autonomi-client 0.2.2

Autonomi client API

autonomi - Autonomi client API

Connect to and build on the Autonomi network.

Usage

Add the autonomi crate to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
autonomi = { path = "../autonomi", version = "0.1.0" }

Running tests

Using a local EVM testnet

1. If you haven't, install Foundry, to be able to run Anvil nodes: https://book.getfoundry.sh/getting-started/installation
2. Run a local EVM node:

cargo run --bin evm_testnet

3. Run a local network with the local feature and use the local evm node.

cargo run --bin=safenode-manager --features=local -- local run --build --clean --rewards-address <ETHEREUM_ADDRESS> evm-local

4. Then run the tests with the local feature and pass the EVM params again:

EVM_NETWORK=local cargo test --package=autonomi --features=local
# Or with logs
RUST_LOG=autonomi EVM_NETWORK=local cargo test --package=autonomi --features=local -- --nocapture

Using a live testnet or mainnet

Using the hardcoded Arbitrum One option as an example, but you can also use the command flags of the steps above and point it to a live network.

1. Run a local network with the local feature:

cargo run --bin=safenode-manager --features=local -- local run --build --clean --rewards-address <ETHEREUM_ADDRESS> evm-arbitrum-one

2. Then run the tests with the local feature. Make sure that the wallet of the private key you pass has enough gas and payment tokens on the network (in this case Arbitrum One):

EVM_NETWORK=arbitrum-one EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=<PRIVATE_KEY> cargo test --package=autonomi --features=local
# Or with logs
RUST_LOG=autonomi EVM_NETWORK=arbitrum-one EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=<PRIVATE_KEY> cargo test --package=autonomi --features=local -- --nocapture

WebAssembly

To run a WASM test

• Install wasm-pack
• Make sure your Rust supports the wasm32-unknown-unknown target. (If you have rustup: rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown.)
• Pass a bootstrap peer via SAFE_PEERS. This has to be the websocket address, e.g. /ip4/<ip>/tcp/<port>/ws/p2p/<peer ID>.
  • As well as the other environment variables needed for EVM payments (e.g. RPC_URL).
• Optionally specify the specific test, e.g. -- put to run put() in wasm.rs only.

Example:

SAFE_PEERS=/ip4/<ip>/tcp/<port>/ws/p2p/<peer ID> wasm-pack test --release --firefox autonomi --features=data,files --test wasm -- put

Test from JS in the browser

wasm-pack test does not execute JavaScript, but runs mostly WebAssembly. Again make sure the environment variables are set and build the JS package:

wasm-pack build --dev --target=web autonomi --features=vault

Then cd into autonomi/tests-js, and use npm to install and serve the test html file.

cd autonomi/tests-js
npm install
npm run serve

Then go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/tests-js in the browser. Here, enter a ws multiaddr of a local node and press ' run'.

MetaMask example

There is a MetaMask example for doing a simple put operation.

Build the package with the external-signer feature (and again with the env variables) and run a webserver, e.g. with Python:

wasm-pack build --dev --target=web autonomi --features=external-signer
python -m http.server --directory=autonomi 8000

Then visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/metamask in your (modern) browser.

Here, enter a ws multiaddr of a local node and press 'run'.

Faucet (local)

There is no faucet server, but instead you can use the Deployer wallet private key printed in the EVM node output to initialise a wallet from with almost infinite gas and payment tokens. Example:

let rpc_url = "http://localhost:54370/";
let payment_token_address = "0x5FbDB2315678afecb367f032d93F642f64180aa3";
let data_payments_address = "0x8464135c8F25Da09e49BC8782676a84730C318bC";
let private_key = "0xac0974bec39a17e36ba4a6b4d238ff944bacb478cbed5efcae784d7bf4f2ff80";

let network = Network::Custom(CustomNetwork::new(
rpc_url,
payment_token_address,
data_payments_address,
));

let deployer_wallet = Wallet::new_from_private_key(network, private_key).unwrap();
let receiving_wallet = Wallet::new_with_random_wallet(network);

// Send 10 payment tokens (atto)
let _ = deployer_wallet
.transfer_tokens(receiving_wallet.address(), Amount::from(10))
.await;

Alternatively, you can provide the wallet address that should own all the gas and payment tokens to the EVM testnet startup command using the --genesis-wallet flag:

cargo run --bin evm_testnet -- --genesis-wallet <ETHEREUM_ADDRESS>

Python Bindings

The Autonomi client library provides Python bindings for easy integration with Python applications.

Installation

pip install autonomi-client

Quick Start

from autonomi_client import Client, Wallet, PaymentOption

# Initialize wallet with private key
wallet = Wallet("your_private_key_here")
print(f"Wallet address: {wallet.address()}")
print(f"Balance: {wallet.balance()}")

# Connect to network
client = Client.connect(["/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/12000"])

# Create payment option
payment = PaymentOption.wallet(wallet)

# Upload data
data = b"Hello, Safe Network!"
addr = client.data_put(data, payment)
print(f"Data uploaded to: {addr}")

# Download data
retrieved = client.data_get(addr)
print(f"Retrieved: {retrieved.decode()}")

Complete Examples

Data Management

def handle_data_operations(client, payment):
    # Upload text
    text_data = b"Hello, Safe Network!"
    text_addr = client.data_put(text_data, payment)
    
    # Upload binary data
    with open("image.jpg", "rb") as f:
        image_data = f.read()
        image_addr = client.data_put(image_data, payment)
    
    # Download and verify
    downloaded = client.data_get(text_addr)
    assert downloaded == text_data

Private Data and Encryption

def handle_private_data(client, payment):
    # Create and encrypt private data
    secret = {"api_key": "secret_key"}
    data = json.dumps(secret).encode()
    
    # Store privately
    access = client.private_data_put(data, payment)
    print(f"Access token: {access.to_hex()}")
    
    # Retrieve
    retrieved = client.private_data_get(access)
    secret = json.loads(retrieved.decode())

Vault Management

def handle_vault(client, payment):
    # Create vault
    vault_key = VaultSecretKey.new()
    
    # Store user data
    user_data = UserData()
    user_data.add_file_archive("archive_address")
    
    # Save to vault
    cost = client.put_user_data_to_vault(vault_key, payment, user_data)
    
    # Retrieve
    retrieved = client.get_user_data_from_vault(vault_key)
    archives = retrieved.file_archives()

Error Handling

All operations can raise exceptions. It's recommended to use try-except blocks:

try:
    client = Client.connect(peers)
    # ... operations ...
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")

Best Practices

1. Always keep private keys secure
2. Use error handling for all network operations
3. Clean up resources when done
4. Monitor wallet balance for payments
5. Use appropriate content types for vault storage
