grpc-invoke

Grpc Invoke

This is a package for python grpc client like grpcurl.

As We know

grpc's work mode is generating client and server via proto file, But sometime we can't get the proto file.If you are facing the problem above, this tool may help you a lot.

Features

• you can do requests without any proto object

• you can request your grpc server like http

• you can use dictionary as your request data

• support stream

• support asyncio

• support tls

Getting Started

$ pip install grpc-invoke

from grpc_invoke.grpc_client import GrpcClient


with GrpcClient("localhost:50052", "Service", "method") as client:
    resp = client.invoke(data={"data": "hello"}, header={"auth": "fdfefsssdffdg"})
    print(resp)

Enjoy it!

Notice

You should enable your server reflection. what you have to do is:

server = grpc.server(futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=10))
hello_pb2_grpc.add_HelloServicer_to_server(Greeter(), server)


# start
SERVICE_NAMES = (
    hello_pb2.DESCRIPTOR.services_by_name['Hello'].full_name,
    reflection.SERVICE_NAME,
)
# enable reflection
reflection.enable_server_reflection(SERVICE_NAMES, server)

# done

server.add_insecure_port('[::]:50052')
server.start()
server.wait_for_termination()
SERVICE_NAMES = (
    hello_pb2.DESCRIPTOR.services_by_name['Hello'].full_name,
    reflection.SERVICE_NAME,
)
reflection.enable_server_reflection(SERVICE_NAMES, server)
