package: packages/regscale-packages.yml
version: 6.42.0.0
released: '2026-08-26'
license: MIT
official: true
summary: >-
  RegScale's first-party command line interface and Python SDK. RegScale positions it as a
  "side car" run on a CRON job or serverless function for advanced automation and bulk data
  processing, and explicitly licenses it for redistribution inside other commercial software
  to lower the cost of building RegScale integrations.
install:
- method: pip
  command: pip install regscale-cli
- method: pip-extra

  detail: >-
    The CLI doubles as the RegScale Python SDK. `regscale-dev make-docs` builds a browsable
    Sphinx reference of the CLI's classes and methods so teams can write custom data scripts
    against the RegScale API through the same model layer the CLI uses.
