MIMIRO Data Hub CLI - mim

The MIMIRO Data Hub CLI, known as mim, provides command line control over a MIMIRO data hub instance or any Universal Data Specification (UDA) compliant endpoint.

The mim client can be used to script and interact with MIMIRO to create datasets, load data, register jobs, test and execute transforms and queries.

mim provides an extensive set of command help that can be accessed by typing:

mim help 

and for specific commands:

mim help COMMAND 

e.g.

mim help datasets

More documentation on use can be found in the MIMIRO data hub docs.

Build

Requires Go.

make mim

Installation

Use make mim to produce a binary in bin/mim. It is recommended to add the bin folder to your system's PATH so that the mim command is globally available.

Releases

If you want a pre-built binary then this can be obtained from the releases page. Download the correct version, make sure it is renamed to mim locally, and that it is on the path.

Connecting

mim can be used to connect to the MIMIRO data hub, MIMIRO data layers or any other UDA compliant endpoint.

It is recommended to create an alias for each distinct service endpoint you want to connect to. To setup and connection to a local unsecured MIMIRO data hub instance create the following login alias:

mim login add --alias local --server http://localhost:8080 --type unsecured

To see all registered aliases and where they connect to use:

mim login ls

To connect to a service that has been secured with JWT tokens there are two options, either providing the JWT token as part of the alias definition or configuring OAuth authentication. This will depend on the service and you should check with the service documentation on how to connect.

Configuring to use a token directly:

mim login add --alias server1 \ 
              --server="https://my.datahub.server" \
              --token="<valid token>" 

Configuring to use an OAuth Token provider:

mim login add
       --alias local \
       --server "https://datahubapi.example.io" \
       --clientId "<valid clientId>" \
       --clientSecret "<valid clientSecret>" \
       --authorizer "https://auth.example.io/oauth/token" \
       --audience "https://datahubapi.example.io"

An OAuth configured alias will (re)authenticate and retrieve a token when needed.
