Using the CLI

The dm CLI brings DealMachine to your terminal — search, enrich, and export with simple commands or pipe JSON for scripting.

DealMachine in your terminal

The CLI is published as @dealmachine/cli and installs the dm command. It talks to the same API, so anything you can do over REST you can do from the shell — great for scripts and one-off lookups.

Install and log in

npm install -g @dealmachine/cli

# Sign in through the browser…
dm login

# …or with an API key directly
dm login --key dm_sk_live_xxx

# Confirm who you are
dm whoami

Search and enrich

# Search properties from an inline JSON body
dm properties search \
  --body '{"locations":[{"type":"zip_code","code":"78704"}]}' --json

# Enrich a single address
dm enrich address "123 Main St, Austin, TX 78704" --json

# Discover available filters
dm filters --source-type properties --search "owner"

Most commands accept --json for machine-readable output.

Handy flags

--json — machine-readable output for scripts
--body / -f — pass a request as inline JSON or a file
--quiet — suppress spinners (useful in pipelines)
--help — per-command help and options
