Xano

Xano

The robomotion xano CLI connects to Xano (no-code backend platform) for database and API operations. It queries, creates, updates, and deletes records; searches data with filters; and calls custom API endpoints built in Xano.

When to use

• Query, create, update, or delete records in Xano tables
• Search and filter data with conditions
• Call custom API endpoints built in Xano

Prerequisites

• robomotion CLI installed
• Package installed: robomotion install xano
• Xano instance URL and API key configured via Robomotion vault

IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations

Each CLI command runs as a separate process — connection IDs from connect do NOT persist across calls. You MUST use --session on connect and pass --session-id to all subsequent commands.

Workflow

1. Install (once): robomotion install xano
2. Connect with session:

   robomotion xano xano_connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   

3. Use the returned client-id and session-id in all subsequent commands:

   robomotion xano xano_list --client-id "<client-id>" --table <table> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

4. Disconnect when done:

   robomotion xano xano_disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

Always append --output json to get structured JSON results.
