Aleph.im message specification

Aleph.im Message Specification

This library aims to provide an easy way to create, update and validate messages from Aleph.im.

It mainly consists in pydantic models that provide field type validation and IDE autocompletion for messages.

Status

Currently, only basic type validation is included. Advanced data and signature validation is not included.

In the future, this library would be useful within other projects such as the client library aleph-client.

Usage

import requests
from aleph_message import Message
from pydantic import ValidationError

message_dict = requests.get(ALEPH_API_SERVER + "/api/v0/messages.json?hashes=...").json()

try:
    message = Message(**message_dict)
    print(message.sender)
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e.json())
