Developer-Controlled Wallets

circle-developer-controlled-wallets

This SDK provides convenient access to Circle's Developer Controlled Wallets APIs for applications written in Python. For the API reference, see the Circle Web3 API docs.

• Package version: 8.1.1

Requirements.

Python 3.7+

Installation

pip install

pip install circle-developer-controlled-wallets

Then import the package:

from circle.web3 import developer_controlled_wallets

Usage

1. Generate an API key, if you haven't already, in the Web3 Services Console. This API key will be used for authentication and authorization when making requests to Circle's APIs.

   export CIRCLE_WEB3_API_KEY="Your API KEY"
   

2. Generate a new entity secret by using the helper function in the SDK. This will print a new entity secret which will be used in step 3 to register it.

   from circle.web3 import utils
   
   utils.generate_entity_secret()
   

   [!IMPORTANT]
   Protect your Entity Secret as you would protect your house key. Losing it or sharing it with others can have serious consequences. As the name suggests, the Entity Secret is sensitive information. Store it securely and treat it with the highest level of confidentiality to prevent unauthorized access or use.

3. Register the entity secret either by using the SDK or by following Circle's Developer-Controlled QuickStart. This step ensures that your account is correctly set up to interact with Circle's APIs.

       from circle.web3 import utils
       result =  utils.register_entity_secret_ciphertext(api_key='your_api_key', entity_secret='new_entity_secret')
       print(result)
   

   [!IMPORTANT] The register_entity_secret_ciphertext function downloads a recovery file named recovery_file_<timestamp>.dat. This file should be stored securely, similar to the entity secret. Additionally, the function returns the content of the recovery file as a JSON response.

4. In your code, use the init_developer_controlled_wallets_client function from the utils and initialize the client using your API key and entity secret:

   from circle.web3 import utils
   
   client = utils.init_developer_controlled_wallets_client(api_key="Your API KEY", entity_secret="Your entity secret")
   

5. Interact with the client:

from circle.web3 import utils
from circle.web3 import developer_controlled_wallets

client = utils.init_developer_controlled_wallets_client(api_key="Your API KEY", entity_secret="Your entity secret")
api_instance = developer_controlled_wallets.WalletSetsApi(client)

# create wallet sets
try:
    request = developer_controlled_wallets.CreateWalletSetRequest.from_dict({
        "name": "my_wallet_set"
    })
    response = api_instance.create_wallet_set(request)
    print(response)
except developer_controlled_wallets.ApiException as e:
    print("Exception when calling WalletSetsApi->create_wallet_set: %s\n" % e)

# list wallet sets
try:
    response = api_instance.get_wallet_sets()
    for wallet_set in response.data.wallet_sets:
        print(wallet_set.actual_instance.id)
except developer_controlled_wallets.ApiException as e:
    print("Exception when calling WalletSetsApi->get_wallet_sets: %s\n" % e)

We recommend reading through the official documentation and QuickStart guides mentioned above to ensure a smooth setup and usage experience.
