Contract Types

The ape-etherscan plugin also assists in fetching contract_types. Use the Contract top-level construct to create contract instances. When the explorer plugin locates a contract type for a given address, the Contract return-value uses that contract type.

from ape import accounts, Contract

contract = Contract("0x55a8a39bc9694714e2874c1ce77aa1e599461e18")
receipt = contract.call_mutable_method("arg0", sender=accounts.load("acct"))

The first line contract = Contract("0x55a8a39bc9694714e2874c1ce77aa1e599461e18") checks if ape has a cached contract-type for the address 0x55a8a39bc9694714e2874c1ce77aa1e599461e18. If it does not find a cached contract type, it uses an explorer plugin to attempt to find one. If found, the contract type is then cached to disk and in memory for the active session so that subsequent invocations don't require HTTP calls. The return value from Contract is a ContractInstance, so it is connected to your active provider and ready for transactions.

NOTE: Vyper contracts from Etherscan always return the name Vyper_contract. However, if the plugin detects that the contract type has a method named symbol, it will use the return value from that call instead.
