1. A basic command (products, cutchart, customs)
2. An optional argument (if desired)

• Find out what commands and arguments are available.

  cc-cli -h
  

  The request and response for viewing commands and arguments could look like this:

• Download modified Powermax105 cut chart data, based on the provided XML file.

  cc-cli customs -p powermax105 -x myStyle.xml -o cc.xlsx
  

  The request and response for uploading an XML file (myStyle.xml) to the customs endpoint and downloading the updated Powermax105 cut chart data outfile (cc.xlsx) could look like this:

  In this example:

  • myStyle.xml defines how to customize cut chart data. This file must be saved in the same location as the cc-cli executable file before making the request. For testing purposes, you can use the myStyle.xml file provided in this repo.

  • cc.xlsx is automatically created to provide updated cut chart data. Once the "Success" response is returned, look for this file in the same location as your XML file.

  Name the XML file and the outfile whatever you want.

• Check for and apply updates

  Check for the latest updates or choose from all released versions.

  cc-cli --update
  

  When updating, a backup of the current version is saved to "%APPDATA%\cc-cli\versions".
