RaiBlocks Python Library

This library contains a python wrapper for the RaiBlocks RPC server 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.

Also included are utilities such as converting rai/xrb and interesting accounts

Installation

pip install raiblocks

RPC client

You can browse the available RPC methods list or check the RPC Client API documentation for examples of usage.

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

Conversion

>>> from raiblocks import convert
>>> convert(12, from_unit='XRB', to_unit='raw')
Decimal('1.2E+31')

>>> convert(0.4, from_unit='krai', to_unit='XRB')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: float values can lead to unexpected
precision loss, please use a Decimal or string
eg. convert('0.4', 'krai', 'XRB')

>>> convert('0.4', from_unit='krai', to_unit='XRB')
Decimal('0.0004')
