Accessing local google datastore via shell when running datastore emulator

Question

I'm using Google Datastore Emulator (which is using gRPC) and am able to do datastore operations via a Node.js application.

Is there a way to access my local datastore using a shell or browser? I am looking for something similar to mongod or a GQL-browser console.

I have tried localhost:8172/datastore, localhost:8172/console - but it didn't help.

Answer 1

No, the gRPC emulator doesn't have an interface outside of the API.

The Cloud Datastore emulator that ships as part of App Engine's local emulator does have a HTTP console.
