Nektar, Hive API SDK for Python

nektar

Nektar a Hive API SDK for Python.

Official Release

nektar can now be used on your Python projects through PyPi by running pip command on a Python-ready environment.

pip install hive-nektar --upgrade

Current version is 0.9.*, but more updates are coming soon.

This is compatible with Python 3.9 or later.

WARNINGS:

• This package is still under development, some future breakage is inevitable.
• Some AppBase API methods are still under development and subject to change.
• Do NOT copy your private keys in your codes!

Features

1. Lightweight package for small Hive dApps or projects.
2. Readily available methods using the nektar.Waggle() class.
3. Highly costumizable via appbase module.

Nektar Module

Contains the Waggle, Swarm, and Drone classes.

WARNING: Store WIFs securely in a separate file!

AppBase Module

Basic Usage

## Initialize AppBase Class
hive = AppBase()

## Initialize AppBase Class with custom parameters
custom_nodes = ["testnet.openhive.network"]
hive = AppBase(nodes=custom_nodes, chain_id=CHAIN_ID_TESTNET, timeout=5, retries=1, warning=True)

## Change to custom nodes
hive.custom_nodes(custom_nodes)

## Add new WIF and equivalent role
hive.append_wif(wif="5*", role="posting")
hive.append_wif(wif="5*", role="active")

## Add new dictionary of roles and their equivalent WIFs
wifs = {"posting": "5*", "active": "5*"}
hive.append_wif(wifs)

## Change retries to custom value
hive.set_timeout(15)
