Privex's GOLOS Python Library

This is a Python 3 library designed for GOLOS Classic (may work with other GOLOS forks) developed and published by Privex Inc.

A large portion of the code was originally sourced from @ksantoprotein, while we've cleaned it up, made some improvements, added unit tests, and packaged it into a PyPi package.

Example uses

from golos import Api
from decimal import Decimal

golos = Api(nodes=['wss://golosd.privex.io', 'wss://api.golos.blckchnd.com/ws'])

###
# Get account information + balances
###

accounts = golos.get_accounts(['someguy123'])
acc = accounts[0]
print(acc['owner'])
# 'someguy123'

print('GOLOS:', acc['GOLOS'], 'GBG:', acc['GBG'])
# GOLOS: 157560.231 GBG: 6420.916

###
# Get witness information
###

witness = golos.get_witness_by_account(account='someguy123')
print(witness['url'])
# 'https://golos.io/ru--delegaty/@someguy123/delegat-someguy123'

###
# Get account history
###

history = golos.get_account_history(account='someguy123')

print(history[0])
# {'account': 'huso', 'witness': 'someguy123', 'approve': False, 'number': 127286, 'block': 30494335, 
#  'timestamp': '2019-09-17T14:20:21', 'type_op': 'account_witness_vote'}

###
# Transfer GOLOS / GBG to another account
#
# WARNING: To reduce the risk of rounding errors, pass the amount as either a string or a Decimal() - avoid float's!
###

tf = golos.transfer(
    to='ksantoprotein', amount='0.1', asset='GOLOS', from_account='someguy123',
    wif='5Jq19TeeVmGrBFnu32oxfxQMiipnSCKmwW7fZGUVLAoqsKJ9JwP', memo='this is an example transfer'
)

print('TXID:', tf['id'], 'Block:', tf['block_num'])
# TXID: c901c52daf57b60242d9d7be67f790e023cf2780 Block: 30895436

Contributing

We're happy to accept pull requests, no matter how small.

Please make sure any changes you make meet these basic requirements:

• Any code taken from other projects should be compatible with the MIT License
• This is a new project, and as such, supporting Python versions prior to 3.4 is very low priority.
• However, we're happy to accept PRs to improve compatibility with older versions of Python, as long as it doesn't:
  • drastically increase the complexity of the code
  • OR cause problems for those on newer versions of Python.

Legal Disclaimer for Contributions

Nobody wants to read a long document filled with legal text, so we've summed up the important parts here.

If you contribute content that you've created/own to projects that are created/owned by Privex, such as code or documentation, then you might automatically grant us unrestricted usage of your content, regardless of the open source license that applies to our project.

If you don't want to grant us unlimited usage of your content, you should make sure to place your content in a separate file, making sure that the license of your content is clearly displayed at the start of the file (e.g. code comments), or inside of it's containing folder (e.g. a file named LICENSE).

You should let us know in your pull request or issue that you've included files which are licensed separately, so that we can make sure there's no license conflicts that might stop us being able to accept your contribution.

If you'd rather read the whole legal text, it should be included as privex_contribution_agreement.txt.

Thanks for reading!
