An unofficial official command-line interface for interacting with Gobii prompts, agents, and tasks. Gobii is a tool for browser automation using AI that provides the ability to perform complex web tasks without an API.

This is early in development and will have bugs.

You must have a Gobii API key. You may either define an environment variable $GOBII_API_KEY, or specify it as a command-line argument. The argument takes precedence over the environment variable.

gobii-cli uses POSIX-compliant exit codes (0 for success, > 0 for failure), making it suitable for scripting and automation.

I highly recommend using the prompt command combined with JSON format to pipe data to jq or other tools.

gobii-cli [options] [command]

• -a, --api-key <key> – API key for authentication
• -f, --format <format> – Output format: text or json (default: text). In JSON mode, --silent is implied. Great for piping to tools like jq.
• -v, --verbose – Enable verbose logging (avoid with --format json, as it breaks JSON structure)
• -s, --silent – Suppress all output except final result. (--verbose overrides)
• -V, --version – Output the CLI version
• -h, --help – Display help for command

Submit a prompt to the Gobii API and wait for a result.

gobii-cli prompt "Generate daily summary"

Options:

• -j, --schema <schema> – Output schema for the prompt (JSON Schema string). Used to define the prompt’s output structure. NOTE: Use with --format=json. Example:

  --schema '{"type": "object", "properties": {"name": {"type": "string"}, "age": {"type": "number"}}}'

• -f, --schema-file <file> – Path to a file containing a JSON Schema used to define output. NOTE: Use with --format=json. Example:

  --schema-file ./schema.json

  Note: If both --schema and --schema-file are provided, --schema takes precedence.

• -w, --wait <seconds> – Time in seconds to wait for the result. Default is 900. Must be 1–900.

Check connectivity with the Gobii API.

gobii-cli ping

Returns Pong! 🤘 or a JSON object depending on format.

List all registered agents.

gobii-cli agents list

List tasks associated with a specific agent.

gobii-cli agent tasks abc123

Delete a specific agent.

gobii-cli agent delete abc123

Retrieve metadata for a specific task.

gobii-cli task get task-xyz

Cancel a specific task.

gobii-cli task cancel task-xyz

Fetch the result of a completed task.

gobii-cli task result task-xyz

You must provide an API key for all commands that interact with the Gobii service. You can do this in two ways:

Command-line argument:

gobii-cli agents list --api-key your-api-key

Environment variable:

export GOBII_API_KEY=your-api-key

To enable debug logging:

gobii-cli agent tasks abc123 --verbose

Use with caution in --format json mode, as it may break structured output.

gobii-cli prompt "What was the weather like in Washington, DC on June 16, 2024?" --api-key abc123 --format json

gobii-cli prompt "Get the the square footage and property age for 2343 Valley View Terrace, Driftshore Bay, DE from Zillow" --format=json --schema='{"type": "object", "properties": {"squareFootage": {"type": "number"}, "propertyAge": {"type": "number"}}, "required":  [], "additionalProperties": false}'
