Miniflux-CLI

Miniflux-CLI is a command-line interface for managing Miniflux feeds. Use this to authenticate with Miniflux, add new feeds, and search entries.

Getting Started

Before using any commands (except login and logout), you must authenticate with your Miniflux instance.

Login

Authenticate with your Miniflux instance:

miniflux-cli login --endpoint <URL> --api-key <KEY>

--endpoint: Your Miniflux instance URL (e.g., https://miniflux.example.com)
--api-key: API key from Miniflux Settings

The configuration is saved to ~/.config/miniflux-cli/config.toml and verified automatically.

Logout

Remove stored credentials:

miniflux-cli logout

Commands

Add a New Feed

miniflux-cli add <feed_url>

Add a new RSS/Atom feed to your Miniflux instance.

Important: Before adding a feed, verify that the URL returns valid RSS/Atom XML. The Miniflux instance may be rate limited by the target server if it repeatedly attempts to fetch invalid or non-existent feed URLs. Use a tool like curl or a browser to validate the feed first.

Example:

miniflux-cli add https://example.com/feed.xml

List Entries

miniflux-cli list [OPTIONS]

List feed entries (ordered by publication date, newest first). Default shows only unread entries.

Options:

--limit <n>: Maximum number of results (default: 30)
--search <query>: Search through entries with query text
--starred: Filter by starred entries only
--all: List all entries (default is unread only)
--json: Output in JSON format

Examples:

# List latest 30 unread entries
miniflux-cli list

# List all entries
miniflux-cli list --all

# Search entries
miniflux-cli list --search "golang"

# List starred entries with limit
miniflux-cli list --starred --limit 50

# Combine multiple filters
miniflux-cli list --all --search "golang" --limit 20
miniflux-cli list --search "golang" --json

Configuration

Authentication credentials are stored in ~/.config/miniflux-cli/config.toml with the following format:

endpoint = "https://miniflux.example.com"
api_key = "your-api-key"

Error Handling

If you see "failed to load config" errors, run miniflux-cli login to set up your credentials.
