hipchat-cli

hipchat-cli is a simple command line interface to common hipchat api calls. It's main intention is to use it from scripts.

Installation

Make sure you have a working Go environment.

To install hipchat-cli, simply run:

> go get -v github.com/houtmanj/hipchat-cli

Make sure your PATH includes to the $GOPATH/bin directory so your commands can be easily used:

export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Register the plugin with hipchat by running: hipchat-cli register --name

This will create a small webserver and starts the flow for granting access to your hipchat. After the flow you will be redirected to the webserver started by the command. Here you can find the credentials of your plugin, which need to be stored in the configuration.

configuration

~/.hipchat-cli.yaml is the default location for the configuration file. Using --config an alternative location could be specified.

Example of a configuration file:

---
oauthid: <secret>
oauthsecret: <secret>
proxy: http://proxy:3128
endpoint: hipchat.myspace.com

Only the oauthid and oauthsecret are mandatory keys.
