This library provides convenience methods for:

• API Management: Retrieve user information (e.g., remaining points).
• Block Explorer: Get chain length, last block time, total transactions, etc.
• Event Map: Retrieve event map data for specified block ranges.
• Observation: Retrieve reasoning for specified ticker, summary type and block chunk end.

Usage

Initializing the Client

from sentichain import Client

# If you have an API key:
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"

# Initialize the client with the default SentiChain API URL
client = Client(api_key=api_key)

Examples

This is an example of how you might use this client:

from sentichain import Client

def main():
    api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"  # Replace with your real key
    client = Client(api_key=api_key)

    # Get user info
    user_info = client.get_user_info(user_id="12345", api_key=api_key)
    print("User info:", user_info)

    # Check chain length on testnet
    length = client.get_chain_length("testnet")
    print("Chain length:", length)

    # Fetch data for a specific block
    block_data = client.get_block_by_number(network="testnet", block_number=50)
    print("Block #50 data:", block_data)

    # Fetch reasoning for a specific ticker, summary type and block chunk end
    reasoning = client.get_reasoning_match_chunk_end(ticker="DOGE", summary_type="observation_public", user_chunk_end=200)
    print("Observation:", reasoning)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
