# RaiBlocks Python RPC client for rai_node

A python wrapper for the [RaiBlocks RPC server](https://github.com/clemahieu/raiblocks)
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.

Note: This library is still new so there may be bugs and api changes, PRs are welcome.

## Install

```
pip install raiblocks
```

## Usage

The client exposes the methods that can be found here:

https://github.com/clemahieu/raiblocks/wiki/RPC-protocol

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

At the moment the client replicates the RPC API which means there are some
instances where the same method will return different types eg:

```
# Returns a list
>>> client.pending(
... "xrb_1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111117353trpda")

]
```

```
# Returns a dict
>>> client.pending(
... "xrb_1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111117353trpda",
