Configure Regions in the CLI | Old Commands

The config namespace contains all the commands that you will need to configure the CLI as per your requirements.

Contentstack currently supports three regions: North America, Europe, and Azure North America.

By default, the CLI uses the North American region. Configuration changes are not required for North America region users.

Using the following set of commands, you can configure the CLI to use other regions. 

Prerequisites

• Contentstack account
• CLI installed
• Authentication to use CLI

Commands

Get region

The config:get:region command will return the name of the region on which you are performing actions in Contentstack, via CLI.

Usage

Set region

The config:set:region command lets you select a region, from the available Contentstack regions, to perform actions using CLI.

Usage

• Region: Specifies the region that you want to use while executing the CLI commands. Possible values are as follows:
  • EU for Europe
