Examples

Initialization

from client import ArkClient

client = ArkClient('https://node.ip.address:port/api')

Blocks

This service API grants access to the blocks resource. A block is a signed set of transactions created by a delegate and permanently committed to the ARK blockchain.

It is not possible to POST a block through the public API. Relay Nodes accept only blocks posted by a delegate at the correct time through the internal API.

List All Blocks

blocks = client.blocks.all()

# With parameters
blocks = client.blocks.all(page=5, limit=10, {"orderBy": "height"})

# Available extra_parameters :
# orderBy, ...

print(blocks)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}

Retrieve a Block

block = client.blocks.get('validBlockId')

print(block)

>>> {'data': {'id': 'validBlockId' ... }}

List All Transactions of a Block

block_transactions = client.blocks.transactions('validBlockId')

# With parameters
block_transactions = client.blocks.transactions('validBlockId', page=5, limit=10)

print(block_transactions)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}

Search All Blocks

searched_blocks = client.blocks.search({"generatorPublicKey": "validPublicKey"})

# With parameters
searched_blocks = client.blocks.search({"generatorPublicKey": "validPublicKey"}, page=5, limit=10)

# Available keys :
# generatorPublicKey, ...

print(searched_blocks)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 100, ... }}

Delegates

The client SDK can be used to query the delegate resource.

A delegate is a regular wallet that has broadcasted a registration transaction, acquired a sufficient number of votes, and has a Relay Node configured to forge new blocks through a forger module. At any time only 51 delegates are active. They are cost-efficient miners running the ARK network.

Voters are wallets which have broadcasted a vote transaction on a delegate. A vote remains active until an un-vote transaction is sent (it does not have to be recast unless a wallet wishes to change from delegate). Voting for a delegate does not give the delegate access to the wallet nor does it lock the coins in it.

List All Delegates

delegates = client.delegates.all()

# With parameters
delegates = client.delegates.all(page=5, limit=20, {"orderBy": "production")

# Available extra_parameters :
# orderBy, ...

print(delegates)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 20, ... }}

Retrieve a Delegate

delegate = client.delegates.get("delegateName")

print(delegate)

>>> {'data': {'username': 'delegateName', ... }}

Search Delegates

searched_delegates = client.delegates.search("delegateName")

# With parameters
searched_delegates = client.delegates.search("delegateName", page=1, limit=5)

print(searched_delegates)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 1, ... }}

List All Blocks of a Delegate

delegate_blocks = client.delegates.blocks("delegateName")

# With parameters
delegate_blocks = client.delegates.blocks("delegateName", page=1, limit=20)

print(delegate_blocks)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 20, ... }}

List All Voters of a Delegate

delegate_voters = client.delegates.voters("delegateName")

# With parameters
delegate_voters = client.delegates.voters("delegateName", page=1, limit=10)

print(delegate_voters)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}

Node

The ARK network consists of different anonymous nodes (servers), maintaining the public ledger, validating transactions and blocks and providing APIs. The node resource allows for querying the health and configurations of the node used by the instantiated client.

Retrieve the Configuration

configuration = client.node.configuration()

print(configuration)

>>> {'data': {'nethash': '6e84d08bd299ed97c212c886c98a57e36545c8f5d645ca7eeae63a8bd62d8988', ... }}

Retrieve the Status

status = client.node.status()

print(status)

>>> {'data': {'synced': True, 'now': 6897158, 'blocksCount': -1}}

Retrieve the Syncing Status

syncing_status = client.node.syncing()

print(syncing_status)

>>> {'data': {'syncing': False, 'blocks': -1, 'height': 6897160, 'id': '12905037940821862953'}}

Retrieve the Node Fees

fees = client.node.fees()

print(fees)

>>> {"meta":{"days":7, ...}}

Peers

Each node is connected to a set of peers, which are Relay or Delegate Nodes as well. The peers resource provides access to all peers connected to our node.

Peers have made their Public API available for use; however for mission-critical queries and transaction posting you should use a node which is under your control. We provide a guide to setting up a Relay Node here.

List All Peers

peers = client.peers.all()

# With parameters
peers = client.peers.all(os="", status="", port=4002, version="", orderBy="latency", page=1, limit=10)

print(peers)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}

Retrieve a Peer

peer = client.peers.get("peerIpAddress")

print(peer)

>>> {'data': {'count': 20, ... }} # Need to changes

Transactions

The heart of any blockchain is formed by its transactions; state-altering payloads signed by a wallet. Most likely you will be querying for transactions most often, using the transaction resource.

A transaction is the only object which may be posted by a non-delegate. It requires a signature from a wallet containing a sufficient amount of ARK.

Create a Transaction

transaction = client.transactions.create([signed_transaction])

print(transaction)

>>>  # Need to update

Retrieve a Transaction

transaction = client.transactions.get("validTransactionId")

print(transaction)

>>>  # Need to update

List All Transactions

transactions = client.transactions.all()

# With parameters
transactions = client.transactions.all(page=1, limit=10, {"orderBy": "amount"})

# Available extra_parameters :
# orderBy, ...

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}

List All Unconfirmed Transactions

unconfirmed_transactions = client.transactions.all_unconfirmed()

# With parameters
unconfirmed_transactions = client.transactions.all_unconfirmed(page=1, limit=10, {"orderBy": "amount"})

# Available extra_parameters :
# orderBy, ...

print(unconfirmed_transactions)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}

Get Unconfirmed Transaction

unconfirmed_transaction = client.transactions.get_unconfirmed("validTransactionId")

print(uncofirmed_transaction)

>>>  # Need to update

Search Transactions

transactions = client.transactions.search({"senderId": "validPublicKey"})
transactions = client.transactions.search({"senderId": "validPublicKey"}, page=1, limit=10)

# Available keys :
# senderId, ...

print(transactions)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}

List Transaction Types

types = client.transactions.types()

print(types)

>>> {"data":{...}}

List Transaction Fees (Non-Dynamic)

fees = client.transactions.fees()

>>> {"data":{...}}

Votes

A vote is a transaction sub-type, where the asset field contains a votes object and the transaction.type is 3.

List All Votes

votes = client.votes.all()

# With parameters
votes = client.votes.all(page=1, limit=10)

print(votes)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}

Retrieve a Vote

vote = client.votes.get('validVoteId')

print(vote)

>>> {'data': {...}}

Wallets

The wallet resource provides access to:

Wallets.
Incoming and outgoing transactions per wallet.
Each wallet’s votes.

Retrieve All Wallets

wallets = client.wallets.all()

# With parameters
wallets = client.wallets.all(page=1, limit=10)

print(wallets)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}

Retrieve a Wallet

wallet = client.wallets.get('validWalletId')

print(wallet)

>>> {'data': {'id': 'validWalletId' ... }}

List All Transactions of a Wallet

wallet_transactions = client.wallets.transactions('validWalletId')
wallet_transactions = client.wallets.transactions('validWalletId', page=1, limit=10, {"orderBy": "amount"})

# Available extra_parameters :
# orderBy, ...

print(wallet_transactions)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}

List All Received Transactions of a Wallet

received_transactions = client.wallets.transactions_received('validWalletId')

# With parameters
received_transactions = client.wallets.transactions_received('validWalletId', page=1, limit=10, {"orderBy": "amount"})

# Available extra_parameters :
# orderBy, ...

print(received_transactions)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}

List All Sent Transactions of a Wallet

sent_transactions = client.wallets.transactions_sent('validWalletId')

# With parameters
sent_transactions = client.wallets.transactions_sent('validWalletId', page=1, limit=10, {"orderBy": "amount"})

# Available extra_parameters :
# orderBy, ...

print(sent_transactions)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}

List All Votes of a Wallet

wallet_votes = client.wallets.votes('validWalletId')

# With parameters
wallet_votes = client.wallets.votes('validWalletId', page=1, limit=10)

print(wallet_votes)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}

List All Top Wallets

top_wallets = client.wallets.top()

# With parameters
top_wallets = client.wallets.top(page=1, limit=10)

print(top_wallets)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}

Search All Wallets

wallets = client.wallets.search({"publicKey": "validPublicKey})

# With parameters
wallets = client.wallets.search({"publicKey": "validPublicKey}, page=1, limit=10)

# Available keys :
# publicKey, ...

print(wallets)

>>> {'meta': {'count': 10, ... }}
