Meltano

Is there a way to get a list of available extractors from the command line?
Searching the internet I found references to a `discover` command, which the newest Meltano seems not to have anymore.

Hi <@U07ALJQL7A5>! Yeah, `discover` used to do exactly that, but IIRC it got removed because no-one was really using it (or only using it to check Hub status, which is still possible via `hub ping`). What is your use-case?

FWIW, there is this related GitHub issue: <https://github.com/meltano/meltano/issues/7657>

My use case is that it is hard to get a "list of things" (overview) from a web page.
Scrolling a paginated web page sucks and I always have the feeling I overlooked one of those damn icons.
` melanto discover extrators|grep -i jira` would have be the expected flow of work for me.

I just find it strange that a CLI centric tool removed this command.

But thanks for the answer. At least I dont have to search further. I thought the `discover` command was moved into an other commands (as option)

Is this just a preferred way of working thing, or are you trying to use it in a script? I can't say I support the removal of functionality necessarily, but now I just use the Hub search in browser if I'm looking for a specific plugin.

I think `meltano hub get [extractors|loaders|...]` would be a nice API, if it were to be added back.

Just a preferred way of working. Or since I'm new to Meltano I assumed this can be done by CLI.

Fair enough, can't fault that. :sweat_smile:

`get` is misleading; I would rather suggest `meltano hub search [--extrators|--loaders]`  could be a kind of fuzz search.

Hey, thanks for bringing up the subject! I'm all for improving the CLI experience for interacting with the Hub. I think the biggest blocker for this sort of thing is the fact that the Hub API is currently static so there's no way, for example, to POST a search request.

What about `meltano hub list [--extractors|--loaders|...]`, which you could then pipe to `grep` as in your above example?
