triviaapi2-cli

triviaapi2

A command line for triviaapi2.

triviaapi2 is a single pure-Go binary. It reads public triviaapi2 data over plain HTTPS, shapes it into clean records, and prints output that pipes into the rest of your tools. No API key, nothing to run alongside it.

The same package is also a resource-URI driver, so a host program like ant can address triviaapi2 as triviaapi2:// URIs.

Install

go install github.com/tamnd/triviaapi2-cli/cmd/triviaapi2@latest

Or grab a prebuilt binary from the releases, or run the container image:

docker run --rm ghcr.io/tamnd/triviaapi2:latest --help

Usage

triviaapi2 page <path>                      # fetch one page as a record
triviaapi2 page <path> -o json              # as JSON, ready for jq
triviaapi2 page <path> --template '{{.Body}}'  # just the readable body text
triviaapi2 links <path>                     # the pages it links to, one per line
triviaapi2 --help                           # the whole command tree

Every command shares one output contract: -o table|json|jsonl|csv|tsv|url|raw, --fields to pick columns, --template for a custom line, and -n to limit. The default adapts to where output goes (a table on a terminal, JSONL in a pipe), so the same command reads well by hand and parses cleanly downstream.

This is a fresh scaffold. It ships one example resource type, page, wired end to end. Model the real triviaapi2 records in triviaapi2/ and declare their operations in triviaapi2/domain.go; each one becomes a command, an HTTP route, and an MCP tool at once.

Serve it

The same operations are available over HTTP and as an MCP tool set for agents, with no extra code:

triviaapi2 serve --addr :7777    # GET /v1/page/<path>  returns NDJSON
triviaapi2 mcp                   # speak MCP over stdio

Use it as a resource-URI driver

triviaapi2 registers a triviaapi2 domain the way a program registers a database driver with database/sql. A host enables it with one blank import:

import _ "github.com/tamnd/triviaapi2-cli/triviaapi2"

Then ant (or any program that links the package) dereferences triviaapi2:// URIs without knowing anything about triviaapi2:

ant get triviaapi2://page/<path>   # fetch the record
ant cat triviaapi2://page/<path>   # just the body text
ant ls  triviaapi2://page/<path>   # the pages it links to, each addressable
ant url triviaapi2://page/<path>   # the live https URL

Development

Releasing

Push a version tag and GitHub Actions runs GoReleaser, which builds the archives, Linux packages, the multi-arch GHCR image, checksums, SBOMs, and a cosign signature:

git tag v0.1.0
git push --tags

The Homebrew and Scoop steps self-disable until their tokens exist, so the first release works with no extra secrets.
