ocean.py

Python library to privately & securely publish, exchange, and consume data.

Maintainability Test Coverage

With ocean.py, you can:

  • Publish data services: downloadable files or compute-to-data. Create an ERC721 data NFT for each service, and ERC20 datatoken for access (1.0 datatokens to access).
  • Sell datatokens via for a fixed price. Sell data NFTs.
  • Transfer data NFTs & datatokens to another owner, and all other ERC721 & ERC20 actions using web3.py, Brownie, etc.

ocean.py is part of the Ocean Protocol toolset.

This is in beta state. If you run into problems, please open up a new issue.

🏗 Installation

#Install the ocean.py library. Allow pre-releases for the latest v4 version. Install wheel first to avoid errors.
pip install wheel
pip install --pre ocean-lib

⚠️ Mac users: if you encounter an "Unsupported Architecture" issue, then install including ARCHFLAGS: ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" pip install ocean-lib. [Details.]

🏄 Quickstart

Here are flows to try out, from simple to specific detailed variants.

  • Simple flow - the essence of Ocean - creating a data NFT & datatoken.
  • Publish flow - a dataset is published.
  • Consume flow - a published dataset is consumed (downloaded).
  • Marketplace flow - a data asset is posted for sale at fixed rate, then purchased.
  • Dispenser flow - here, a datatoken dispenser is created and datatokens are dispensed for free.

Remote flows

Key-value flows

  • Key-value database - use data NFTs to store arbitrary key-value pairs on-chain.
  • Profile NFTs - enable "login with Web3" where Dapp can access private user profile data.
