## resources

Resource commands make API requests using the CLI for a given resource. The Stripe CLI has commands to interact with all types of Stripe API resources.

A complete list of available resources and examples are included in the
[API Reference Guide](/api). Select **Stripe CLI** from the language dropdown to see a complete example for each resource.

Use the `help` command on any resource to see what operations you can perform. For example, run `stripe customers --help` to see help for the [Customers](/api/customers) resource.

Use `stripe resources` to see a complete list of available resources.

> All commands support making live requests with the `--live` flag.

**Command:** `stripe {resource command}`
