Faster way to retrieve multiple passwords at once (v2)

This is the same question as in this feature but for v2. The syntax of the CLI changed a bit and I haven't been able to figure out a way to pipe through a list of items to get multiple passwords.

    Nevermind. Found my answer in examples: https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/reference/management-commands/item#item-list-examples

    Example: "op item list --tags org-setup --format=json | op item get - --fields username,password"

    FYI adding " --format=json" for item list and "-" for item get are both key.

  • Hey @Julian88Tex ,

    Thank you for sharing that info!

    We have an upcoming feature to make the - optional. Mind you, the --format=json will still be required in the preceding command.

    While the - is convention to replace an arg, we felt that forgoing it for ease of use could be a better experience. Interested to hear your opinions on this, if you have any!

    @Justin.Yoon_1P totally makes sense and yes I think that would be a nice feature. Anything to make it simpler. I'd also say making that example I linked to in docs more prominent may be helpful to others in the future as well.

    Also adding a few examples of using commands within other commands could be useful: "mycommand $(op read op://vault/item/password)"

  • Thanks, we will keep on improving our documentation!
