Configuration

Configuration is stored in $HOME/.kinde/config.json by default for *nix-based systems, <user profile>\.config\kinde\config.json for Windows. You can set API keys, business, and other preferences.

Example:

{
  "current": "mybusiness.kinde.com",
  "environments": {
    "mybusiness.kinde.com": {
      "domain_name": "app.kinde.com"
    },
    "mybusiness2.localkinde.com": {
      "domain_name": "app.localkinde.com"
    },
    "mybusiness2.kinde.com": {
      "domain_name": "mybusiness2.kinde.com",
      "client_id": "xxx",
      "client_secret": "yyy"
    }
  }
}

Examples

• List users:

  kinde manage users get_all --page_size 2
  

• Show token details of the logged-in user:

  kinde whoami
  

• Create a user

  kinde manage users create
  

• Create an environment-level feature-flag of type string

    kinde manage feature_flags create --name "first flag" --key "first_key" --allow_override_level "env" --type "str"
  

Troubleshooting

• CLI validates the token against public JWKS and requires internet connectivity.
• Check your configuration file for errors.
• Ensure your API credentials are valid. To use management API, please create an M2M application and grant it access to the management API, enable appropriate scopes to grant the specific level of access.
