Log in with the Bolna CLI

Authenticate and store your API key in your OS’s native credential store. See Authentication for how storage and profiles work.

Syntax

bolna login [flags]

On a real terminal, this opens an interactive form with a masked input for your API key. The key is validated live before anything is saved.

Flag	Description	Default
`-h, --help`	Show help for the command	–
`--api-key string`	Pass the key directly, skipping the interactive prompt	–

Plus the global flags — --profile in particular.

bolna login

? Bolna API key: ****************************************
✓ Verified — logged in as ops@acme.com

# Non-interactive, for CI
bolna login --api-key "$BOLNA_API_KEY"

# Log in to a second, named profile
bolna login --profile client-acme

You rarely need to run this at all — any command that needs auth and finds none offers to log you in inline. See Never a Dead End.
