witpy 0.9.0

A JSON RPC client for the Witnet Protocol.

witpy

witpy is a library for interfacing with the Witnet protocol. ( See Witnet.io for more information )

Built on top of websockets and jsonrpcclient, it provides an easy way to automate wallet operations by node operators and any one else who might find it useful.

Quick Install:

> pip install witpy

Consider using virtualenv:

> sudo apt-get install virtualenv
> virtualenv env
> source env/bin/activate
(env) > pip install witpy

Usage:

Must have a Witnet node and wallet server running. See the Github for more information.

The WalletClient is a singleton and can be retrieved by:

from witpy.wallet import WalletClient

client = WalletClient.socket(url='127.0.0.1', port=11212)

print(client.create_mnemonics(length=12))

All the functions in witpy/wallet/client.py act as a direct passthrough of the json-rpc API provided by the Witnet wallet server. The json-rpc "method": is called as a client function with the "params": being keyword arguments **kwargs. It returns the raw json-rpc response from the wallet server.

# Some useful methods

client.create_mnemonics(length=12)
client.create_wallet(name='testnet', caption='witpy', password='secret', seed_source='mnemonics', seed_data='mnemonic word phrase')
client.get_wallet_infos()

client.unlock_wallet(wallet_id=wallet_id, session_id=session_id)
client.lock_wallet(wallet_id=wallet_id, session_id=session_id)

client.generate_address(wallet_id=wallet_id, session_id=session_id)
client.get_addresses(wallet_id=wallet_id, session_id=session_id, offset=0, limit=0)

client.create_vtt(wallet_id=wallet_id, session_id=session_id, address='', amount=1, fee=1, time_lock=0)
client.get_block_chain(epoch=-1, limit=1)

An example of requests:

from witpy.wallet.client import WalletClient as  witnet
from witpy.transactions.data_request import DataRequest as Request
from witpy.transactions.rad_request import RadRequest

from witpy.radon.types import FILTERS, REDUCERS, TYPES
from witpy.radon.script import Script, Source, Aggregator, Tally, cbor_to_radon, radon_to_cbor, method_from_script

import json

wallet_id = 'my-wallet-id'
session_id = client.unlock_wallet(wallet_id=wallet_id, password='secret')['session_id']

# 
client = WalletClient.socket('127.0.0.1', port=11212)

# Source 1
bitstamp = Source('https://www.bitstamp.net/api/ticker/')
bitstamp.parse_map_json().get_float('last').round()
# Source 2
blockchain = Source('https://blockchain.info/ticker')
blockchain.parse_map_json().get_map('USD').get_float('last').multiply(1000).round()
# Source 3
coindesk = Source('https://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/currentprice.json')
coindesk.parse_map_json().get_map('bpi').get_map('USD').get_float('rate_float').multiply(1000).round()


# Set aggregator and Tally
aggregator = Aggregator(filters=[[witnet.FILTERS.deviation_standard, 1.5]], reducer=REDUCERS.average_mean)
tally = Tally(filters=[[FILTERS.deviation_standard, 1]], reducer=REDUCERS.average_mean)

# Test Radon
rad_request = RadRequest().add_source(bitstamp).add_source(blockchain).add_source(coindesk)
rad_request.set_aggregate(aggregator).set_tally(tally)
rad = client.run_rad_request(rad_request=rad_request.to_json())
print(rad)

# Test Data Request
data_request = Request().add_source(bitstamp).add_source(blockchain).add_source(coindesk)
data_request.set_aggregate(aggregator).set_tally(tally)
data_request.set_quorum(5, 5, 2, 2, 51).set_fees(1, 1, 1, 1).set_collateral(1000000000).schedule(0)
print(data_request.as_json())

# Create and Send Transaction
trx = client.create_data_request(wallet_id=wallet_id, session_id=session_id, request=data_request.to_json(), fee=1)

# Save the transaction to a json file as a backup
with open('data/trx.json', 'w') as outfile:
    json.dump(trx, outfile)

print(trx['transaction'])

# The hash of the data request used to lookup
print(trx['transaction_id']) 

resp = client.send_transaction(wallet_id=wallet_id, session_id=session_id, transaction=trx['transaction'])
print(resp)
