raiblocks 1.1.0

RaiBlocks Python RPC client for rai_node

This library contains a python wrapper for the RaiBlocks RPC server which tries to make it a little easier to work with by converting RPC responses to native python ones and exposing a pythonic api for making RPC calls.

Also included are utilities such as converting rai/xrb and interesting accounts

Installation

RPC client

You can browse the available RPC methods list or check the RPC Client API documentation for examples of usage.

Warning

The RPC client DOES NOT handle timeouts or retries automatically since this could lead to unwanted retries of requests causing double spends. Keep this in mind when implementing retries.

>>> from raiblocks import RPCClient
>>> rpc = RPCClient('http://localhost:7076')
>>> rpc.version()
{
    'rpc_version': 1,
    'store_version': 10,
    'node_vendor': 'RaiBlocks 9.0'
}
>>> rpc.peers()
{
    '[::ffff:75.171.168.5]:7075': 4,
    '[::ffff:108.44.38.183]:1032': 4
}

Conversion

>>> from raiblocks import convert
>>> convert(12, from_unit='XRB', to_unit='raw')
Decimal('1.2E+31')

>>> convert(0.4, from_unit='krai', to_unit='XRB')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: float values can lead to unexpected
precision loss, please use a Decimal or string
eg. convert('0.4', 'krai', 'XRB')

>>> convert('0.4', from_unit='krai', to_unit='XRB')
Decimal('0.0004')
