Available on every command:
--output markdown|json(default:markdown) — usejsonfor scripting--api-base \x3Curl>(default:https://api.indices.io)--timeout \x3Cseconds>(default:30)
Auth
indices login # prompts securely for API key
indices login --api-key "\x3Ckey>" # non-interactive
indices auth-test # verify stored credentials
indices logout # remove stored API key
Tasks
Create
indices tasks create \
--display-name "Apply to jobs" \
--website "https://jobs.example.com" \
--task "Fill and submit the form"
Never set
is_fully_autonomoustotrue.
After creation, the task requires manual completion in a browser. Direct the user to https://platform.indices.io/tasks/{task_id} (substituting the actual task ID).
Flags: --display-name (required), --website (required), --task (required), --input-schema, --output-schema, --creation-params \x3Cjson-object>
JSON input (alternative to flags)
indices tasks create --body '{"display_name":"...","website":"...","task":"..."}'
indices tasks create --file ./task.json
cat task.json | indices tasks create
Rules: use at most one of --body, --file, --stdin; do not mix with argument-mode flags.
List / Get / Retry / Regenerate / Delete
indices tasks list
indices tasks list --status ready --limit 20 # statuses: not_ready | waiting_for_manual_completion | ready | failed
indices tasks get \x3Ctask-uuid>
indices tasks retry \x3Ctask-uuid>
indices tasks regenerate-api \x3Ctask-uuid>
indices tasks delete \x3Ctask-uuid> # prompts for confirmation
indices tasks delete \x3Ctask-uuid> --yes
Note: --cursor is unsupported and returns an error.
Runs
Create
indices runs create \
--task-id "\x3Ctask-uuid>" \
--arguments '{"key":"value"}' \
--secret-bindings '{"login":"\x3Csecret-uuid>"}'
Flags: --task-id (required), --arguments \x3Cjson-object>, --secret-bindings \x3Cjson-object>
JSON input follows the same rules as tasks create.
List / Get
indices runs list --task-id \x3Ctask-uuid> # --task-id required
indices runs list --task-id \x3Ctask-uuid> --limit 20
indices runs get \x3Crun-uuid>
Secrets
indices secrets create MY_SECRET --value "..." # explicit value
echo "..." | indices secrets create MY_SECRET --stdin
indices secrets create MY_SECRET # prompts securely
indices secrets list
indices secrets delete \x3Csecret-uuid> # prompts for confirmation
indices secrets delete \x3Csecret-uuid> --yes
Empty secret values are rejected.
