Pls also have a look https://github.com/digitalocean/doctl:

Flags:
  -t, --access-token string   API V2 access token
  -u, --api-url string        Override default API endpoint
  -c, --config string         Specify a custom config file (default "$HOME/.config/doctl/config.yaml")
      --context string        Specify a custom authentication context name
  -h, --help                  help for doctl
  -o, --output string         Desired output format [text|json] (default "text")

I do want a --no-header flag when listing instance, so I can do batch operation in bash shell easier.

I'd still love a CSV output as it's a much simpler format to work with in many scripts.

JSON output format would be great!

[Levilutz]

This change would be great, and would go miles towards more convenient migration to Vultr from competitors. Any movement since @relwell's PR? @optik-aper you mentioned govultr changes that superseded that PR, are those visible anywhere?

[optik-aper]

@Levilutz Sorry, somehow I missed this mention. The changes are in govultr so yeah, we can make this a priority seeing that there is so much demand. I'll try to get it in for the next minor release.

Any updates to this @optik-aper? It looks like we were very close to having this via #292 which was closed over a year ago. I'd like to transition to using the CLI but I won't be able to do that until the output can be parsed programmatically via JSON.

Many thanks!

@chrisdeeming It's my main focus at the moment and I'm almost done. The next release will support a --output json flag on all commands.
