ecash-python-rpc

eCash JSON-RPC Python module.

Serves as a tiny layer between an application and an eCash node daemon, its primary usage is querying the current state of the eCash blockchain, network stats, transactions...

Compatible with Avalanche Post-Consensus (0.26.x and later).

Installation

1. Install from pip3

$ pip3 install ecashrpc

2. Node configuration

Configure your eCash Avalanche Node for remote RPC calls based on your node's security needs. This includes:

• adding server=1, rpcallowip=, rpcbind= and rpcauth/rpcuser/rpcpassword= parameters to your node configuration in bitcoin.conf. (refer to the Server Configuration section of this Blockchain Dev guide)
• a reverse proxy server such as nginx to serve RPC data to external web apps subject to your eCash node's rpcallowip whitelist
• install a digital certificate (e.g. Let's Encrypt) on your node to enable HTTPS if desired

Usage

Create a sample ecashrpctest.py script as follows:

import asyncio
from ecashrpc import ECashRPC

async def main():
    async with ECashRPC('HOST:PORT','RPCUSER','RPCPASSWORD') as xecNode:
        print(await xecNode.getavalancheinfo())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Running this script (with some additional formatting) yields:

$ python3 ecashrpctest.py

{
  "ready_to_poll":true,
  "local":{
     "verified":true,
     "proofid":"...",
     "limited_proofid":"...",
     "master":"...",
     "payout_address":"ecash:qqmd..........",
     "stake_amount":1560000000
  },
  "network":{
     "proof_count":18,
     "connected_proof_count":18,
     "dangling_proof_count":0,
     "finalized_proof_count":18,
     "conflicting_proof_count":0,
     "immature_proof_count":4,
     "total_stake_amount":83681202831.85,
     "connected_stake_amount":83681202831.85,
     "dangling_stake_amount":0,
