rime curl

Generate a ready-to-run curl command for the Rime TTS API.

Generate a curl command for making TTS API requests. The generated command uses $(rime key) as a shell expression, so it resolves your API key automatically when you paste and run it. Run without arguments to see an example.

rime curl [TEXT]

If you provide text, --speaker and --model-id are required. With no arguments, the command generates an example request.
