The urlpipe command-line tool
The API in your terminal and your CI, with nothing to write.
By Roger Campos · Last updated: September 2026
TL;DR
urlpipe is a command-line tool for every URLpipe operation. Install it with Homebrew, Scoop or go install, save your key with urlpipe login, and run urlpipe markdown, screenshot, meta, lighthouse and the rest. urlpipe console --fail-on-errors and urlpipe lighthouse --min-score exit 3 when they find a problem, so a deploy preview can fail a build.
Free plan, no credit card. 1,000 credits a month.
Results go to stdout and everything else to stderr, so urlpipe markdown example.com > page.md writes just the page. A screenshot is saved as a file named after the host, or written to stdout with -o -. -v shows the cache status, the cost and the credits left.
Two commands are made for CI: urlpipe console "$URL" --fail-on-errors fails on any console error or uncaught exception, and urlpipe lighthouse "$URL" --min-score 90 fails below a performance score. Both exit 3, apart from 1 for an API error and 2 for a usage error.
