AEM (Edge Delivery Services)

Shell command for AEM Edge Delivery Services. Manages EDS page content.

Authentication

Run oauth-token adobe to authenticate (auto-triggered on first use). No manual configuration needed — no client IDs, no service tokens.

Usage

aem <command> <eds-url-or-path> [options]

All commands accept full EDS URLs: https://main--repo--org.aem.page/path Or use --org/--repo flags with a plain path.

Commands

• aem list <url> — List pages in a directory
• aem get <url> [--output <vfs-path>] — Get page HTML
• aem put <url> <vfs-file> — Write HTML from a VFS file
• aem preview <url> — Trigger AEM preview
• aem publish <url> — Trigger AEM publish
• aem upload <vfs-file> <url> — Upload a media file
• aem help — Show usage

Typical Workflow

For editing a page, follow this sequence:

1. Get — Fetch the current page HTML:

   aem get https://main--myrepo--myorg.aem.page/page --output /workspace/page.html

2. Edit — Modify /workspace/page.html as needed.
3. Put — Write the updated HTML back. Verify the command exits successfully (exit code 0) before continuing:

   aem put https://main--myrepo--myorg.aem.page/page /workspace/page.html

4. Preview — Trigger a preview and confirm the response indicates success:

   aem preview https://main--myrepo--myorg.aem.page/page

5. Verify — Optionally re-fetch the page (aem get) or inspect the preview URL to confirm the changes appear correctly.
6. Publish — Once the preview looks correct, publish:

   aem publish https://main--myrepo--myorg.aem.page/page

Error guidance:

• If aem put fails, check that the VFS file path is correct and the file is valid HTML before retrying.
• If aem preview or aem publish fails, re-run the command — transient network issues are common. If it continues to fail, verify authentication with oauth-token adobe.
• Always confirm aem put succeeds before running aem preview to avoid publishing stale content.
