Privex Golos Python documentation

Privex Logo

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
