TON Client

TON SDK Client library Python bindings. Works for Python 3.6+

Installation

Create python virtual environment using pipenv or virtualenv
Activate created environment
Run pip install ton-client-py

If you encounter problems while installing aiounittest just skip this step. It is needed only for running asyncio test.

Tests

Create python virtual environment using pipenv or virtualenv and activate it
Clone git repository and enter it
Run python setup.py install
Run python -m unittest

Client

Core client library has sync and async request modes. Some core methods are available only in async request mode and this mode is more prefferable, so python client is created with async core requests by default.

Create client

from tonclient.client import TonClient

client = TonClient()

# If you need sync core requests for some reason
client_sync_core = TonClient(is_core_async=False)

Client is created with default config

{
    'network': {
        'server_address': 'http://localhost',
        'message_retries_count': 5,
        'message_processing_timeout': 40000,
        'wait_for_timeout': 40000,
        'out_of_sync_threshold': 15000,
        'access_key': ''
    },
    'crypto': {
        'fish_param': ''
    },
    'abi': {
        'message_expiration_timeout': 40000,
        'message_expiration_timeout_grow_factor': 1.5
    }
}

You can override initial config while creating a client

from tonclient.client import TonClient, DEVNET_BASE_URL

client = TonClient(network={'server_address': DEVNET_BASE_URL}, abi={'message_expiration_timeout': 30000})
version = client.version()

Client contains all core modules and its' methods. You can get full list of modules and methods here: https://github.com/tonlabs/TON-SDK/blob/master/docs/modules.md
Module method is called by template client.[module].[method]

from tonclient.client import TonClient, DEVNET_BASE_URL

client = TonClient(network={'server_address': DEVNET_BASE_URL})

# Generate random signing keys
keypair = client.crypto.generate_random_sign_keys()
# Parse account
parsed = client.boc.parse_account(boc='Account base64 BOC')

You always can get information about method and its' arguments in method docstring.

Net module and GraphQL queries

To create GraphQL query for net module methods use builtin factory.
collection and result are required for all queries, other filters are optional.

from tonclient.net import TonQLQuery

# Create query collection
query = TonQLQuery(collection='messages')

# Set filter
# `set_filter` methods accepts any number of kwargs for filtering data.
# kwarg name contains field name and condition separated by __.
# E.g. field__gt=111 is equal to GraphQL {'field': {'gt': 111}}
query = query.set_filter(field__gt=111, field__eq='0:')

# Set result
query = query.set_result('id boc')
# or you can set result fields as separate args
query = query.set_result('id', 'boc')
# or you can combine all of this
query = query.set_result('id boc', 'field')

# Set order (you can pass arguments in the same way as for `set_result`)
query = query.set_order('created_at')  # ASC sorting
query = query.set_order('-created_at')  # DESC sorting

# Set limit
query = query.set_limit(5)

Methods with events

Some library methods net.subscribe_collection, proccessing.send_message, processing.wait_for_transaction, processing.process_message may return either result or generator.

net.subscribe_collection always returns a generator
proccessing.send_message, processing.wait_for_transaction, processing.process_message return generator only if send_events argument is set to True

Please, dig in tonclient/test/test_net.py, tonclient/test/test_processing.py to get example how to work with generators.

Client and asyncio

from tonclient.client import TonClient, DEVNET_BASE_URL

# Create client with `is_async=True` argument.
client = TonClient(network={'server_address': DEVNET_BASE_URL}, is_async=True)

# Get version (simple method with result)
version = await client.version()

# Generators
generator = client.net.subscribe_collection(query=TonQLQuery)
async for event in generator:
    # Work with event
    pass

Please, dig in tonclient/test/test_async.py to get more info.
