REST API

rest module allows developers to send requests to the blockchain.

>>> import arky.rest
>>> arky.rest.use("ark")

All endpoints can be reached using this syntax :

arky.rest.[METHOD].[endpoints with "/" replaced by "."](param=value, ...[returnKey=name])

>>> # http equivalent [PEER ADDRESS]/api/delegates/get?username=arky
>>> arky.rest.GET.api.delegates.get(username="arky")
{'delegate': {'productivity': 99.22, 'producedblocks': 42283, 'approval': 1.06, 
'rate': 19, 'publicKey': '030da05984d579395ce276c0dd6ca0a60140a3c3d964423a04e7ab
e110d60a15e9', 'username': 'arky', 'vote': '137484978342696', 'address': 'ARfDVW
Z7Zwkox3ZXtMQQY1HYSANMB88vWE', 'missedblocks': 334}, 'success': True}

It returns a python dictionary transposed from a server json response. You can provide a returnKey option value to get the field you want from the server response :

>>> arky.rest.use("oxy")
>>> arky.rest.GET.api.delegates.get(username="toons", returnKey="delegate")
{'rate': 20, 'producedblocks': 1354, 'approval': 14.36, 'username': 'toons', 'ra
nk': 20, 'publicKey': 'c0f4e7fb7555fd19de2b6a9de92f02b44cef56c782ca0f6983607b7f4
e508ef9', 'productivity': 99.63, 'missedblocks': 5, 'vote': '14761760.09882003', 
'address': '15981732227677853647X'}

Blockchain core

arky.rest.use loads a blockchain package found in *.net file as arky.core. Blockchain package defines the current interface :

• arky.core.crypto.getKeys(secret)
• arky.core.crypto.getAddress(publicKey)
• arky.core.crypto.getSignature(tx, privateKey)
• arky.core.crypto.getId(tx)
• arky.core.crypto.getBytes(tx)
• arky.core.sendTransaction(**kw)
• arky.core.sendPayload(*payloads)
• arky.core.sendToken(amount, recipientId, secret, secondSecret=None, vendorField=None)
• arky.core.registerSecondPublicKey(secondPublicKey, secret)
• arky.core.registerSecondPassphrase(secret, secondSecret)
• arky.core.registerDelegate(username, secret, secondSecret=None)
• arky.core.upVoteDelegate(usernames, secret, secondSecret=None)
• arky.core.downVoteDelegate(usernames, secret, secondSecret=None)

arky.core creates a transaction object locally using pynacl and ecdsa crypto libraries so no secrets (e.g., passphrase, second passphrase) are sent trough the network.

Send coins

Amount are given in SATOSHI.

>>> arky.rest.use("toxy")
>>> arky.core.sendToken(amount=100000000, recipientId="15981732227677853647X",
...                     secret="secret", secondSecret="secondSecret")
{'id': '13372419325129159475', 'success': True}
>>> arky.rest.use("dark")
>>> arky.core.sendToken(amount=100000000, recipientId="15981732227677853647X",
...                     secret="secret", secondSecret="secondSecret",
...                     vendorField="Your smart bridge message here")
{'success': True, 'transactionIds': ['24584ec149106e6206445106af8176cc885edf12ae
0c4534d2e4a3b4214d4a3f'], 'broadcast': '90.0%'}

Vote for delegate

>>> arky.rest.use("toxy")
>>> arky.core.upVoteDelegate(["toons", "unused"],
...                          secret="secret", secondSecret="secondSecret")
{'id': '10107701353010554951', 'success': True}
>>> arky.rest.use("dark")
>>> arky.core.downVoteDelegate(["d_arky"],
...                            secret="secret", secondSecret="secondSecret")
{'broadcast': '100.0%', 'transactionIds': ['ecd663ea46472cd7d72431eb13e9b23ef9c2
6aae8a1004621b871677960d01f1'], 'success': True}

CLI

You can use the arky package without writing a line of code through the command line interface. There are two ways to launch the CLI.

>>> from arky import cli
>>> cli.start()
