CLI

Install the published HeadlessX CLI, log in, and use the same operator API from the terminal.

The published HeadlessX CLI package is:

package: @headlessx-cli/core
command: headlessx

It talks to the same backend API used by the dashboard, so it can reuse the same operator surfaces and the same persistent browser state managed by the API runtime.

Redis is only needed for crawl

Website scrape, map, Google AI Search, Tavily, Exa, and YouTube commands do not need Redis. Queue-backed crawl commands still require Redis plus the worker, because they call the same /api/operators/website/crawl backend workflow as the dashboard.
