A set of modules for interfacing with many common types of ASIC bitcoin miners, using both their API and SSH.

Code style: black pypi python Read the Docs GitHub CodeFactor Grade

Documentation and Supported Miners

Documentation is located on Read the Docs as pyasic.

Supported miners are listed in the docs, here.

Installation

You can install pyasic directly from pip with the command pip install pyasic.

For those of you who aren't comfortable with code and developer tools, there are windows builds of GUI applications that use this library here.

Developer Setup

It is highly reccommended that you contribute to this project through pyasic-super using its submodules. This allows testing in conjunction with other pyasic related programs.


This repo uses poetry for dependencies, which can be installed by following the guide on their website here.

After you have poetry installed, run poetry install --with dev, or poetry install --with dev,docs if you want to include packages required for documentation.

Finally, initialize pre-commit hooks with poetry run pre-commit install.

Documentation Testing

Testing the documentation can be done by running poetry run mkdocs serve, whcih will serve the documentation locally on port 8000.

Interfacing with miners programmatically

There are 2 main ways to get a miner (and the functions attached to it), via scanning or via the MinerFactory().

Scanning for miners

import asyncio

from pyasic.network import MinerNetwork


# define asynchronous function to scan for miners
async def scan_and_get_data():
    # Define network range to be used for scanning
    # This can take a list of IPs, a constructor string, or an IP and subnet mask
    # The standard mask is /24 (x.x.x.0-255), and you can pass any IP address in the subnet
    net = MinerNetwork("192.168.1.69", mask=24)
    # Scan the network for miners
    # This function returns a list of miners of the correct type as a class
    miners: list = await net.scan_network_for_miners()

    # We can now get data from any of these miners
    # To do them all we have to create a list of tasks and gather them
    tasks = [miner.get_data() for miner in miners]
    # Gather all tasks asynchronously and run them
    data = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)

    # Data is now a list of MinerData, and we can reference any part of that
    # Print out all data for now
    for item in data:
        print(item)

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

Getting a miner if you know the IP

import asyncio

from pyasic import get_miner


# define asynchronous function to get miner and data
async def get_miner_data(miner_ip: str):
    # Use MinerFactory to get miner
    # MinerFactory is a singleton, so we can just get the instance in place
    miner = await get_miner(miner_ip)

    # Get data from the miner
    data = await miner.get_data()
    print(data)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(get_miner_data("192.168.1.69"))

Advanced data gathering

If needed, this library exposes a wrapper for the miner API that can be used for advanced data gathering.

You can see more information on basic usage of the APIs past this example in the docs here.

Please see the appropriate API documentation page (pyasic docs -> Advanced -> Miner APIs -> your API type) for a link to that specific miner's API documentation page and more information.

List available API commands

import asyncio

from pyasic import get_miner


async def get_api_commands(miner_ip: str):
    # Get the miner
    miner = await get_miner(miner_ip)

    # List all available commands
    # Can also be called explicitly with the function miner.api.get_commands()
    print(miner.api.commands)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(get_api_commands("192.168.1.69"))

Use miner API commands to gather data

The miner API commands will raise an APIError if they fail with a bad status code, to bypass this you must send them manually by using miner.api.send_command(command, ignore_errors=True)

import asyncio

from pyasic import get_miner


async def get_api_commands(miner_ip: str):
    # Get the miner
    miner = await get_miner(miner_ip)

    # Run the devdetails command
    # This is equivalent to await miner.api.send_command("devdetails")
    devdetails: dict = await miner.api.devdetails()
    print(devdetails)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(get_api_commands("192.168.1.69"))
