Pls also have a look https://github.com/digitalocean/doctl:

Flags:
  -t, --access-token string   API V2 access token
  -u, --api-url string        Override default API endpoint
  -c, --config string         Specify a custom config file (default "$HOME/.config/doctl/config.yaml")
      --context string        Specify a custom authentication context name
  -h, --help                  help for doctl
  -o, --output string         Desired output format [text|json] (default "text")

I do want a --no-header flag when listing instance, so I can do batch operation in bash shell easier.

I'd still love a CSV output as it's a much simpler format to work with in many scripts.

JSON output format would be great!

This change would be great, and would go miles towards more convenient migration to Vultr from competitors. Any movement since @relwell's PR? @optik-aper you mentioned govultr changes that superseded that PR, are those visible anywhere?

@Levilutz Sorry, somehow I missed this mention. The changes are in govultr so yeah, we can make this a priority seeing that there is so much demand. I'll try to get it in for the next minor release.

Any updates to this @optik-aper? It looks like we were very close to having this via #292 which was closed over a year ago. I'd like to transition to using the CLI but I won't be able to do that until the output can be parsed programmatically via JSON.

Many thanks!

@chrisdeeming It's my main focus at the moment and I'm almost done. The next release will support a --output json flag on all commands.
