What is the Delphi Command-Line Interface?

The Delphi CLI is a tool to access the data on the Delphi platform. It enables you to search for items matching a query or to inspect a dataset for an item in detail. It can be used in an automated context to automatically construct fitting item sets.

How does it work?

The Delphi CLI checks the provided query and passes it on to the web API of the configured platform. The results are printed to the console by default.

How do I run Delphi CLI?

$ git clone https://github.com/delphi-hub/delphi-cli.git
$ cd delphi-cli/
$ sbt stage
$ cd target/universal/stage/bin
$ ./delphi [command] [options]

For the different commands and options, see How can I use it?

How can I use it?

The Delphi CLI is running on the Java Virtual Machine. We require a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in version 8 or newer.

Our software is available as a binary release on GitHub.

$ delphi --help
Delphi Command Line Tool (0.9.5-SNAPSHOT)
Usage: delphi-cli [test|features|retrieve|search] [options] <args>...

  --version                Prints the version of the command line tool.
  --help                   Prints this help text.
  --server <value>         The url to the Delphi server
  --raw                    Output the raw results
  --silent                 Suppress non-result output

By default the command-line tool uses the official Delphi server at https://delphi.cs.uni-paderborn.de to process queries. You can override this setting using the --server option or by setting the DELPHI_SERVER environment variable.
