Enrich Layer CLI
Command-line interface for the Enrich Layer API. Enrich profiles, search contacts, and manage API keys from your terminal.
The Enrich Layer CLI lets you query the API directly from your terminal. Look up profiles, search for contacts, export results, and manage API keys without writing any code.
Install
npm install -g enrichlayer-clibash
The package installs two binaries that point at the same script: el (short, default) and enrichlayer (full brand name). Use whichever you prefer.
Verify the installation:
el --version
# or, equivalent:
enrichlayer --versionbash
Authenticate
el loginbash
This opens your browser to authenticate. Your API key is stored locally at ~/.config/enrichlayer/credentials.json.
Alternatively, set the key via environment variable:
export ENRICHLAYER_API_KEY=your_key_herebash
