upstash-cli

name	upstash-cli
description	Run the Upstash CLI (`upstash`) against the Upstash Developer API for Redis, Vector, Search, QStash, and teams. Use when listing or managing databases, backups, vector/search indexes, QStash instances, team members, stats, or any non-interactive Upstash automation with JSON output and terminal commands.

The Upstash CLI (upstash) manages Upstash services via the Upstash Developer API. All commands are non-interactive and emit JSON on stdout. Errors go to stderr as { "error": "..." } with exit code 1.

Install

npm i -g @upstash/cli

Authentication

Recommended: run upstash login once per machine. Prompts for email and a Developer API key (create one at https://console.upstash.com/account/api), verifies them, and saves to ~/.config/upstash/config.json.

upstash login

Alternatives — env vars (also auto-loaded from a .env in cwd), or --email / --api-key inline, or --env-path <path> to point at a specific .env:

export UPSTASH_EMAIL=[e-mail]
export UPSTASH_API_KEY=your_api_key

Precedence: flags > env vars > .env > saved config. Prefer a read-only API key for agents when possible — mutations fail at the API, the same way they would in the console.

Redis

upstash redis list
upstash redis get --db-id <id> [--hide-credentials]
upstash redis create --name <name> --region <region> [--read-regions <r1> <r2>]
upstash redis delete --db-id <id> [--dry-run]
upstash redis rename --db-id <id> --name <new-name>
upstash redis reset-password --db-id <id>
upstash redis stats --db-id <id>

upstash redis enable-tls --db-id <id>
upstash redis {enable,disable}-eviction --db-id <id>
upstash redis {enable,disable}-autoupgrade --db-id <id>
upstash redis change-plan --db-id <id> --plan <free|payg|pro|paid>
upstash redis update-budget --db-id <id> --budget <cents>
upstash redis update-regions --db-id <id> --read-regions <r1> <r2>
upstash redis move-to-team --db-id <id> --team-id <id>

Regions — AWS: us-east-1, us-east-2, us-west-1, us-west-2, ca-central-1, eu-central-1, eu-west-1, eu-west-2, sa-east-1, ap-south-1, ap-northeast-1, ap-southeast-1, ap-southeast-2, af-south-1. GCP: us-central1, us-east4, europe-west1, asia-northeast1.

Redis backups

upstash redis backup list --db-id <id>
upstash redis backup create --db-id <id> --name <name>
upstash redis backup delete --db-id <id> --backup-id <id> [--dry-run]
upstash redis backup restore --db-id <id> --backup-id <id>
upstash redis backup {enable,disable}-daily --db-id <id>

Redis exec (REST, not the Developer API key)

upstash redis exec --db-url <url> --db-token <token> SET key value
upstash redis exec --db-url <url> --db-token <token> --json '["SET","key","value"]'

--db-url / --db-token fall back to UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL / UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN. Get both from endpoint and rest_token in upstash redis get --db-id <id>.

Team

upstash team list
upstash team create --name <name> [--copy-cc]
upstash team delete --team-id <id> [--dry-run]
upstash team members --team-id <id>
upstash team add-member --team-id <id> --member-email <email> --role <admin|dev|finance>
upstash team remove-member --team-id <id> --member-email <email> [--dry-run]

Vector

upstash vector list
upstash vector get --index-id <id>
upstash vector create --name <name> --region <region> --similarity-function <fn> --dimension-count <n> [--type payg] [--index-type <type>] [--embedding-model <m>] [--sparse-embedding-model <m>]
upstash vector delete --index-id <id> [--dry-run]
upstash vector rename --index-id <id> --name <new-name>
upstash vector reset-password --index-id <id>
upstash vector set-plan --index-id <id> --plan <free|payg|fixed>
upstash vector transfer --index-id <id> --target-account <id>
upstash vector stats                             # aggregate across all indexes
upstash vector index-stats --index-id <id> [--period <1h|3h|12h|1d|3d|7d|30d>]

Regions: eu-west-1, us-east-1, us-central1. Similarity: COSINE, EUCLIDEAN, DOT_PRODUCT. Index types: DENSE, SPARSE, HYBRID. Dense models: BGE_SMALL_EN_V1_5, BGE_BASE_EN_V1_5, BGE_LARGE_EN_V1_5, BGE_M3. Sparse models: BM25, BGE_M3. For HYBRID with managed embeddings, set --dimension-count 0.

Search

upstash search list
upstash search get --index-id <id>
upstash search create --name <name> --region <region> --type <free|payg|fixed>
upstash search delete --index-id <id> [--dry-run]
upstash search rename --index-id <id> --name <new-name>

QStash

upstash qstash list                              # run first; maps region → id
upstash qstash get --qstash-id <id>
upstash qstash rotate-token --qstash-id <id>

upstash qstash ipv4                              # CIDR blocks for allowlisting
upstash qstash move-to-team --qstash-id <id> --target-team-id <id>
upstash qstash update-budget --qstash-id <id> --budget <dollars>    # 0 = no limit
upstash qstash {enable,disable}-prodpack --qstash-id <id>

Conventions

• Pipe any output to jq for field extraction, e.g. upstash redis list | jq '.[].database_id'.
• Use --dry-run first on any delete or remove-member.
• Use --hide-credentials on redis get when the password isn't needed.
