Configuration

The cloudx config commands inspect, validate, edit, and publish inventory configuration stored in CloudX. Available commands:

cloudx config show for the live config, a published version, or a draft
cloudx config validate for local YAML files or remote configs
cloudx config edit for preparing draft changes to apps, ad units, groups, lists, tags, test devices, network mappings, line items, and A/B tests
cloudx config publish for publishing a draft as the live config
cloudx config history for published config history and publish-time diff counts

`cloudx config show`

Shows a config as YAML by default. Use this command when you need to review the exact inventory config that CloudX has stored for an account, compare a published version, or inspect a draft before publishing.

Usage

cloudx config show [flags]

Address Modes

By default, config show returns the live config. Use only one address mode at a time:

Mode	Description
No address flag	Show the live config.
`--id <config-id>`	Show a specific config row by stable ID. Can address a published version or draft.
`--version <number>`	Show a published version number within the account.
`--draft`	Show the account draft. If multiple drafts exist, use `--id` instead.

Flags

Flag	Required	Default	Description
`--id`	No		Stable config row ID.
`--version`	No		Published config version number. Must be greater than `0`.
`--draft`	No	`false`	Show the current account draft.
`--with-metadata`	No	`false`	Include config row metadata in the output.
`--json`	No	`false`	Print structured JSON instead of the default YAML output.

Validation rules:

Use only one of --id, --version, or --draft.
--version must be greater than 0.

Output Format

By default, the command prints the config YAML without row metadata:

cloudx config show

Use --json to print only the raw config data as JSON:

cloudx config show --version 12 --json

Use --with-metadata when you need fields such as config ID, account ID, kind, version number, created time, creator metadata, YAML, and raw data:

cloudx config show --version 12 --with-metadata
cloudx config show --id cfg_123 --with-metadata --json

Examples

Show the live config

cloudx config show

Show a published version

cloudx config show --version 12

Show a config by ID

cloudx config show --id cfg_123

Show the draft with metadata

cloudx config show --draft --with-metadata

`cloudx config validate`

Validates either a local YAML file or a remote config. Use this command before sending a config for review, after creating a draft with cloudx config edit, or when you need JSON validation output for automation.

Usage

cloudx config validate [file] [flags]

Local And Remote Validation

When you pass a file path, validation runs locally and does not call the API:

cloudx config validate config.yaml

When you omit the file path, validation runs against the remote live config by default:

cloudx config validate

Use --id to validate a specific config row, including a draft created by config edit, or --version to validate a published version:

cloudx config validate --id draft_123
cloudx config validate --version 12

Flags

Flag	Required	Default	Description
`file`	No		Local YAML file to validate. Omit to validate the remote live config.
`--id`	No		Stable config row ID to validate remotely.
`--version`	No		Published config version number to validate remotely. Must be greater than `0`.
`--strict`	No	`false`	Exit non-zero when validation warnings are present.
`--json`	No	`false`	Print structured JSON instead of human-readable output.

Validation rules:

Local file validation does not support --id or --version.
Remote validation supports only one of --id or --version.
--version must be greater than 0.
Without --strict, warnings are shown but do not make the command fail.
With --strict, either errors or warnings make the command exit non-zero.

Examples

Validate a local YAML file

cloudx config validate config.yaml

Fail on warnings

cloudx config validate config.yaml --strict

Validate the live config

cloudx config validate

Validate a draft and print JSON

cloudx config validate --id draft_123 --json

Validate a published version

cloudx config validate --version 12

`cloudx config edit`

Edits inventory in a config draft. Most edit commands save a draft and do not publish the config. By default, the CLI creates a draft from the live config. Use --config-id to edit an existing draft in place or copy a specific config row into a new draft. Use cloudx config publish when the draft is ready to become live. After each edit, CloudX validates the resulting draft. The default human-readable output includes the draft ID, whether a draft was created or updated, the base config ID, changed paths, and validation counts. If validation finds issues, the output also shows the cloudx config validate --id <draft-id> command to inspect details. API clients can perform the same writes with POST /api/v1/config/edit. The endpoint requires configuration:write, accepts a typed operations array, and uses the account selected by the authenticated API key. Cascade delete is not exposed in the public CLI or API write surface.

Apps

Create and patch apps with core store metadata. Optional string fields can be cleared on update by passing an empty string.

cloudx config edit create-app --name "Puzzle Quest" --bundle-id com.example.puzzle --platform iOS --os-category GAMES
cloudx config edit update-app --id app_123 --status INACTIVE
cloudx config edit delete-app --id app_123

Ad Units

Create and patch ad units with decimal USD CPM bid floors. --app-id, --id, and references in examples below can be stable IDs or resolvable names where supported by the command.

cloudx config edit create-ad-unit --name "Home Banner" --type BANNER --app-id app_123 --bidfloor 0.5 --banner-refresh-rate-ms 30000
cloudx config edit update-ad-unit --id au_123 --bidfloor 1.5
cloudx config edit delete-ad-unit --id au_123

Ad Unit Groups

Group creates and updates require at least one --ad-unit-id. Updating a group replaces its membership with the supplied IDs.

cloudx config edit create-ad-unit-group --name "Homepage Banners" --ad-unit-id au_123 --ad-unit-id au_456
cloudx config edit update-ad-unit-group --id aug_123 --name "Homepage Banners" --ad-unit-id au_123

cloudx config edit delete-ad-unit-group --id aug_123

Lists

Lists support DOMAIN and IAB_CONTENT_CATEGORY. Pass repeated --value flags, or --empty when an empty list is intentional. Deletes fail while the list is still referenced by targeting or account blocked-list settings.

cloudx config edit update-list --id "Blocked Domains" --empty
cloudx config edit delete-list --id list_123

Test Devices

Test devices are scoped to an app and device advertising identifier. Upsert only changes supplied optional fields on existing devices.

cloudx config edit upsert-test-device --app-id app_123 --device-ifa 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 --device-name "QA iPhone" --test 2 --debug true
cloudx config edit delete-test-device --app-id app_123 --device-ifa 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

Network Mappings

Mappings can target exactly one app or ad unit. Use repeated --field key=value flags for adapter-specific values; CloudX validates required fields and formats in the draft validation result.

cloudx config edit upsert-network-mapping --app-id app_123 --adapter inmobi --field app_id=app-456 --field account_id=acct-789
cloudx config edit delete-network-mapping --ad-unit-id au_123 --adapter meta

A/B Tests

create-ab-test creates a draft. update-ab-test, start-ab-test, end-ab-test, promote-ab-test, and delete-ab-test publish the resulting config immediately and return the published config ID and version.

cloudx config edit create-ab-test --ad-unit-id au_123 --name "Floor test" --traffic-ratio 0.25
cloudx config edit start-ab-test --ad-unit-id au_123
cloudx config edit end-ab-test --ad-unit-id au_123 --winner test
cloudx config edit promote-ab-test --ad-unit-id au_123
cloudx config edit delete-ab-test --ad-unit-id au_123

Create A Line Item

cloudx config edit create-line-item [flags]

Create requires the core line-item fields below:

Flag	Description
`--name <name>`	Line item name.
`--priority <number>`	Line item priority. Lower numbers are evaluated first.
`--bidfloor <usd-cpm>`	Line item floor in decimal USD CPM. For example, `1.5` is `$1.50` CPM.

Create also requires exactly one target:

Flag	Description
`--ad-unit-id <id>`	Target ad unit ID.
`--ad-unit-group-id <id>`	Target ad unit group ID.

Optional fields:

Flag	Description
`--status <status>`	Line item status, such as `draft`, `active`, or `paused`.
`--bidder <adapter>`	Bidder adapter to enable. Repeat for multiple bidders.

Example:

cloudx config edit create-line-item \
  --name "US Rewarded" \
  --priority 2 \
  --bidfloor 1.5 \
  --ad-unit-id au_123 \
  --bidder meta \
  --bidder unityAds

Update A Line Item

cloudx config edit update-line-item --id <line-item-id> [fields]

Update commands are patch-like. Only --id is always required; pass at least one patch field to change. Omitted fields keep their current values. Changing the target with --ad-unit-id or --ad-unit-group-id clears the previous target reference. Patch fields:

Flag	Description
`--id <id>`	Line item ID. Required.
`--name <name>`	Optional. Patch the line item name.
`--priority <number>`	Optional. Patch the line item priority.
`--bidfloor <usd-cpm>`	Optional. Patch the line item floor in decimal USD CPM.
`--status <status>`	Optional. Patch the line item status.
`--ad-unit-id <id>`	Optional. Patch the target ad unit ID and clear any ad unit group target.
`--ad-unit-group-id <id>`	Optional. Patch the target ad unit group ID and clear any ad unit target.
`--bidder <adapter>`	Optional. Replace bidders with the provided bidder adapter list. Repeat for multiple bidders.
`--clear-bidders`	Optional. Clear all bidders from the line item. Cannot be used with `--bidder`.

Validation rules:

Pass at least one patch field in addition to --id.
Use only one of --ad-unit-id or --ad-unit-group-id.
Use only one of --bidder or --clear-bidders.

Examples:

cloudx config edit update-line-item --id li_123 --bidfloor 1.5
cloudx config edit update-line-item --id li_123 --priority 3 --status paused
cloudx config edit update-line-item --id li_123 --clear-bidders

Delete A Line Item

cloudx config edit delete-line-item --id <line-item-id>

Only --id is required. Examples:

cloudx config edit delete-line-item --id li_123
cloudx config edit delete-line-item --id li_123 --summary "Remove old rewarded line item"

OpenAPI Operations

POST /api/v1/config/edit uses the same operation names as the CLI: create_app, update_app, delete_app, create_ad_unit, update_ad_unit, delete_ad_unit, create_ad_unit_group, update_ad_unit_group, delete_ad_unit_group, remove_ad_unit_from_group, create_list, update_list, delete_list, create_tag, update_tag, delete_tag, upsert_test_device, delete_test_device, upsert_network_mapping, delete_network_mapping, create_line_item, update_line_item, delete_line_item, create_ab_test, update_ab_test, start_ab_test, end_ab_test, promote_ab_test, and delete_ab_test.

{
  "summary": "Raise US rewarded floor",
  "operations": [
    {
      "update_line_item": [
        {
          "id": "li_123",
          "bidfloor": 1.5
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

`cloudx config publish`

Publishes a draft config as the live config. Use this command after editing and validating a draft. CloudX runs the same publish-time validation checks used by the dashboard before the draft becomes live.

Usage

cloudx config publish --id <draft-id> [flags]

Flags

Flag	Required	Default	Description
`--id`	Yes		Draft config row ID to publish as live.
`--version-label`	No		Optional label for the published config version.
`--json`	No	`false`	Print structured JSON instead of the default concise output.

Validation behavior:

Validation errors prevent publishing and make the command exit non-zero.
Warnings are shown after a successful publish but do not make the command fail.
When warnings remain, the output shows a cloudx config validate --id <config-id> command to inspect details.

Examples

Publish a draft

cloudx config publish --id draft_123

Publish with a version label

cloudx config publish --id draft_123 --version-label "May floor update"

Print the publish response as JSON

cloudx config publish --id draft_123 --json

Adjust a bid floor and publish

cloudx config edit update-line-item --id li_123 --bidfloor 1.5 --summary "Raise US rewarded floor"
cloudx config validate --id draft_123
cloudx config publish --id draft_123 --version-label "Raise US rewarded floor"

`cloudx config history`

Lists config history rows as a table by default. Use this command when you need to review recent config publishes, see who created each row, or check the precomputed publish-time diff counts for additions and deletions.

Usage

cloudx config history [flags]

Flags

Flag	Required	Default	Description
`--since`	No		Only include configs created at or after this time. Supports RFC3339 timestamps or `YYYY-MM-DD` dates.
`--author`	No		Filter by creator user ID, email, or name substring.
`--include-drafts`	No	`false`	Include config drafts. By default only published versions are returned.
`--json`	No	`false`	Print structured JSON instead of the default table output.

Validation rules:

--since must be an RFC3339 timestamp or a YYYY-MM-DD date.

Output Format

The default table includes the config ID, version number, kind, created time, author, diff summary, version label, and description.

cloudx config history

Diff values are shown as +additions/-deletions, using the diff_additions and diff_deletions values computed when the config was published. Use --json when scripts need the raw response fields:

cloudx config history --since 2026-05-01 --json

Examples

List published config history

cloudx config history

List recent config changes

cloudx config history --since 2026-05-01

Filter by author

cloudx config history --author alice@example.com

Include drafts

cloudx config history --include-drafts
