Output Formats¶

RevenueCat CLI supports 7 output formats. Use the --output flag (or the RC_OUTPUT environment variable) to switch between them.

rc <command> --output <format>

Available Formats¶

Format	Flag Value	Best For
JSON	`json`	Piping to `jq`, API integration, scripting
Pretty JSON	`pretty`	Human-readable inspection
Table	`table`	Quick visual overview in the terminal
CSV	`csv`	Spreadsheet import, data analysis
TSV	`tsv`	Tab-separated processing, clipboard pasting
YAML	`yaml`	Configuration files, readability
Minimal	`minimal`	Extracting single values for shell scripts

Format Examples¶

All examples use rc apps list with two apps in the project.

JSON (default)¶

rc apps list --output json

{
  "items": [
    {
      "id": "app_xxxxx",
      "name": "My iOS App",
      "type": "app_store"
    },
    {
      "id": "app_yyyyy",
      "name": "My Android App",
      "type": "play_store"
    }
  ],
  "next_page": null
}

Pretty JSON¶

rc apps list --output pretty

Identical structure to JSON but with syntax highlighting and indentation optimized for terminal readability.

Table¶

rc apps list --output table

ID          NAME              TYPE
app_xxxxx   My iOS App        app_store
app_yyyyy   My Android App    play_store

CSV¶

rc apps list --output csv

id,name,type
app_xxxxx,My iOS App,app_store
app_yyyyy,My Android App,play_store

TSV¶

rc apps list --output tsv

id  name    type
app_xxxxx   My iOS App  app_store
app_yyyyy   My Android App  play_store

YAML¶

rc apps list --output yaml

items:
  - id: app_xxxxx
    name: My iOS App
    type: app_store
  - id: app_yyyyy
    name: My Android App
    type: play_store
next_page: null

Minimal¶

rc apps list --output minimal

app_xxxxx My iOS App app_store
app_yyyyy My Android App play_store

Tip

Minimal output is ideal for shell scripts. Combine with awk to extract specific fields:

rc apps list --output minimal | awk '{print $1}'

Setting a Default Format¶

Per-session¶

export RC_OUTPUT=table
rc apps list          # uses table format
rc products list      # also uses table format

Per-profile¶

rc auth login --api-key sk_xxxxx --name dev
# Then set RC_OUTPUT in your shell profile for that context

Per-command¶

rc apps list --output csv

The --output flag always takes precedence over the environment variable.
