web3client 1.2.8

Batteries-included client to interact with blockchains and smart contracts

Batteries-included client to interact with blockchains and smart contracts; used by web3cli and crabada.py.

Features

• Easily create a client to interact with EVM-compatible chains
• Interact with the most popular chains: Ethereum, Binance, Avalanche, Arbitrum One, zkSync Era, and more to come!
• Interact with tokens and ETH with the same dual interface
• Includes a client for Compound V2 operations, and its clones
• Subscribe to pending transactions in the mempool and new blocks.
• Save gas by setting an upper limit on the base fee.
• Need more flexibility? Use directly the underlying web3.py client.

Install

pip3 install -U web3client

Examples

Get the latest block on supported blockchains:

from web3factory.factory import make_client

eth_block = make_client("eth").get_latest_block() # Ethereum
bnb_block = make_client("bnb").get_latest_block() # BNB chain
avax_block = make_client("avax").get_latest_block() # Avalanche
arb_block = make_client("arb").get_latest_block() # Arbitrum
era_block = make_client("era").get_latest_block() # zkSync Era

Get the ETH and USDC balances of the Ethereum foundation:

from web3factory.factory import make_client, make_erc20_client

address = "0xde0b295669a9fd93d5f28d9ec85e40f4cb697bae"
eth = make_client("eth").get_balance_in_eth(address)
usdc = make_erc20_client("USDC", "eth").balanceOf(address) / 10**6

Get the BNB and BUSD balances of Binance's hot wallet:

from web3factory.factory import make_client, make_erc20_client

address = "0x8894e0a0c962cb723c1976a4421c95949be2d4e3"
bnb = make_client("bnb").get_balance_in_eth(address)
busd = make_erc20_client("BUSD", "bnb").balanceOf(address) / 10**18

Please have a look at the tests folder or at the examples folder 🙂

Custom chains & contracts

The factory module only allows to interact with a small list of chains and contracts.

To interact with an arbitrary EVM chain or smart contract, instantiate a custom client using the BaseClient class.

For a more structured approach, use web3core, a sub-package of web3cli that comes with many preloaded chains, and allows to import chains and smart contracts dynamically.

web3test test suite

web3client comes with several pytest plugins you can use to test your scripts:

• web3test-ape: fixtures of accounts and smart contracts (erc20, compound, etc)
• web3test-web3client: fixtures of clients for various smart contracts
• web3test-web3factory: fixtures of clients for various chains

To use one or more plugins in your script, add the following lines at the top of your `conftest.py``:

pytest_plugins = [
    "web3test-ape", "web3test-web3client", "web3test-web3factory"
]

The order of the plugins in the aray is important.

It doesn't work 😡

Don't panic! Instead...
