Install and wire up your shell — one command

On zsh (the macOS default), --zsh does everything: window title, right-prompt segment, and a sponsored MOTD on every new shell.

npm install -g deals-dev
deals-dev setup --key dd_live_xxxxxxxx --zsh

It adds one clearly-marked block to ~/.zshrc — delete the block to uninstall.

Other shells — add the placements yourself

# ~/.bashrc
PROMPT_COMMAND='deals-dev title'
PS1="$PS1\$(deals-dev prompt) "
deals-dev motd

# ~/.config/fish/config.fish
function fish_right_prompt
    deals-dev prompt
end
if status is-interactive
    deals-dev motd
end

# ~/.config/starship.toml (optional)
[custom.deals]
command = "deals-dev prompt --plain"
when = true
style = "dimmed white"

Verify

Open a new terminal — you should see the MOTD banner, the sponsor in your window title, and the prompt segment. Cmd/ctrl+click the line in OSC8-capable terminals (or run deals-dev open) to open the sponsor — clicks pay 50×.

  -H "Authorization: Bearer dd_live_xxxxxxxx"

# -> { "ad": { "impressionId": "...", "adLine": "Ramp · save time and money",
#              "brandName": "Ramp", "url": "https://ramp.com",
#              "clickUrl": "https://deals.dev/r/<impressionId>" } }

Display it, then confirm

Show ad.adLine in your spinner for a full 5 seconds, then:

curl -X POST https://deals.dev/api/v1/events \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dd_live_xxxxxxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"events":[{"type":"impression","impressionId":"<impressionId>"}]}'
