}General Information
FAQ
Why?
cli.fyi's goal is to create a quick an easy way to fetch information about IPs, emails, domains etc. directly from the command line.
Colourised Output?
Unfortunately Curl currently doesn't support colourised output1. HTTPie is a good alternative which does support colour output.
The JSON-Formatter Chrome extension is a good solution for in-browser JSON formatting.
Rate Limits?
There are no rate limits, however we will block any IP which is abusing the service. If you need to make a significant number of requests you can always host your own version.
Who?
cli.fyi is developed by Dave Earley
