CLI Authentication
Use the litellm cli to authenticate to the LiteLLM Gateway. This is great if you're trying to give a large number of developers self-serve access to the LiteLLM Gateway.
Demo​
Usage​
-
Install the CLI
If you have uv installed, you can try this:
uv tool install 'litellm[proxy]'
If that works, you'll see something like this:
...
Installed 2 executables: litellm, litellm-proxyand now you can use the tool by just typing
litellm-proxy
in your terminal:litellm-proxy
-
Set up environment variables
export LITELLM_PROXY_URL=http://localhost:4000
(Replace with your actual proxy URL)
-
Login
litellm-proxy login
This will open a browser window to authenticate. If you have connected LiteLLM Proxy to your SSO provider, you should be able to login with your SSO credentials. Once logged in, you can use the CLI to make requests to the LiteLLM Gateway.
-
Make a test request to view models
litellm-proxy models list
This will list all the models available to you.
