Configure Regions in the CLI

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

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

By default, the CLI uses the North America 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 the CLI.

Usage

csdx config:get:region

Set region

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

Usage

csdx config:set:region <<region>>

Arguments

• Region: Specifies the region that you want to use while executing the CLI commands. Possible values are as follows:
  • NA for AWS North America
  • EU for AWS Europe
  • AZURE-NA for Azure North America
  • AZURE-EU for Azure Europe

Example

csdx config:set:region EU

csdx config:set:region AZURE-NA

Set custom host and region

By using the config:set:region command, you can also set a custom host for Content Delivery and Content Management APIs, and set a custom region name for the hosts.

Usage

• --cda=cda: Custom host to set for the Content Delivery API. If this option is used, then cma, ui-host, and name options are required.
• --cma=cma: Custom host to set for the Content Management API. If this option is used, then cda, ui-host, and name options are required.
• --ui-host=ui-host: Custom UI host to set for CLI. If this option is used, then cda, cma, and name options are required.
