Privex Golos Python documentation¶

Welcome to the documentation for Privex’s Golos Python Library - an open source Python 3 library designed for interacting with the GOLOS Classic and potentially the GOLOS network.

This documentation is automatically kept up to date by ReadTheDocs, as it is automatically re-built each time a new commit is pushed to the Github Project

QuickStart¶

To install golos-python - simply download it using pip, just like any other package :)

pip3 install golos-python

For alternative installation methods, see Installation

Below are some common examples for using the library:

from golos import Api

# The ``nodes`` parameter is optional. By default it will use the node list specified in ``golos.storage.nodes``
golos = Api(nodes=['wss://golosd.privex.io', 'wss://api.golos.blckchnd.com/ws'])

###
# Get account information + balances
###

accounts = golos.get_accounts(['someguy123'])
acc = accounts[0]
print(acc['owner'])
# 'someguy123'

print('GOLOS:', acc['GOLOS'], 'GBG:', acc['GBG'])
# GOLOS: 157560.231 GBG: 6420.916

###
# Get witness information
###

witness = golos.get_witness_by_account(account='someguy123')
print(witness['url'])
# 'https://golos.io/ru--delegaty/@someguy123/delegat-someguy123'

###
# Get account history
###

history = golos.get_account_history(account='someguy123')

print(history[0])
# {'account': 'huso', 'witness': 'someguy123', 'approve': False, 'number': 127286, 'block': 30494335,
#  'timestamp': '2019-09-17T14:20:21', 'type_op': 'account_witness_vote'}

###
# Transfer GOLOS / GBG to another account
#
# WARNING: To reduce the risk of rounding errors, pass the amount as either a string or a Decimal() - avoid float's!
###

tf = golos.transfer(
    to='ksantoprotein', amount='0.1', asset='GOLOS', from_account='someguy123',
    wif='5Jq19TeeVmGrBFnu32oxfxQMiipnSCKmwW7fZGUVLAoqsKJ9JwP', memo='this is an example transfer'
)

print('TXID:', tf['id'], 'Block:', tf['block_num'])
# TXID: c901c52daf57b60242d9d7be67f790e023cf2780 Block: 30895436

Installation¶

Download and install from PyPi using pip (recommended)¶

pip3 install golos-python

(Alternative) Manual install from Git¶

Option 1 - Use pip to install straight from Github

pip3 install git+https://github.com/Privex/golos-python

Option 2 - Clone and install manually

# Clone the repository from Github
git clone https://github.com/Privex/golos-python
cd golos-python

# RECOMMENDED MANUAL INSTALL METHOD

pip3 install .

# ALTERNATIVE MANUAL INSTALL METHOD
# If you don't have pip, or have issues with installing using it, then you can use setuptools instead.
python3 setup.py install

Code / API Documentation¶

`golos`	Golos Python Library (golos-python) - Developed by Privex Inc.
`golos.api`	This is the main module for the GOLOS library, containing the class `Api` which is the high-level class to be used when interacting with python-golos.
`golos.base58`	Contains `Base58` and various helper functions for working with Base58 public/private keys used on blockchains such as GOLOS and STEEM.
`golos.broadcast`
`golos.exceptions`	Various Python exceptions which may be used throughout this GOLOS library.
`golos.key`
`golos.operations`	Contains the attribute `type_op` which maps each transaction operation to a list of arguments and their types.
`golos.storage`	`golos.storage` contains various configuration options which are used throughout the library.
`golos.types`	Contains various GOLOS type classes which are used within `operations` for specifying operation arguments and their types.
`golos.ws_client`	Copyright.

Unit Tests¶

Privex Golos-Python Unit Tests

To run these tests:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pytest -v tests.py

Enabling extra logging output:

If you want to see the logging output of the library, use the DEBUG environment variable, and execute tests.py directly (not via pytest, as pytest will filter out the log messages):

DEBUG=true ./tests.py -vv
