# Browse documentation in the terminal

Use the Stripe CLI to read the Stripe documentation and API reference inside your terminal.

For more details, see the [Stripe CLI reference](https://docs.stripe.com/cli/docs).

The `stripe docs` command lets you read the Stripe documentation and API reference without opening a browser. Run it with a path to read a specific page, or use the `api` and `search` subcommands.

Install the [Stripe CLI](https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-cli/install.md) version 1.43.3 or later.

```bash
stripe docs /payments
stripe docs api customers
stripe docs search "payment methods"
```

For the full command reference, including all flags, output formats, and examples for use with coding agents, see the [CLI reference](https://docs.stripe.com/cli/docs).
