Utility library for XE index API
- Usage
- Contributing
- License
This library provides a collection of simple functions for querying the XE blockchain indexing API, which provides access to indexed blockchain data including wallet transactions, balances, blocks, and more.
API functions expect a
host
URL for the index API to be provided as the first argument. This must be provided without a trailing slash. The standard URLs are:
- Mainnet: https://index.xe.network
- Testnet: https://index.test.network
Code examples are included below for your guidance. Mind that these examples are not comprehensive and many support additional parameters.
Use the block
component to query blocks.
block.blocks()
gets a list of blocks.
require('@edge/index-utils').block.blocks('https://index.xe.network')
.then(blocks => {
console.log(blocks)
})
block.block()
gets a block by its hash or height.
require('@edge/index-utils').block.block('https://index.xe.network', 0)
.then(block => {
console.log(block)
})
Use the burn
component to query burns.
burn.burns()
gets a list of burns.
require('@edge/index-utils').burn.burns('https://index.xe.network')
.then(burns => {
console.log(burns)
})
burn.burn()
retrieves a single burn by its hash.
require('@edge/index-utils').burn.burn('https://index.xe.network', '46e5631c4d711e9c3a56d8672446ba2b569efbcbff0a82ad579fe5f8660e8954')
.then(burn => {
console.log(burn)
})
burn.stats()
retrieves network stats for burns, including burn counts and burn amounts for all time and last 30 days.
require('@edge/index-utils').burn.stats('https://index.xe.network')
.then(stats => {
console.log(stats)
})
Use the exchangeRate
component to query exchange rate data.
exchangeRate.current()
gets the current exchange rate data.
require('@edge/index-utils').exchangeRate.current('https://index.xe.network')
.then(xr => {
console.log(xr)
})
Use the gasRate
component to query gas rate data.
gasRate.current()
gets the current gas rate data.
require('@edge/index-utils').gasRate.current('https://index.xe.network')
.then(gr => {
console.log(gr)
})
Use the session
component to query devices on the network.
session.sessions()
gets the latest session for each device on the network, which can be filtered by wallet address.
require('@edge/index-utils').session.sessions('https://index.xe.network')
.then(sessions => {
console.log(sessions)
})
Filter by wallet address:
require('@edge/index-utils').session.sessions('https://index.xe.network', 'xe_3F129e50310Ab4db5e3C7Eb79e177A40a8e9D319')
.then(sessions => {
console.log(sessions)
})
session.session()
gets the current or most recent session for a given device address.
This is not a working example; a valid XE address is required.
require('@edge/index-utils').session.session('https://index.xe.network', 'xe_a1b2c3...')
.then(session => {
console.log(session)
})
session.map()
gets an anonymised geolocation list, suitable for mapping.
require('@edge/index-utils').session.map('https://index.xe.network')
.then(locations => {
console.log(locations)
})
Use the stake
component to query stakes and their history.
stake.stakes()
gets a list of stakes, which can be filtered by wallet address.
require('@edge/index-utils').stake.stakes('https://index.xe.network')
.then(stakes => {
console.log(stakes)
})
Filter by wallet address:
require('@edge/index-utils').stake.stakes('https://index.xe.network', 'xe_3F129e50310Ab4db5e3C7Eb79e177A40a8e9D319')
.then(stakes => {
console.log(stakes)
})
stake.stake()
gets a single stake by ID.
require('@edge/index-utils').stake.stake('https://index.xe.network', 'de189ce46ca195a10346a884fb974b3104dcddfaeefd1e20c577e6b19b54bf09')
.then(stake => {
console.log(stake)
})
Be aware that a stake's ID is different than its hash. A stake's hash changes every time it is modified by an action. However, its ID always stays the same. You will normally use hash when querying the blockchain, and ID when querying the index.
stake.deviceStake()
gets information about the stake for a given device address.
This is not a working example; a valid XE address is required.
require('@edge/index-utils').stake.deviceStake('https://index.xe.network', 'xe_a1b2c3...')
.then(info => {
console.log(info)
})
stake.history()
gets the history for a single stake. This provides insight into changes to a stake.
require('@edge/index-utils').stake.history('https://index.xe.network', 'de189ce46ca195a10346a884fb974b3104dcddfaeefd1e20c577e6b19b54bf09')
.then(history => {
console.log(history)
})
Use the token
component to query token data.
token.current()
gets the current token value.
require('@edge/index-utils').token.current('https://index.xe.network')
.then(tv => {
console.log(tv)
})
There are two forms of this method:
token.daily()
gets the token value for the last week at the end of each day (for the current date, the most recent value available)token.lastWeek()
gets the token value for the last week at approximately the current time each day
Both return the same data structure.
require('@edge/index-utils').token.daily('https://index.xe.network')
.then(tvs => {
console.log(tvs)
})
Use the tx
component to query transactions.
tx.transactions()
gets a list of transactions, which can be filtered by wallet address.
require('@edge/index-utils').tx.transactions('https://index.xe.network')
.then(txs => {
console.log(txs)
})
Filter by wallet address:
require('@edge/index-utils').tx.transactions('https://index.xe.network', 'xe_ed9e05C9c85Ec8c46c333111a1C19035b5ECba99')
.then(txs => {
console.log(txs)
})
tx.transaction()
retrieves a single transaction by its hash.
require('@edge/index-utils').tx.transaction('https://index.xe.network', '46e5631c4d711e9c3a56d8672446ba2b569efbcbff0a82ad579fe5f8660e8954')
.then(tx => {
console.log(tx)
})
Use the wallet
component to query wallets.
wallet.wallets()
gets a list of wallets.
require('@edge/index-utils').wallet.wallets('https://index.xe.network')
.then(wallets => {
console.log(wallets)
})
wallet.wallet()
gets a wallet by its address.
require('@edge/index-utils').wallet.wallet('https://index.xe.network', 'xe_ed9e05C9c85Ec8c46c333111a1C19035b5ECba99')
.then(wallet => {
console.log(wallet)
})
All API wrapper functions accept a RequestCallback
as their final argument. This can be used to control request behaviour from your own code using SuperAgent's chaining API.
For example, if you wanted to specify a 100ms timeout on a request for transactions, you could do:
const { tx } = require('@edge/index-utils')
async function main() {
let txs = await tx.transactions('https://index.xe.network', undefined, undefined, req => req.timeout(100))
console.log(JSON.stringify(txs))
}
Note that undefined arguments cannot be omitted, as we do not provide overloaded functions in this library. You can write your own wrapper to simplify this if you prefer.
