TYPO3 Extension 'coreapi'

The EXT:coreapi should provide a simple to use API for common core features. Goal is to be able to do the most common tasks by CLI instead of doing it in the backend/browser.

Beside of CLI commands, EXT:coreapi provides service classes, which can be used in your own implementation/extension.

CLI call:

Make sure you have a backend user called _cli_lowlevel

If you want to use the cache clearing commands, you need to add the following snippet to the TSconfig field of this backend user:

options.clearCache.all=1
options.clearCache.pages=1

TYPO3 4.7+

If you are using TYPO3 4.7+, you can use the awesome CommandController of Extbase.

This will show you all available calls ./typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh extbase help

TYPO3 4.6 and below

If you are using 4.5 or 4.6, you can still use the extension with a call like ./typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh coreapi cache:clearallcaches
