# Bigdata CLI updates

> Bigdata CLI updates and announcements

<Update label="2026-05-22" tags={["Beta"]} rss={{ title: "Bigdata CLI Beta release", description: "First Beta release of the Bigdata CLI, a command-line interface to the Bigdata.com REST API with Search and Knowledge Graph support." }}>
  **Bigdata CLI Beta release**

  The **Bigdata CLI** is now available in **Beta**. It is a command-line interface to the Bigdata.com REST API that lets agents and developers query Bigdata Services from the terminal, pipe results into other tools, and orchestrate workflows in scripts or CI.

  This first release supports the **Search** and **Knowledge Graph** endpoints, with more services coming soon.

  **Key capabilities:**

  * **Search**: Run searches across news, filings, and transcripts, aggregate volume over time, and explore co-mentioned entities.
  * **Knowledge Graph**: Discover entities with fuzzy search (`bigdata find`) or resolve known identifiers like ISIN, CUSIP, or ticker (`bigdata resolve`).
  * **Composable**: Output structured JSON for piping into `jq` and other shell tools, making it natural to chain commands.
  * **Two entry points**: Available as `bigdata` (full name) and `bd` (short alias) after installation.

  Install via PyPI as [`bigdata-cli`](https://pypi.org/project/bigdata-cli/), then run `bigdata configure` to set up your API key.

  We'd love to hear about your use cases: where you're using the CLI, and any frictions you run into. Reach out at [support@bigdata.com](mailto:support@bigdata.com) to help us shape what comes next.

  See the [Bigdata CLI introduction](/cli-reference/introduction) for installation and a quick tour of the commands.
