Redbark CLI

Your bank and brokerage data, in your terminal. A thin client for the Redbark API — accounts, balances, transactions, connections, holdings, and trades, as clean tables or raw JSON.

Redbark syncs bank and brokerage accounts to Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, YNAB, and webhooks — built on Australia's Consumer Data Right (CDR) open banking framework. Your banking data is never stored by Redbark; this CLI reads it live from your connected institutions.

Install

npm install -g @redbark/cli     # or: bun install -g @redbark/cli

Runs on any Node.js 18+ (or Bun). Standalone binaries that need no runtime at all are on the roadmap.

Quickstart

redbark login                   # paste an API key from https://app.redbark.com/settings
redbark accounts                # list your accounts
redbark balances                # balances across every account
redbark transactions --account acc_123 --from 2026-06-01

For scripts and CI, skip login and set the key in the environment:

REDBARK_API_KEY=rbk_live_… redbark accounts --json | jq '.data[].name'

Commands

Command	What it does
redbark login	Verify and save an API key (~/.config/redbark/config.json, mode 0600)
redbark logout	Remove the saved key
redbark whoami	Auth status, key source, connection count, rate-limit headroom
redbark connections	List bank/brokerage connections and their freshness
redbark accounts	List accounts (--limit, --offset)
redbark balances [accountIds…]	Balances — all accounts if none given
redbark transactions --account <id>	Transactions (--from, --to, --limit, --offset; connection auto-resolved)
redbark categories	Transaction category taxonomy
redbark holdings --connection <id>	Brokerage holdings (Professional plan)
redbark trades --connection <id>	Brokerage trades (Professional plan)

Every command accepts a global --json flag for raw API output; tables are plain aligned text, friendly to grep and awk.

Development

Built with Bun, Commander, and @clack/prompts.

bun install
bun run dev -- accounts     # run from source
bun test                    # test suite
bun run typecheck           # tsc --noEmit
bun run compile             # standalone binary at dist/redbark

Security

The CLI sends your API key only to api.redbark.com over HTTPS and stores it locally with owner-only permissions. Report vulnerabilities per SECURITY.md — never via a public issue.
