Directify CLI

The official command-line tool for Directify lets you manage your directory directly from your terminal. Perfect for scripts, CI/CD pipelines, bulk imports, and anyone who prefers the command line over a web UI.

Installation

npm install -g directify-cli

Authentication

directify auth login

Paste your API token (generate one in Settings > API). The token is stored securely in your local config.

Optionally set a default directory so you don't need to pass --directory on every command:

directify config set default-directory <id>

Commands

The CLI mirrors the Directify API, with subcommands for each resource:

• directify directories — list your directories
• directify listings — list, get, create, update, delete, bulk create listings (alias: ls)
• directify categories — manage categories (alias: cats)
• directify tags — manage tags
• directify articles — manage blog articles (alias: blog)
• directify pages — manage custom pages
• directify organizers — manage organizers / agencies (alias: orgs)
• directify fields — list custom fields

Each resource supports: list, get, create, update, delete.
