Studio control, better known as stuctl (affectionately pronounced stew-cuttle), is a simple command-line tool for interacting with Clear Street Studio via it's public APIs

Usage

The only prerequisite for using stuctl is having nodejs v20.11.1 or higher installed.

Assuming you're running the right version node, run the following command to install stuctl:

$ npm install -g @clear-street/stuctl

Most commands provided by stuctl require authentication. To properly authenticate, you need to follow Clear Street Studio's OAuth2 flow:

If you don't have an OAuth2 credentials already, here are the steps:

1. Sign into Clear Street Studio
2. Navigate to Settings -> Developer
3. Create a new OAuth2 API credential
4. Download your credentials to a secure location

Now, you can provide stuctl the proper authentication using the login command:

$ stuctl login /path/to/oauth2-creds.json

You can now successfully invoke other stuctl commands, like buy, sell, etc.

Data

This app persists data, such as access tokens, for use between runs. This data is stored in a file named .sturc. Values from the .sturc file are injected as environment variables when stuctl runs. The .sturc file lives in ~/.sturc on Linux-based systems, or %USERPROFILE%/.sturc on Windows systems.

Since access tokens are stored in this file, it's important you keep this file safe and secure.

You can additionally manually add these values to your .sturc file to avoid having to provide them through command-line arguments:

• ACCOUNT=<your-account>

This will default all commands that require an account to use <your-account>.

• URL=<studio-api-url>

This will point stuctl to the provided Studio API URL.
