# pingcli pingone api

Send a custom REST API request to the management API of PingOne.

## Synopsis

Send a custom REST API request to the management API of PingOne

The custom REST API request is most powerful when product connection details have been configured in the CLI configuration file.

The command offers a cURL-like experience to interact with the Ping products and services, with authentication and environment details dynamically filled by the CLI.

```
pingcli pingone api [flags] API_URI
```
