Local Scout data

Scout stores local runs, fetched pages, entries, article records, and profile settings on this computer.

Database Path

scout db path

Use this when you need to back up local results or confirm which database a script is using.

Inspect recent local state:

scout runs list
scout pages list --limit 20
scout entries stats
scout articles status

Local results are not automatically synced to Atlas. Use sync only after review.

Profiles keep laptop, workstation, and test settings separate:

scout config profiles
scout config create-profile studio
scout config use-profile studio
scout --profile studio run https://example.org

Profile files store non-secret settings. Login tokens and saved search keys use the operating system credential store.

Resetting deletes local runs, entries, pages, and article records:

scout db reset

Use reset only when you no longer need the local results.
