ABI error when using HTTPProviver over just nile network

[30ThreeDegrees]

Hi there,

I am using this code to find a usdt balance of a wallet

from tronpy import Tron
from tronpy.providers import HTTPProvider

client = Tron(network="nile")


# cntr = client.get_contract("THi2qJf6XmvTJSpZHc17HgQsmJop6kb3ia")

# print(dir(cntr.functions))


# client = Tron(network="nile")

cntr = client.get_contract("TXLAQ63Xg1NAzckPwKHvzw7CSEmLMEqcdj")

tron_account_address = "THYkuRwPKuSM4xbfoYqg8Nyn5UAw5kAVVR"

usdt_balance = cntr.functions.balanceOf(tron_account_address)

print(f"USDT Balance of {tron_account_address}: {usdt_balance / 10**6} USDT")

RESPONSE: USDT Balance of THYkuRwPKuSM4xbfoYqg8Nyn5UAw5kAVVR: 50000.0 USDT

And this works fine but the moment I go to use trongrid creds I get an error saying I cant call a contract without an ABI

from tronpy import Tron
from tronpy.providers import HTTPProvider

client = Tron(
    HTTPProvider(api_key="insert_key"), network="nile"
)


cntr = client.get_contract("TXLAQ63Xg1NAzckPwKHvzw7CSEmLMEqcdj")

tron_account_address = "THYkuRwPKuSM4xbfoYqg8Nyn5UAw5kAVVR"

usdt_balance = cntr.functions.balanceOf(tron_account_address)

print(f"USDT Balance of {tron_account_address}: {usdt_balance / 10**6} USDT")

RESPONSE: raise ValueError("can not call a contract without ABI") ValueError: can not call a contract without ABI

Is anyone able to give me a little bit of guidance on whats happening here without the trongrid api key it works fine but with trongrid its no longe fetching the abi on its own?

Works for me without the api key. Maybe your key is invalid?

HTTPProvider by default uses mainnet trongrid, but when using network="nile" it doesn't even use trongrid at all. No key is required for testnet
