Environment Variables

consumo supports environment variables for configuration. The order of priority goes like this: configuration file -> CLI flags -> environment variables -> program defaults.

General

CONSUMO_SORT

Equivalent to the --sort flag of the commands. Determines whether the output will be sorted by duration in ascending order.

CONSUMO_WPM

Equivalent to the --words-per-minute flag of the commands. Determines the reading speed in words per minute.

CONSUMO_SKIP_ERRORS

Equivalent to the --skip-errors flag of the commands. Determines whether to show zero seconds for arguments that otherwise would make the program exit with an error.

CONSUMO_CACHE

Equivalent to the --cache flag of the commands. Determines whether to cache results in a database for later reuse.

URL

CONSUMO_DEPTH

Equivalent to the --depth flag of the url command. Determines how many levels to recursively follow URLs on the page. It is recommended that one pairs it with skip_errors at high levels, as the availability of unvisited URLs is unknown (as in, you can't know if you can follow a URL if you haven't clicked it).
