EtherScan.io API python bindings
This module is written as an effort to provide python bindings to the EtherScan.io API, which can be found at: https://etherscan.io/apis. If you are interacting with a contract on the Ropsten Testnet please use https://ropsten.etherscan.io/apis. In order to use this, you must attain an Etherscan user account, and generate an API key.
In order to use the API, you must provide an API key at runtime, which can be found at the Etherscan.io API website.
If you'd like to use the provided examples without altering them, then the JSON file api_key.json
must be stored in
the base directory. Its format is as follows:
{ "key" : "YourApiKeyToken" }
with YourApiKeyToken
is your provided API key token from EtherScan.io
To install the package to your computer, simply run the following command in the base directory:
python setup.py install
Currently, only the following Etherscan.io API modules are available:
- accounts
- contracts
- stats
- tokens
- proxies
The remaining available modules provided by Etherscan.io will be added eventually...
Currently, this works for the following networks:
- Mainnet
- Ropsten
All possible calls have an associated example file in the examples folder to show how to call the binding
These of course will be fleshed out with more details and explanation in time
Jupyter notebooks area also included in each directory to show all examples
- Package and submit to PyPI
- Add the following modules:
- event logs
- geth proxy
- websockets
- Add robust documentation
- Add unit test suite
- Add request throttling based on Etherscan's suggestions
