API

Make authenticated requests to any Redmine REST API endpoint:

# GET the current user
redmine api /users/current.json

# GET with query parameters
redmine api /issues.json -f project_id=myproject -f limit=5

# POST with JSON fields (method auto-detected)
redmine api /issues.json -F 'issue[subject]=Bug report' -F 'issue[project_id]=1'

# POST from a file (use - for stdin)
redmine api /issues.json --input body.json

# Explicit HTTP method
redmine api -X DELETE /issues/123.json

# Show response headers
redmine api /issues.json -i

# Suppress output
redmine api -X PUT /issues/123.json -F 'issue[status_id]=5' --silent

Flag	Short	Description
--method	-X	HTTP method (default: GET, or POST when body provided)
--field	-f	Query parameter as key=value (repeatable)
--raw-field	-F	JSON body field as key=value (repeatable)
--input		Read request body from file (- for stdin)
--include	-i	Show response status line and headers
--silent		Suppress response output

JSON responses are pretty-printed when stdout is a terminal. Non-2xx responses still print the body but exit with code 1.
