modapi channels create

Create a channel

Synopsis

Create a channel in a project, with the default rules. The project's first channel becomes its default. Needs the channels:write permission.

modapi channels create [project-id] [flags]

Examples

  modapi channels create --project-id <id> --name <value>

Options

      --body string           Request body as JSON (alternative to individual flags). Can also be provided via stdin; @path reads a file, @- reads stdin to EOF. Use --schema to print the exact JSON Schema.
  -c, --content-type string   The kind of content the channel moderates. (options: profile, message, post, comment, event, product, review, voice, other)
      --description string    The channel's description.
  -h, --help                  help for create
  -k, --key string            The key you pass as 'channel' when you moderate content. Defaults to the name in lowercase with dashes. Must be unique in the project.
  -n, --name string           The channel's name. [required]
  -p, --project-id string     The ID of the project to add the channel to. (or pass it as the [project-id] argument)
      --schema                Print the exact JSON Schema of the request body and exit

Options inherited from parent commands

      --agent-mode             Enable structured errors and default TOON output for AI coding agents. Automatically enabled when a known agent environment is detected (CLAUDECODE, CURSOR_AGENT, etc.). Use --agent-mode=false to disable.
      --color string           Control colored output: auto (color when output is a TTY), always, or never. Respects NO_COLOR and FORCE_COLOR env vars. (default "auto")
  -d, --debug                  Log request and response diagnostics to stderr
      --dry-run                Preview API requests without sending them (no network, no OS keychain). Human preview on stderr; with -o json or --jq, one JSON object per request on stdout. Local mutation commands (auth login, auth logout and configure) make no request: they skip prompts and writes and report a no-op (stderr, or one JSON object on stdout in the machine form)
  -H, --header stringArray     Set a custom HTTP request header (format: "Key: Value"). Can be specified multiple times.
      --include-headers        Include HTTP response headers in the output
      --interactive            Prompt for missing inputs and open guided configure/auth forms (forms fall back to line prompts on stdin off-TTY) (default true)
  -q, --jq string              Filter and transform output using a jq expression (e.g., '.name', '.items[] | .id')
      --no-interactive         Disable all interactive features (auto-prompting, explorer auto-launch, TUI forms)
      --no-keyring             Never read or write the OS keychain; store secrets in the config file instead (env: MODAPI_NO_KEYRING)
  -o, --output-format string   Specify the output format. Options: pretty, json, yaml, table, toon. (default "pretty")
      --raw-output             Write --jq string results as raw text instead of JSON strings (like jq -r); non-string results stay JSON
      --secret-key string      HTTP Bearer
      --server string          Select a server by index (for indexed servers) or name (for named servers)
      --server-url string      Override the default server URL
      --timeout string         HTTP request timeout (e.g., 30s, 5m, 100ms)
      --usage                  Print the CLI Usage schema in KDL format

Machine interface

  • modapi channels create --usage — this command's flags, defaults and env vars as machine-readable KDL
  • modapi channels create --schema — the exact JSON Schema of the request body (all $refs bundled)
  • modapi channels create --dry-run — preview the request without OS-keychain access or a network call (human preview on stderr)
  • --dry-run --output-format json (or a caller-explicit --jq) writes one preview object per request as NDJSON on stdout; jq is not applied to previews
  • --output-format json or --jq <expr> for machine-readable live output; in agent mode errors are a JSON envelope on stderr
