View and update your organisation's billing details — the legal name, postal address, country, tax registration and invoice reference printed in the Bill To block of your invoices — directly from the command line.

Show current details

reis billing:details

Prints every field plus whether the identity is invoice-ready. Add --output json for machine-readable output.

Update details

reis billing:details:update \
  --entity_type company \
  --legal_name "Acme Trading LLC" \
  --email "accounts@acme.example" \
  --address_line1 "Office 402, Al Majaz Tower" \

  --tax_id_type trn \
  --registration_number 1234567 \

Only the flags you pass change — everything else keeps its current value, so a quick correction is a one-flag command:

reis billing:details:update --billing_reference PO-2027-118
