Does it do anything for you?  After reading the issue tracker it's 
clear to me that gandi.cli is unusable and unmaintained.  I'd love 
to be proven wrong.

Here ‘gandi domain list’ returns ‘Invalid API key, please use 
'gandi setup' command’ no matter what I do.  All non-trivial 
operations require an old XMLRPC key which isn't ever possible to 
generate nowadays[0].

Kind regards,

T G-R

I'm not a regular user of gandi.cli (hope I will) so I've not tested all
the features now, but it is working for me

You have to use Gandi V4 customer web interface to get the "legacy"
XMLRPC API key and it worked for me, done 3 minutes ago

https://v4.gandi.net/admin/api_key

They are planning to close the v4 customer web interface, I hope they
will fix this before... but fortunately it's still working

HTH! Gio'

No, thank you for your reply :-)

I'd love to, but that doesn't work for everyone anymore:

  Account already migrated
  This account has already been migrated to Gandi's new 
  website. […]

That message is new.  When I opened this bug a week ago, logging 
into V4 still broke IceCat with a redirect loop, with no 
indication of what went wrong.  I haven't changed or updated my 
browser since.

I'm glad to hear it's still working for you, at least, and I 
suspect someone who really needs the CLI could ask support for an 
XMLRPC key.  That's enough to keep it in Guix.  It was not enough 
to keep me with Gandi.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Mumble... actually I don't know why but I'm able to log in in V4 (using
the "legacy" handle") and V5

The joy of web interfaces :-S

ehrm, ehrm: actually I never used gandi.cli and I'm testing it in my
spare time

1. the legacy "gandi domain list" just lists the domanins of my "legacy"
v4 handle

2. "gandi dns domain.list" (the v5 equivalent) gives an empty list

3. curl -H "Authorization: Apikey $GANDI_APIKEY" https://api.gandi.net/v5/domain/domains
gives me the complete list (that means the domains in all the organizations I'm part of)

gandi.cli needs more love:

1. https://github.com/Gandi/gandi.cli/issues/279
Unable to manage domains migrated to Gandi-V5

2. https://github.com/Gandi/gandi.cli/issues/288 (Order domain name via API V5)

and probably also the API:

1. https://github.com/Gandi/gandi.cli/issues/285
dns update command reports "Remote API service is unreachable"

that bugs are still open, they made some commits since the 1.5 release
but AFAIU by a quick look at the code that ploblems are still open (and
probably upgrading gandi.cli to a newer commit won't enhance the
situation)

[...]

Ciao, Gio'
