Cosmos CLI

The Cosmos CLI is a simple command-line tool that provides useful commands to get information about various resources in the Cosmos Blockchain ecosystem.

Installation

First ensure that you have a fairly recent version of rust/cargo installed. Then, execute the following command in your shell:

$ cargo install cosmos-cli

Usage

To get information about the available commands, run:

$ cosmos_cli --help

Cosmos CLI

Usage: cosmos-cli [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

Commands:
  info       Get information about resources in the Cosmos ecosystem
  list       List resources in the Cosmos ecosystem
  astroport  Get information about Astroport resources
  help       Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
  -o, --output <OUTPUT>  Output format [default: plain] [possible values: plain, json]
  -h, --help             Print help
  -V, --version          Print version

To get the list of all chains in the Cosmos ecosystem:

$ cosmos-cli list chains

8ball
acrechain
agoric
aioz
...

To get the result formatted as JSON, use the --output parameter:

$ cosmos-cli --output json list chains

["8ball","acrechain","agoric","aioz","akash","akiro", "andromeda","andromeda1", ... ,"xpla","zetachain"]

The JSON-formatted output is very handy when combined with jq.

The output will be formatted as a table for the info command. As an example, to display information about the CosmosHub's ATOM token:

$ cosmos-cli info asset cosmoshub atom

+--------------+--------------+
| base         | uatom        |
+--------------+--------------+
| coingecko_id | cosmos       |
+--------------+--------------+
| decimals     | 0            |
+--------------+--------------+
| display      | atom         |
+--------------+----------+---+
...
