bird esim orders create

Usage

Ejemplo de código
bird esim orders create [flags]

Description

Order a data package

Purchase an eSIM data package. Without esim_id a new eSIM is provisioned with the package; with esim_id the package is added to that eSIM. The order locks the offer's price at creation. Inspect status even on HTTP 201: the order can be completed or failed. On HTTP 202, poll until completed or failed. Omit delivery; after completion use bird esim credentials deliver to send install credentials to the traveler.

Build the request from flags, a JSON EsimOrderCreate body via --body-file ("-" reads stdin), or both — a flag overrides the matching body field. Run --example to print a ready-to-edit body, or --dry-run to print the resolved request without sending it.

Browser confirmation: the review link goes to stderr, not stdout, as next[].url in a JSON line that also carries confirmation_id. The command then waits and prints the result on stdout; --confirmation-id waits on an existing one.

Procedure

Step 5 of 8 of "Buy and install an eSIM data package". Previous: bird esim offers requirements. Next: bird esim orders get.

Examples

Ejemplo de código
# print the body shape (no credentials needed)
bird esim orders create --example

# the body it prints:
Ejemplo de código
{
  "display_name": "Amsterdam trip, order 8812",
  "offer_id": "eof_01krdgeqcxet5s7t44vh8rt9mg"
}

Options

Request

NameDescription
--body-fileRead the JSON request body from this file; "-" reads stdin
--examplePrint a complete example request body, then exit
--dry-runPrint the resolved request without sending it, then exit
--idempotency-keyDeduplication key; a retry with the same key won't act twice

Options

NameDescription
--offer-idOffer to purchase. (required; or in --body-file)
--esim-idExisting eSIM to add the package to. Omit to provision a new eSIM.
--subscriber-idPerson to assign the new eSIM to when delivery completes. Must be a subscriber in this workspace. Omit to leave it unassigned. Supplying it with esim_id returns 422; top-ups retain the existing assignment. An unknown subscriber or one outside this workspace returns 404 before charging. Identification guidance does not gate purchase.
--offer-revision <n>The offer revision you are quoting from. When set and the offer has since moved to a newer revision, the order is refused with a conflict instead of charging a price you did not see. Omitted, the current revision is used.
--display-nameFree-text label for the new eSIM, for your own reference. Ignored when esim_id is set.
--tags <key=value>Tags for the new eSIM, echoed on its lifecycle webhook events. Ignored when esim_id is set.
--metadataYour own key-value data for the new eSIM, echoed on its lifecycle webhook events. Maximum 2 KB serialized. Ignored when esim_id is set.
--acknowledge-shortened-validitySet to true to accept a validity cut short by the eSIM's service period. Without it, an order whose package would expire early is refused with a conflict that states the effective validity.
--response-schemaPrint the fields this command returns, then exit
--confirmation-idWait for an existing confirmation of this exact request
