``sudo -H pip install https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/arky/archive/aip11.zip``

If you work with ``python3``

``sudo -H pip3 install https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/arky/archive/aip11.zip``

Windows
^^^^^^^

``pip install https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/arky/archive/aip11.zip``

REST API
========

``rest`` module allows developpers to send requests to the blockchain.

>>> import arky.rest
>>> arky.rest.use("ark")

It loads the ``ark.net`` file and create associated REST API endpoints.
All endpoints can be reached using this syntax :

``arky.rest.[METHOD].[endpoints with "/" replaced by "."](param=value, ...[returnKey=name])``

>>> # http equivalent [PEER ADDRESS]/api/delegates/get?username=arky
>>> arky.rest.GET.api.delegates.get(username="arky")
{'delegate': {'productivity': 99.22, 'producedblocks': 42283, 'approval': 1.06,
'rate': 19, 'publicKey': '030da05984d579395ce276c0dd6ca0a60140a3c3d964423a04e7ab
e110d60a15e9', 'username': 'arky', 'vote': '137484978342696', 'address': 'ARfDVW
Z7Zwkox3ZXtMQQY1HYSANMB88vWE', 'missedblocks': 334}, 'success': True}

It returns a python dictionary transposed from server json response. You can
provide a ``returnKey`` option value to get the field you want from server response :

>>> arky.rest.use("oxy")
>>> arky.rest.GET.api.delegates.get(username="toons", returnKey="delegate")
{'rate': 20, 'producedblocks': 1354, 'approval': 14.36, 'username': 'toons', 'ra
nk': 20, 'publicKey': 'c0f4e7fb7555fd19de2b6a9de92f02b44cef56c782ca0f6983607b7f4
e508ef9', 'productivity': 99.63, 'missedblocks': 5, 'vote': '1476176009882003',
'address': '15981732227677853647X'}

Blockchain ``core``
===================

``arky.rest.use`` loads a blockchain package find in ``*.net`` file as ``arky.core``.
Blockchain package define the current interface :

* ``arky.core.crypto.getKeys(secret)``
* ``arky.core.crypto.getAddress(publicKey)``
* ``arky.core.crypto.getSignature(tx, privateKey)``
* ``arky.core.crypto.getId(tx)``
* ``arky.core.crypto.getBytes(tx)``
* ``arky.core.crypto.bakeTransaction(**kw)``
* ``arky.core.sendTransaction(**kw)``
* ``arky.core.sendPayload(*payloads)``
* ``arky.core.sendToken(amount, recipientId, secret, secondSecret=None, vendorField=None)``
* ``arky.core.registerSecondPublicKey(secondPublicKey, secret, secondSecret=None)``
* ``arky.core.registerSecondPassphrase(secondPassphrase, secret, secondSecret=None)``
* ``arky.core.registerDelegate(username, secret, secondSecret=None)``
* ``arky.core.upVoteDelegate(usernames, secret, secondSecret=None)``
* ``arky.core.downVoteDelegate(usernames, secret, secondSecret=None)``

``arky.core`` create transaction localy using ``pynacl`` and ``ecdsa`` crypto libraries
so no secret is sent trough the network.

Send coins
^^^^^^^^^^

Amount are given in SATOSHI.

>>> arky.rest.use("toxy")
>>> arky.core.sendToken(amount=100000000, recipientId="15981732227677853647X",
... secret="secret", secondSecret="secondSecret")
{'id': '13372419325129159475', 'success': True}

>>> arky.rest.use("dark")
>>> arky.core.sendToken(amount=100000000, recipientId="15981732227677853647X",
... secret="secret", secondSecret="secondSecret",
... vendorField="Your smart bridge message here")
{'success': True, 'transactionIds': ['24584ec149106e6206445106af8176cc885edf12ae
0c4534d2e4a3b4214d4a3f'], 'broadcast': '90.0%'}

Vote for delegate
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

>>> arky.rest.use("toxy")
>>> arky.core.upVoteDelegate(["toons", "unused"],
... secret="secret", secondSecret="secondSecret")
{'id': '10107701353010554951', 'success': True}

>>> arky.rest.use("dark")
>>> arky.core.downVoteDelegate(["d_arky"],
... secret="secret", secondSecret="secondSecret")
{'broadcast': '100.0%', 'transactionIds': ['ecd663ea46472cd7d72431eb13e9b23ef9c2
6aae8a1004621b871677960d01f1'], 'success': True}

CLI
===

You can use ``arky`` package without writing a line of code trough command
line interface. There are two ways to launch the CLI.

>>> from arky import cli
>>> cli.start()
