# Your profile

> Read and replace your bento profile board and upload media from the terminal.

Your public author page can be a [bento profile](/community/profile) — a grid of blocks (bio, links, featured components, a "work with me" block, and more). The CLI lets you (or an agent acting with your key) read and rewrite that board as JSON.

<Warning>
  Profile commands require a real secret API key (`21st_sk_…`). Pass `--api-key`
  or set `API_KEY_21ST`.
</Warning>

## Read your board

```bash theme={null}
21st profile get           # print the board as content blocks
21st profile get --json    # machine-readable
```

## Replace your board

```bash theme={null}
21st profile set --file board.json   # replace from a JSON file
cat board.json | 21st profile set    # or pipe via stdin
21st profile set --clear             # revert to the classic (non-bento) profile
```

`profile set` replaces the whole board with the blocks array you provide. Use `profile get --json` first to see the current shape, edit it, then set it back.

## Upload media

```bash theme={null}
21st profile upload ./avatar.png
```

Uploads a `png`, `jpg`, `jpeg`, `gif`, or `webp` and prints the resulting URL, which you can drop into an image block's `mediaUrl` before calling `profile set`.

<Tip>
  Because the board is plain JSON in and out, an AI agent holding your API key can
  manage your profile for you — read the board, add a "featured component" or
  "work with me" block, and set it back. See [Bento profile](/community/profile).
