# ezBookkeeping API Tools

## Usage

```

Windows

```powershell
scripts\ebktools.ps1 list
```

### Show help for a specific command

Linux / macOS

```

Windows

scripts\ebktools.ps1 help <command>
```

### Call API

Linux / macOS

```bash
sh scripts/ebktools.sh [global-options] <command> [command-options]
```

Windows

```powershell
scripts\ebktools.ps1 [global-options] <command> [command-options]
```

## Troubleshooting

If the script reports that the environment variable `EBKTOOL_SERVER_BASEURL` or `EBKTOOL_TOKEN` is not set, user can define them as system environment variables, or create a `.env` file in the user home directory that contains these two variables and place it there.

The meanings of these environment variables are as follows:

| Variable | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `EBKTOOL_SERVER_BASEURL` | Required | ezBookkeeping server base URL (e.g., `http://localhost:8080`) |
| `EBKTOOL_TOKEN` | Required | ezBookkeeping API token |
