MultiProvider

This provider keeps track of the current endpoint and switches to the next one if an error occurs. It fails if no endpoints are available.

FallbackProvider

This provider sends requests to the all endpoints in the sequence until response received or endpoints list exhausted.

AsyncMultiProvider and AsyncFallbackProvider

These providers are async versions of MultiProvider and FallbackProvider respectively. They may be used with instances of AsyncWeb3.

from web3 import AsyncWeb3
from web3_multi_provider import AsyncMultiProvider

w3 = AsyncWeb3(AsyncMultiProvider([  # RPC endpoints list
    'http://127.0.0.1:8000/',
    'https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/...',
]))
