chain_harvester 0.36.1

A Python library designed to interface with various blockchain networks, enabling the retrieval of data.

Chain Harvester

Chain Harvester is a utility for seamlessly interacting with Ethereum-like blockchains. It provides a comprehensive set of methods to fetch information from the blockchain, including blocks, events, and storage content of contracts.

• Github repository: https://github.com/blockanalitica/chain-harvester/

Features

• Web3 Integration: Direct integration with the Web3.py library for querying Ethereum nodes.
• Event Decoding: Decode event logs and get events for specific contracts or topics.
• Contract Storage: Fetch storage content at specific positions for a contract.
• Multicall Support: Batch multiple contract calls into a single request.
• Retry Mechanism: Built-in retry mechanism for HTTP requests.
• ABI Management: Load and cache ABI (Application Binary Interface) data for contracts.

Installation

To install Chain Harvester, simply use pip:

pip install chain-harvester

Make sure you have pip installed and are using a version of Python that is compatible with Chain Harvester.

Supported Chains

Chain Harvester provides specific implementations for different blockchains and their respective versions or networks. Each chain is encapsulated in its own class, which inherits from the base Chain class. These chain-specific classes contain data and methods that are relevant to their respective blockchains.

Ethereum Chains

• Ethereum Mainnet: Located in networks.ethereum.mainnet. This class, EthereumMainnetChain, interacts with the Ethereum mainnet.

  from networks.ethereum.mainnet import EthereumMainnetChain
  
  eth_main = EthereumMainnetChain(rpc="YOUR_RPC_ENDPOINT")
  

• Ethereum Goerli: Located in networks.ethereum.goerli. This class is designed to interact with the Goerli testnet of Ethereum.

  from networks.ethereum.goerli import EthereumGoerliChain
  
  eth_goerli = EthereumGoerliChain(rpc="YOUR_RPC_ENDPOINT")
  

Gnosis Chains

• Gnosis Mainnet: Located in networks.gnosis.mainnet. This class is designed to interact with the Gnosis mainnet.

  from networks.gnosis.mainnet import GnosisMainnetChain
  
  gnosis_main = GnosisMainnetChain(rpc="YOUR_RPC_ENDPOINT")

Commit Message Convention

We follow the Conventional Commits specification for our commit messages. This leads to more readable messages that are easy to follow when looking through the project history.

Format

Each commit message consists of a header, a body, and a footer. The header has a special format that includes a type, an optional scope, and a description:

<type>(<scope>): <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer]

For example:

fix(server): fix crash on start-up

The application crashed on start-up due to an environment variable missing. This commit ensures that the application checks for the environment variable before start-up.

Types

We primarily use the following commit types:

• fix: Patches a bug in your codebase.
• feat: Introduces a new feature to the codebase.
• BREAKING CHANGE: An API change that breaks backward compatibility.
• chore: Regular code maintenance.
• docs: Documentation only changes.
• style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, etc).
• refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature.
• perf: A code change that improves performance.
• test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing ones.
