Setup Sandbox

Setup Sandbox

Create the folder structure for the connected account's organizations and artists.

Environment

• RECOUP_ACCOUNT_ID — The account ID to fetch data for. Only needed when using an Org API Key. When using a Personal API Key, omit the --account flag and the CLI will use the authenticated account automatically.

Steps

1. Check if RECOUP_ACCOUNT_ID is set. If set, use --account $RECOUP_ACCOUNT_ID on all CLI commands below. If not set, omit the --account flag.
2. Run recoup orgs list --json [--account $RECOUP_ACCOUNT_ID] to get all organizations
3. For each organization, run recoup artists list --org {organization_id} --json [--account $RECOUP_ACCOUNT_ID] to get its artists
4. Create the folder structure and a RECOUP.md marker in each artist folder:
   • Use artistSlug from the CLI response as the exact directory name — never append UUIDs, IDs, or suffixes
   • If orgs/{org}/artists/{artist-slug}/ already exists, skip it
   • mkdir -p orgs/{org}/artists/{artist-slug} for each new artist
   • Write a RECOUP.md using the template below
5. Commit and push:
   • git add -A && git commit -m "setup: create org and artist folders" && git push origin main

RECOUP.md

Every artist directory has a RECOUP.md at its root. This is the identity file — it connects the workspace to the Recoupable platform. The existence of this file means the workspace is active.

Fill it with data from the CLI response:

---artistName: {Artist Name}artistSlug: {artist-slug}artistId: {uuid-from-recoupable}---

Fields:

• artistName — display name from the CLI (e.g. Gatsby Grace)
• artistSlug — lowercase-kebab-case folder name (e.g. gatsby-grace)
• artistId — the UUID from Recoup
