Clients

These command-line tools are exercised against the current sparqld binary whenever this documentation is built.

SPARQL clients

  • sq Recommended

    sq -e http://127.0.0.1:7737/ graphs

    Use an endpoint URL directly, or configure the endpoint and prefixes for concise repeated queries.

  • Apache Jena rsparql

    rsparql --service http://127.0.0.1:7737/ --query query.rq

    Sends a query file through Jena's SPARQL Protocol client.

  • Comunica

    comunica-sparql sparql@http://127.0.0.1:7737/ -f query.rq

    The sparql@ prefix identifies the source as an endpoint without requiring Service Description discovery.

  • RDFLib sparqlquery

    sparqlquery http://127.0.0.1:7737/ --queryfile query.rq

    Queries the endpoint with RDFLib's Python command-line client.

Direct HTTP tools

  • curl

    Send SPARQL Protocol requests directly over HTTP. See the curl examples for GET and POST request forms.
