CloudQuery CLI Changes - Mandatory Login Now Required

CLI authentication has changed since this post. See the getting started guide for current setup instructions.

We have an important update regarding our CloudQuery CLI. Starting today, a login will be required for all integrations and their versions released after this date. This affects integration downloads from CloudQuery registry using the cloudquery sync, migrate, tables and the plugin install commands, and also using API.

If you're not already using a login to access CloudQuery, you'll need to start doing so. Further details on this are contained later in this update.

Why we are making this change

This change allows us to protect our CloudQuery hub backend, gather usage statistics, enabling us to tailor our product to your needs and helping us prioritize support and improvements to the integrations that need it the most. This means new integrations that meet our customers' needs and support for new features and other enhancements to our existing library of integrations.

There are two ways to authenticate with the CLI: using the cloudquery login command (see documentation), or using an API key in an environment variable.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to the continued growth of CloudQuery together. As ever, we're keen to hear any feedback that you have about the integrations that you are already using or any new ones that would improve your experience. You can always share this feedback in the CloudQuery Community.

What we collect

Data we are collecting when an integration is downloaded:

  • date
  • team name
  • integration name
  • integration version
