Solr Command Line Interface (solrcli) is a text based user interface to submit queries to Solr directly from a Linux terminal.

Technically you can do anything that this tool does via cURL commands, but at times crafting the right cURL command for a Solr query (with all the different encoding options) can be trick. With solrcli you just enter the Solr parameters as you would in the native "Solr Admin" web page and execute them.

This is a work in progress in very early stages.

Compiling

git clone https://github.com/hectorcorrea/solrcli.git
go get
go build
./solrcli http://localhost:8983/solr/your-core

Running

When running it more or less looks like this:

./solrcli http://localhost:8983/solr/your-core

solrcli
http://localhost:8983/solr/your-core
run  - execute query
show - show current values for query
help - view available options
quit - to quit (also CTRL+C)
==============================================================================
>  run

2020/02/20 16:24:30 Solr HTTP GET: http://localhost:8983/solr/your-core/select?q=%2A&defType=edismax&debug=false&
{
	"responseHeader": {
		"status": 0,
		"QTime": 0,
		"params": {
			"q": "*",
			"defType": "edismax",
			"debug": "false"
		}
	},
	"response": {
		"numFound": 4296,
		"start": 0,
		"docs": [
            ...
        ]
    }
}

Setting the Solr values to use (e.g. q, fl, defType) is done via assignments (x=y) and you can execute the Solr query via the run command. For example

> q=id:123
> fl=id, title_display
> run

Executable

If you don't care about the source code, download the executable for your operating system, and follow the instructions on Release tab.
