Synopsis

A CLI to interact with the Hetzner Robot API - Copyright 2025 Fabian Topfstedt

Usage

All of the usage docs live in docs/hobot.md ↗

Output formats

Hobot supports theses output formats when interacting with Hetzner’s Robot API:

table

A CSV-compliant, comma-separated list with a header line (omit headers with --no-headers). Field order is not guaranteed! Use the next option to explicitly lock in the fields (and their order) when building your tooling.

table=Foo,Bar,Baz

Same as above, but you specify exactly which fields to output (and in what order).

json

Pretty-printed JSON output.

yaml

YAML-formatted output.

Output processing

In the spirit of UNIX pipelines, use the right tool for each format:

For CSV/table data:

• cut
• awk
• csvtk

For JSON data:

• jq

For YAML data:

• yq

Pipe Hobot’s output into these utilities when building your scripts!
