Decode transaction inputs based on the contract ABI

Project description

# ethereum-input-decoder
Decode transaction inputs and constructor arguments based on the ethereum contract ABI. Tries to lookup function
signature hashes from 4bytes.directory.

* python3
* suggested as a PR to [eth-abi #69](https://github.com/ethereum/eth-abi/pull/69)
* the heavy lifting is done by `eth-abi`
* utilized in [pyetherchain](https://github.com/tintinweb/pyetherchain) to decode and dump smart contract code with inputs

Decode transaction inputs and constructor arguments to contract at [0xab7c74abc0c4d48d1bdad5dcb26153fc8780f83e](https://etherscan.io/address/0xab7c74abc0c4d48d1bdad5dcb26153fc8780f83e#code) to a more human friendly notation.

#### Example: Decode providing the ABI as .json

Usage:

python -m ethereum_input_decoder -a ./test/contract_abi_ab7c74abc0c4d48d1bdad5dcb26153fc8780f83e.json -c 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 -t 0x797af62798d790d3133e0049215669e09b55a0b59d586c95f94c2d56b2812040133d7707 -t 0x797af62798d790d3133e0049215669e09b55a0b59d586c95f94c2d56b2812040133d7707
