Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
<br>
I made a first version of a command line interface for Rudder API.<br>
I am calling for comments on it before it becomes a stable command
included with Rudder.<br>
<br>
You can find it here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/peckpeck/rudder-api-client">https://github.com/peckpeck/rudder-api-client</a><br>
<br>
Here is how it works: I first made a python library that is a simple
mapping of the API (auto generated from the documentation).<br>
This means that you can use it in your python code.<br>
I then created a command line in python that uses it with almost the
same named ans parameters.<br>
<br>
For now, you will have to clone the repo to use it for now. The full
steps are in the README.md. There are little dependencies (python 2
or 3, docopt and requests)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The command line is build on git model, with commands and
subcommands. Here is an example usage :<br>
rudder-cli node list_pending<br>
rudder-cli node accept fb1d6f5a-0929-4f18-a574-7b37febc2896<br>
<br>
The command accept singular and plural form for the subcommand name.<br>
<br>
If you want to use json instead of arguments to pass parameters, you
can add a -j option '-j -' will read from stdin.<br>
JSON overrides command line parameters (wich in turn override
configuration file parameters). This allow you to use your preferred
form of call.<br>
<br>
<br>
Finally for missing commands or for debugging the API, you can use
this subcommand:<br>
rudder-cli api GET /api/nodes<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I hope you will like it, but whether you like it or not, please tell
me what you you think so that we can get the best of this cli.<br>
<br>
