jibo-app

::: warning This was written by AI. This is for a script that is private. :::

A Node.js command-line interface for interacting with the Jibo robot's cloud services. It wraps the @jibo/jibo-server-client SDK and exposes every API endpoint — account management, loop (family group) management, media, messaging (Jot), robot provisioning, encryption keys, OTA updates, and more — as individual sub-commands.

Prerequisites

• Node.js v6 or later
• npm dependencies installed (npm install in the parent project)

Credentials Setup

Every command requires three credentials:

Field	Description
region	Server region slug, e.g. alpha-entrypoint or stg1-entrypoint
accessKeyId	AWS-style access key ID
secretAccessKey	AWS-style secret access key

Credentials are resolved in the following priority order (highest wins):

1. Command-line flags

-s, --serverRegion <region>
-i, --accessKeyId <id>        (must be paired with -k)
-k, --secretAccessKey <key>   (must be paired with -i)

2. Environment variables

export JIBO_SERVER_REGION=alpha-entrypoint
export JIBO_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID
export JIBO_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

3. Credentials file (default)

By default the script reads ~/.jibo/credentials.json. Create it like so:

mkdir -p ~/.jibo
cat > ~/.jibo/credentials.json <<'EOF'
{
    "region": "alpha-entrypoint",
    "accessKeyId": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID",
    "secretAccessKey": "YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"
}
EOF
chmod 600 ~/.jibo/credentials.json

You can point to a different file with -f <path>, or disable file loading entirely with -f "" (then rely on env vars or flags).

Tip: After running AccountLogin or LoopGetRobot you can capture the credentials output and write them directly to a file with the -w <file> flag.

Running the script

node jibo-app.js [global options] <Command> [command args...]

Print the help/command list:

node jibo-app.js help

-k, --secretAccessKey <key>	Secret access key (pair with -i)
-i, --accessKeyId <id>	Access key ID (pair with -k)

-w, --credentialsFile <path>	Write returned credentials to a JSON file (AccountLogin / LoopGetRobot only)
