## β οΈ Major release with breaking changes
This is a major release that restructures the CLI command hierarchy to namespace **Synthetic** commands under `calibre synthetic`, and introduces **CrUX** `calibre crux`, and **RUM** `calibre rum` subcommands.
All existing functionality remains available, but some commands have moved to new locations. Deprecated aliases with warnings are provided for all moved commands to ensure a smooth transition.
### Command Restructuring
- All synthetic monitoring commands are moved from `calibre site <command>` to `calibre synthetic <command>`
- New top-level `calibre rum <command>` for Real User Metrics data
- New top-level `calibre crux <command>` for Chrome User Experience Report data
- Site settings and config commands remain under `calibre site`
- Deploys have been elevated to a top-level `calibre deploy <command>`, renaming `calibre site *-deploy` commands to `calibre deploy <command>`
- Synthetic `connection-list`, `device-list`, and `location-list` commands are now `calibre synthetic connections`, `calibre synthetic devices`, and `calibre synthetic locations` respectively
#### Unchanged
These commands remain exactly where they are:
- `calibre metrics-list`
- `calibre site list`
- `calibre site create`
- `calibre site delete`
- `calibre test create`
- `calibre test list`
- `calibre test show`
- `calibre test download-artifacts`
- `calibre team list`
- `calibre token set`
- `calibre token remove`
- `calibre request`

## π© New Commands
### `calibre rum` β Real User Metrics
Real User Session performance data collected from visitors on your website via the Calibre RUM snippet. Provides live visitor counts, aggregate web vitals, UX ratings, page-level breakdowns, and historical trends.
#### `calibre rum summary`
Display the RUM dashboard overview: live visitors, aggregate metrics, and UX ratings.
```
calibre rum summary --site=<slug> [options]
```
| Flag | Description |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `--site` | **(required)** The site slug |
| `--metrics` | Metrics to query (space-separated). Default: `lcp cls inp ttfb fcp rtt` |
| `--duration` | Number of days to aggregate. Default: `7` |
| `--date-bin` | Time granularity: `day` or `month`. Default: `day` |
| `--country` | Filter by country code(s) (space-separated, e.g. `AU US`) |
| `--device` | Filter by device type: `desktop`, `mobile`, `tablet` |
| `--connection` | Filter by connection type |
| `--path` | Filter by URL path(s) (space-separated) |
| `--page-grouping` | Filter by page grouping UUID(s) (space-separated) |
| `--json` | Output as JSON |
### Other RUM commands:
- `calibre rum history` - Display RUM historical trends over time
- `calibre rum pages` - Display page-level RUM metrics breakdown, sortable and paginated
- `calibre rum config` - Display the RUM configuration for a site
---
### `calibre crux` β Chrome User Experience Report
Field performance data sourced from real Chrome users (the Chrome User Experience Report). Provides origin-level and URL-level Core Web Vitals with historical trends.
- `calibre crux summary` - Display origin-level CrUX aggregate metrics and Core Web Vitals assessment for a site.
- `calibre crux history` - Display historical CrUX trends for a site with collection period data.
- `calibre crux urls` - List all CrUX-monitored URLs for a site
- `calibre crux url` - Display detailed CrUX data for a specific monitored URL, including metrics and history
---
## π© Enhancements
### `calibre site list`
Now shows monitoring status for each site indicating which data sources are active:
- **Synthetic** β scheduled Lighthouse tests
- **CrUX** β Chrome User Experience Report data
- **RUM** β Real User Metrics collection
The table output includes a new "Monitoring" column. JSON output includes a `monitoringStatus` object with `synthetic`, `crux`, and `rum`, which are null or report monitoring status warnings.
### `calibre metric-list`
Now accepts a `--type` flag to filter metrics by data source:
```
calibre metric-list # Defaults to synthetic metrics
calibre metric-list --type=synthetic # Synthetic metrics only
calibre metric-list --type=crux # CrUX metrics only
calibre metric-list --type=rum # RUM metrics only
```
As always, running `calibre --help` will show the full list of available commands and options. For more details on all commands, see [Calibreβs documentation](https://calibreapp.com/docs/automation/cli-commands).

## π Core
### Node.js API
New programmatic exports:
```javascript
import { Crux, Rum } from 'calibre'
// CrUX
const summary = await Crux.summary({ site: 'my-site', formFactor: 'PHONE' })
const history = await Crux.history({
site: 'my-site',
timePeriod: 'SIX_MONTHS'
})
const urls = await Crux.urls({ site: 'my-site' })
const urlDetail = await Crux.url({ site: 'my-site', uuid: '...' })
// RUM
const dashboard = await Rum.summary({
site: 'my-site',
metrics: ['lcp', 'cls', 'inp'],
duration: 7
})
const rumHistory = await Rum.history({
site: 'my-site',
metrics: ['lcp', 'cls', 'inp'],
duration: 30
})
const rumPages = await Rum.pages({
site: 'my-site',
metrics: ['lcp', 'cls', 'inp'],
sortBy: 'lcp',
limit: 50
})
const rumConfig = await Rum.config({ site: 'my-site' })
```
