{tab|zulip-send}
|
|
|
|
You can use `zulip-send`
|
|
(available after you `pip install zulip`) to easily send Zulips from
|
|
the command-line, providing the message content via STDIN.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# For stream messages
|
|
zulip-send --stream Denmark --subject Castle \
|
|
--user othello-bot@example.com --api-key a0b1c2d3e4f5a6b7c8d9e0f1a2b3c4d5
|
|
|
|
# For private messages
|
|
zulip-send hamlet@example.com \
|
|
--user othello-bot@example.com --api-key a0b1c2d3e4f5a6b7c8d9e0f1a2b3c4d5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Passing in the message on the command-line
|
|
|
|
If you'd like, you can also provide the message on the command-line with the
|
|
`-m` or `--message` flag, as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
zulip-send --stream Denmark --subject Castle \
|
|
--message 'I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts.' \
|
|
--user othello-bot@example.com --api-key a0b1c2d3e4f5a6b7c8d9e0f1a2b3c4d5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can omit the `user` and `api-key` parameters if you have a `~/.zuliprc`
|
|
file.
