beth.sh

What is it?

beth.sh supports (a part of) Ethereum JSON-RPC in terminal for zsh and bash. Focus is on portability, (nearly) no dependencies and ease of use. I wanted an easy and ergonomic way to query some data.

What is supported?

Supported are read-only RPCs, excluding filters, tx signing and that kind of stuff.

Installation

The dependencies are curl and jq, some fairly widespread UNIX tools. Just do

Bash

cd && curl -sLJO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/web3p/beth/main/.beth.sh && echo 'source "$HOME/.beth.sh"' >> .bashrc && source .bashrc

Zsh

cd && curl -sLJO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/web3p/beth/main/.beth.sh && echo 'source "$HOME/.beth.sh"' >> .zshrc && source .zshrc

That's it. You can now enter eth_ and press TAB in you terminal to see the supported RPCs.

Configuration

Per default https://cloudflare-eth.com is used. In order to use another node just set the ETH_RPC_URL variable, e.g.:

ETH_RPC_URL=https://my-node-endpoint.xyz/geth/

You can also inject auth headers into the requests. This is useful if your node is behind some reverse proxy for authentication. Just set either ETH_RPC_AUTH_BASIC or ETH_RPC_AUTH_BEARER, e.g.:

ETH_RPC_AUTH_BASIC=dGg..........Mg==

Examples

Some of these examples use jq for JSON processing in the terminal.

# Get current block number

# Get current block excluding transactions and pretty-print
eth_get_block_by_number latest false | jq .

# Show the 10 transactions of the most recent block containing the highest value in gwei
eth_get_block_by_number true | jq '.transactions[].value' | 2dec | sort -nr | 2gwei | head -n10
