# CLI quickstart

Install the commentscraper CLI, authorize your machine and pull your first comments as JSON, in three commands.

Adlicio ships a `commentscraper` CLI. It pulls ranked angles, pains and hooks, scraped from real comments on Reddit, YouTube, Amazon and more, straight into your scripts.

> **Warning:** **All Access required.** The commentscraper CLI and local MCP ship with every All Access plan. Free covers a Reddit taste in the hosted connector; All Access unlocks every source plus the developer tools.

## Install the CLI

Install it globally with npm:

```bash
npm install -g commentscraper
```

## Authorize this machine

This opens your browser to sign in, then stores the token locally:

```bash
commentscraper login
```

Manage or revoke authorized devices anytime from [your account](https://tryadlicio.com/app/account).

## Pull your first comments

Pull the comments from any supported thread as JSON:

```bash
commentscraper scrape "reddit.com/r/startups/comments/e1sf2t/" --format json --quiet
```
