A client CLI utility for Datasette instances
Project description
dclient
A client CLI utility for Datasette instances.
Much of the functionality requires Datasette 1.0a2 or higher.
Things you can do with dclient
- Run SQL queries against Datasette and returning the results as JSON
- Run queries against authenticated Datasette instances
- Create aliases and store authentication tokens for convenient access to Datasette
- Insert data into Datasette using the insert API (Datasette 1.0 alpha or higher)
Installation
Install this tool using pip
:
pip install dclient
If you want to install it in the same virtual environment as Datasette (to use it as a plugin) you can instead run:
datasette install dclient
Running a query
dclient query https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures "select * from facetable limit 1"
To shorten that, create an alias:
dclient alias add fixtures https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures
Then run it like this instead:
dclient query fixtures "select * from facetable limit 1"
Documentation
