nea-esi-cli

Interactive CLI for EVE Online's ESI API, built on the nea-esi library crate.

Installation

cargo build -p nea-esi-cli

Setup

1. Register an application at EVE Developers
2. Configure your Client ID:

   nea-esi-cli config set-client-id <your-client-id>
   

3. Log in via EVE SSO (opens browser, receives callback on a local HTTP server):

   nea-esi-cli auth login
   

Config files are stored in a platform-specific directory:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/nea-esi/
• Linux: ~/.config/nea-esi/
• Windows: AppData\Local\nea-esi\

Files:

When --config /path/to/config.toml is provided, the CLI treats that directory as the active profile and reads or writes sibling tokens.json and history.txt there as well.
