py-stellar-base gives you access to all the endpoints exposed by Horizon.
py-stellar-base uses the Builder pattern to create the requests to send to Horizon. Starting with a :pyServer <stellar_sdk.server.Server>
object, you can chain methods together to generate a query. (See the Horizon reference documentation for what methods are possible.)
../../examples/query_horizon.py
Once the request is built, it can be invoked with :pycall() <stellar_sdk.call_builder.BaseCallBuilder.call>
or with :pystream() <stellar_sdk.call_builder.BaseCallBuilder.stream>
. :pycall() <stellar_sdk.call_builder.BaseCallBuilder.call>
will return the response given by Horizon.
Many requests can be invoked with :pystream() <stellar_sdk.call_builder.BaseCallBuilder.stream>
. Instead of returning a result like :pycall() <stellar_sdk.call_builder.BaseCallBuilder.call>
does, :pystream() <stellar_sdk.call_builder.BaseCallBuilder.stream>
will return an EventSource. Horizon will start sending responses from either the beginning of time or from the point specified with :pycursor() <stellar_sdk.call_builder.BaseCallBuilder.cursor>
. (See the Horizon reference documentation to learn which endpoints support streaming.)
