WP Engine CLI

A command-line tool for managing WP Engine hosting accounts via their API. Built in Rust and published on crates.io as wpe. I built this because I was tired of writing the same API calls over and over and wanted something concrete for WordPress deployment pipelines.

Features

  • Manage sites, installs, accounts, and users from the terminal
  • Headless mode (-H) for CI/CD pipelines and scripting
  • Credential management with secure local storage
  • Paginated listing with single-resource lookup
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, WSL)

Usage

# Install from crates.io
cargo install wpe

# List all sites
wpe -H sites list

# Add a new site
wpe -H sites add <NAME> <ACCOUNT_ID>

# Manage installs
wpe -H installs list <INSTALL_ID>

Tech Stack

  • Rust — core implementation, no async runtime
  • clap — CLI argument parsing
  • reqwest — HTTP client for WP Engine API
  • serde — JSON serialization
