Sparql-cli

A command line SPARQL console. Works with endpoints as a well as local/remote graphs.

Status

Prototype. Runs but largely untested.

How-to

Suggested:

• Install via python setup.py install then call sparql-cli

Otherwise, you can run in dev mode:

• get to the source top folder and run python -m sparql-cli.main -h

Summary

This is an attempt to build a sparql console using python-prompt toolkit

Idea: either pass a sparql endpoint / or a graph URI which is loaded in memory using RDFLib = useful to test things out quickly!

REQUIREMENTS

• click
• colorama
• rdflib
• pygments

@todo

• export results as html / web
• allow passing an endpoint @done
• add more saved queries
• store endpoints? eg via an extra command line
• add meta level cli eg .show or .info etc..
• namespaces and shortened URIs

Note

This tool relies on pygments for the syntax highlighting, however the current Sparql Lexer included in Pygments stable releases is broken (https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/pygments-main/issues/1236/sparql-lexer-error) hence you either have to update it from the dev branch or wait for the 2.2 release of Sparql Lexer.
