLI. Run the help command after executing the jar file to get a list of all of them. You can pass any option into the help to get specific command help as well.

java -jar domoUtil.jar
 
help whoami
