CLI tool

Currently working commands:

• iate list-collections

• iate inventories list-primarities
• iate inventories list-query-operators

Filtering

It's suggested to use the jq to filter the responses on the command line.

For example, only select official languages:

iate inventories list-languages | jq '[.[] | select(.is_official == true)] | length'
