Speedtest® CLI
Internet connection measurement for developers
Speedtest CLI brings the trusted technology and global server network behind Speedtest to the command line. Built for software developers, system administrators and computer enthusiasts alike, Speedtest CLI is the first official Linux-native Speedtest application backed by Ookla®.
With Speedtest CLI, you can easily:
- Measure internet connection performance metrics like download, upload, latency and packet loss natively without relying on a web browser
- Test the internet connection of your Linux desktop, a remote server or even lower-powered devices such as the Raspberry Pi® with the Speedtest Server Network™
- Set up automated scripts to collect connection performance data, including trends over time
- Use Speedtest in your programs by wrapping it in the programming language of your choice
- View test results via CSV, JSONL or JSON
