pup (Datadog CLI)

Pup CLI for Datadog API operations. Supports OAuth2 and API key auth.

Quick Reference

Prerequisites

Install pup using the setup instructions.

Auth

pup auth login          # OAuth2 browser flow (recommended)
pup auth status         # Check token validity
pup auth refresh        # Refresh expired token (no browser)
pup auth logout         # Clear credentials

⚠️ Tokens expire (~1 hour). If a command fails with 401/403 mid-conversation:

pup auth refresh        # Try refresh first
pup auth login          # If refresh fails, full re-auth

Headless/CI (no browser)

# Use env vars or:
export DD_API_KEY=your-api-key
export DD_APP_KEY=your-app-key
export DD_SITE=datadoghq.com    # or datadoghq.eu, etc.
