--api-keyflagOUTLIT_API_KEYenv var~/.config/outlit/credentials.json(written byoutlit auth login)
Quick auth for CI/scripts:
outlit auth login --key ok_your_key_here
# or
export OUTLIT_API_KEY=ok_your_key_here
Output Behavior
- Interactive terminal: Pretty tables with colors

| Table | Contains |
|---|---|
events |
All tracked events |

Customer attributes and metrics |

Common Filters
Most list commands share these filters (check --help for specifics):
--billing-status PAYING|TRIALING|CHURNED|NONE--no-activity-in 7d|14d|30d|90d/--has-activity-in--mrr-above <cents>/--mrr-below <cents>--search <term>--limit <1-100>/--cursor <token>for pagination--order-by <field>/--order-direction asc|desc
Common Patterns
At-risk paying customers:
outlit customers list --billing-status PAYING --no-activity-in 30d
High-value customer details:
outlit customers get acme.com --include users,revenue,behaviorMetrics
Search for churn signals:
outlit search 'complaints about pricing' --customer acme.com
Revenue query:
outlit sql 'SELECT customer_id, mrr_cents FROM mrr_snapshots ORDER BY mrr_cents DESC LIMIT 10'
Setup all detected agents at once:
outlit setup --yes
