DZDK CLI for Dzaleka Online Services

The DZDK CLI is a community-maintained command-line tool for working with public Dzaleka Online Services data from a terminal or script.

Install

The CLI is published on PyPI and needs Python 3.8 or newer:

pip install dzdk

Check it is working:

dzdk health

That reports the status and response time of each public endpoint.

What it is for

Use the CLI when you want to:

• inspect public collections quickly
• test API responses from the terminal
• export data for reporting or analysis
• script repeatable checks against the public API

Commands

Examples
