Project setup with line command

Let's start, to initialize project configuration file. Please go to your LINE Developer Console and get Channel ID and Channel secret. If you do not want to issue a short-lived access token later on, you will also need a long-lived access token.

Once you have the information, run line command with init operation.

line init

This command will create .line-api-cli.yml configuration file containing necessary information for the CLI to handle API request/response for you.

Issue a short-lived access token

Long-lived access token is nice and easy to use for developers but it is not as secured as a short-lived access token.

To issue a short-lived access token, run the following command.

line token --issue

line token --issue

Ok, sometime you may feel insecure after exposing access token somewhere. No problem, you can revoke it with --revoke option.
