Rest!sh CLI

The restish project is a general purpose api client for the command line. To make accessing the data easier, Snowman's api is compatible with restish's interface.

Getting started

As a first step, follow restish's getting started guide to install a recent version of the software.

Afterwards, start your local snowman instance - by default, its api will then be available at http://localhost:8123.

Run the following command to get a brief overview:

restish localhost:8123 --help

Now, (almost) every api functionality can be accessed as easily as:

restish localhost:8123 <function> -q <parameter>
