Sia is a new decentralized cloud storage platform that radically alters the landscape of cloud storage. By leveraging smart contracts, client-side encryption, and sophisticated redundancy (via Reed-Solomon codes), Sia allows users to safely store their data with hosts that they do not know or trust. The result is a cloud storage marketplace where hosts compete to offer the best service at the lowest price. And since there is no barrier to entry for hosts, anyone with spare storage capacity can join the network and start making money.
The python wrapper works with Python 2.6+ and Python 3.2+.
The easiest way to get the latest stable release is to grab it from the repository <git@github.com:Fen0l/SiaPy.git> himself using git.
.. code:: bash
git clone git@github.com:Fen0l/SiaPy.git
pip install -r requirements.txt
Or for Python3.2+
.. code:: bash
git clone git@github.com:Fen0l/SiaPy.git
pi3 install -r requirements.txt
from SiaPy import Client
import json
# Connect to the siad API (force_discover will automaticaly try to discover the daemon)
client = Client(endpoint="127.0.0.1:9980", force_discover=True, auth_key="mykey")
# Unlock the wallet
params = {}
params['encryptionpassword'] = "words words words words"
client.post("/wallet/unlock", params)
# Get information about our host
host = client.get("/host")
print(json.loads(host.text))
# Disconnect gateways when the version is below 1.3.x
result = client.get("/gateway").text
gateways = json.loads(result)
for gateway in gateways['peers']:
if gateway['version'] < '1.3.0':
client.post("/gateway/disconnect/{netaddress}".format(netaddress = gateway['netaddress']))All endpoint are listed on their GitHub
Next steps
- Tests (Travis & co)
- Read from config file
- Create local fnc for each endpoint
