Frequently Asked Questions

Can I embed the asciicast player on my blog?

Yes, see embedding docs.

How can I delete my asciicast?

In order to delete your asciicast you need to associate your local API token (which was assigned to the recorded asciicast) with the asciinema.org account. Just run asciinema auth in your terminal and open the printed URL in your browser. Once you sign in you'll see a "Delete" link on your asciicast's page.

Can I have my own asciinema site instance?

Yes, you can set up your own asciinema site. The source code of the app that runs asciinema.org is available here.

When you have the site up and running you can easily tell asciinema client to use it by adding following setting to ~/.asciinema/config file:

[api]
url = http://asciinema.example.com

Alternatively, you can set ASCIINEMA_API_URL env variable:

ASCIINEMA_API_URL=http://asciinema.example.com asciinema rec

Can I edit/post-process the recorded asciicast?

Yes, if you know how to deal with ansi escape sequences. Asciicasts are self-contained JSON files which you can edit before uploading. Look at stdout attribute in asciicast format doc for inspiration.
