Hi thank you for your reply! I don't need houdini to read data over time. I need the command line to change a pre-existing parameter in the project and then render. sorry if my question is unclear. There is an int channel in this project that is controlling variation of the design. I want to render with a command line in a flexible way so I can do
Okay, I do a lot of command line professionally and privately. That includes advanced networking between countries and in cities. However, for the case you described I don’t recommend going command line especially not for artists.
The term data in this regard is the same as a parameter value. It is not instructions nor any output.
If you want to learn how to interact with Houdini from a shell window here is the link to the official docs [www.sidefx.com]. Enjoy!

I could not find much help in the documentation
I found out how to do what I need
hython -c "import hou; hou.hipFile.load('C:/Users/Paul/Desktop/test.hiplc'); node = hou.node('/obj/in'); channel = node.parm('col'); channel.set(1.66); print('Value of col parameter:', channel.eval()); hou.hipFile.save('C:/Users/Paul/Desktop/test/test_modified.hiplc', save_to_recent_files=False)"
