The CLI: install, shape and safety model

What npx argorant is, how it authenticates, and the one rule to internalize.

The Argorant CLI is a dependency-free wrapper over the same REST API everything else uses. It needs no install:

npx argorant count "fintech CFOs in germany"

Or install it globally with npm install -g argorant. The package is named argorant on npm.

Command families

  • login, logout, whoami: authentication and account state
  • count, search, company: free exploration
  • list create, list status: saved segments, free
  • reveal, export: paid contact data
  • verify: check your own addresses
  • campaigns: operator keys only, a separate internal surface

The one rule

reveal, export and verify --file ask for confirmation only when stdin is a terminal and you passed neither -y nor --json. In CI, in a pipe, or inside an agent loop there is no prompt at all and these commands spend immediately. The prompt is a convenience for humans, never a safety net. Check your -n before you run them.

Guardrails that are always on

  • A non-numeric -n aborts instead of falling back to the default limit.
  • A value flag followed by another flag aborts instead of swallowing it.
  • export checks the output path is writable before creating the job, and prints a recovery command if anything fails after billing.
