# Global flags

> Root-level flags and flags shared across many Blnk CLI commands.

Global flags apply at the root of the CLI or recur on multiple commands. Command-specific flags are documented on each resource or additional command page.

***

## Global flags

Blnk CLI supports the following global flags:

| Flag            | Type    | Description                                                                         |
| :-------------- | :------ | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `-h, --help`    | boolean | Show help for the current command. Run `blnk [command] --help` for subcommand help. |
| `-v, --version` | boolean | Print the CLI version and exit.                                                     |

## Shared resource flags

These flags appear on many `list`, `create`, and fetch commands under **Resource commands**.

| Flag         | Type    | Default | Description                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| :----------- | :------ | :------ | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `--json`     | boolean | -       | Print the full API response as JSON. On `create`, prints JSON after a successful request. On `list`, applies when fetching a single resource with `--id`.                                     |
| `--id`       | string  | -       | Fetch a single resource by ID on `list` commands (for example `--id ldg_abc123` for ledgers). Without `--json`, the CLI prints a formatted summary; with `--json`, it prints the full object. |
| `-p, --page` | integer | `1`     | Page number for paginated list results.                                                                                                                                                       |
| `--per-page` | integer | `10`    | Number of results per page for paginated lists.                                                                                                                                               |
| `--{field}`  | string  | -       | Filter list results by any indexed field. Pass the field name after `--` and the value after a space. Quote comma-separated values for multiple matches, for example `--currency "USD,EUR"`.  |
| `-h, --help` | boolean | -       | Show help for the current subcommand.                                                                                                                                                         |
