{{}} About cardano-wallet
Cardano-wallet comes with a command-line interface that can be used as a quick alternative to cURL or wget to interact with a server running on localhost. Every endpoint of the API is mapped to a corresponding command which often offers a better user experience than directly interacting with the API as a human (API are for programs, command-lines are for humans).
For example, restoring a wallet goes normally through POST /byron-wallets, or can be done interactively with
$ cardano-wallet wallet create MyWalletThe command line also provides some useful helpers like a command to generate mnemonic sentences, or doing key derivation. For more details, see the wallet command-line user manual. {{}}
