EdgeWorkers CLI

EdgeWorkers CLI The EdgeWorkers command line interface (CLI) expedites the process of registering, uploading, activating and testing EdgeWorkers functions on the Akamai Edge network.

Go to Akamai CLI for EdgeKV for information on how to manage EdgeKV databases and call the EdgeKV API from the command line.

Technical Setup Requirements

To use this tool you need:

• Akamai CLI installed.
  • If you do not have the CLI and are using Homebrew on a Mac, run this command: brew install akamai
  • You may also download OS-specific CLI binaries or a Docker image
• Valid EdgeGrid credentials configured via Akamai Control Center (see Get Started with APIs)
• Node version 7 or higher

Install or Update the EdgeWorkers

• If you do not have the EdgeWorkers CLI package installed, use the following Akamai CLI command to install the latest EdgeWorkers CLI package:

Usage:
akamai install edgeworkers

• If you already have the CLI installed, use the following Akamai CLI command to install the latest EdgeWorkers CLI package that includes EdgeKV functionality:

Usage:
akamai update edgeworkers
