Authentication

Before any DingTalk operation, verify auth status first:

dws auth status --format json

If authenticated is false, start the login flow. This environment has no browser (Docker/SSH), so always use the device flow:

dws auth login --device

The command outputs an authorization URL, then waits with the prompt Waiting for user authorization. At this point:

Show the authorization URL to the user
Ask the user to open the URL in a browser or DingTalk mobile app to complete authorization
The command will automatically detect the authorization and proceed

To force re-login (e.g. token expired):

dws auth login --device --force

When Unsure About a Command

Always check --help before guessing parameters.

dws --help
dws <product> --help
dws <product> <command> --help

Examples:

dws chat --help
dws calendar event list --help
dws aitable record --help
