ethereumd-proxy

Proxy client-server for Ethereum node using JSON-RPC interface.

Why?

Mostly popular cryptocurrencies usually are forks of Bitcoin and all of them support Bitcoin protocol for communication with their full nodes. Ethereum go hard by own way and made own API for that. This library is a proxy to Ethereum node which implement many API methods like in bitcoind. Also it have signals like blocknotify and walletnotify. All these features are implemented by ethereumd-proxy using polling and other techniques behind the scene.

Installation

Python 3.5+ required.

First you need Geth/Parity or any other ethereum node (for listening). Tested on Geth 1.6.7 and used in production.

Installation

.. code:: bash

$ pip install ethereumd-proxy

Usage

It is the same as bitcoin-cli. Except it is not a node runner, just simple proxy for listening actual node.

Available command list:

.. code:: bash

$ ethereum-cli -help

To start proxy server use:

.. code:: bash

$ ethereum-cli -datadir= -daemon

To stop server:

.. code:: bash

$ ethereum-cli -datadir= stop

Also can be used as python client connector:

.. code:: python

import asyncio
import ethereumd

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

async def go():
    client = await ethereumd.create_ethereumd_proxy(
        'http://localhost:8545', loop=loop)

    val = await client.validateaddress('0x6cace0528324a8afc2b157ceba3cdd2a27c4e21f')
    print(val)  # will print {'isvalid': True, 'address': '0x6cace0528324a8afc2b157ceba3cdd2a27c4e21f', 'scriptPubKey': 'hex', 'ismine': False, 'iswatchonly': False, 'isscript': False, 'pubkey': '0x6cace0528324a8afc2b157ceba3cdd2a27c4e21f', 'iscompressed': False, 'timestamp': None}

    address = await client.getnewaddress(passphrase='admin')
    print(address)  # will print address like '0x137dd92be1d986eb3af023d0fb6fa8436c3ee5f8'

loop.run_until_complete(go())

Planned add more methods as soon as possible. Read help of some method first before use!

Sample of ethereum.conf
