grpc-curl is a command line tool for interacting with gRPC servers. This tool is the .NET equivalent of the popular gRPCurl written in Golang.

NOTE: grpc-curl doesn't not support yet all the features that gRPCurl is providing.

Usage

./grpc-curl --json -d "{""getStatus"":{}}" 192.168.100.1:9200 SpaceX.API.Device.Device/Handle

Will print the following result:

Usage API

The functionality of grpc-curl is also accessible through the NuGet package DynamicGrpc.

var channel = GrpcChannel.ForAddress("http://192.168.100.1:9200");
// Fetch reflection data from server
var client = await DynamicGrpcClient.FromServerReflection(channel);

// Call the method `Handle` on the service `SpaceX.API.Device.Device`
var result = await client.AsyncUnaryCall("SpaceX.API.Device.Device", "Handle", new Dictionary<string, object>()
{
    { "get_status", new Dictionary<string, object>() }
});

Features

• Build on top of the DynamicGrpc library available as a separate NuGet package.
• DynamicGrpc supports all the kind of gRPC calls (unary blocking, unary async, streaming, full-duplex...)
• grpc-curl supports only blocking/async method for now (streaming should follow)
• Support for plain Protocol Buffers naming conventions or JSON.

Binaries

If you have dotnet 6.0 installed, you can install this tool via NuGet:

dotnet tool install --global grpc-curl --version 1.0.0

Debian and macOS packages for x64/am64 will be released later.
