IOTAPyLib

IOTAPyLib is an easy to use wrapper for IOTA API written in Python. It is lightweight and offers all basic functionality of IOTA.

Prerequisites

Requires Python 2.6 or higher.

Usage

To use the library simply import iotawrapper.py from the respective python version folder. Notice there are two folders for Python 2 and Python 3 in the repository.

import iotawrapper.py

and initialize the node server URL

iota = iotawrapper.Api("http://localhost:14265/")

If you want to use a public node add the public server url instead of localhost. You find a list of public nodes on IOTA Support Public Node. Consider that some public nodes do not allow operations like add or remove neighbors. The API returns a 401 error in that case.

The API wrapper library offers the following operations:

• iota.getNodeInfo()
• iota.getNeighbors()
• iota.addNeighbors(neighborsList)
• iota.removeNeighbors(neighborsList)
• iota.getTips()
• iota.findTransactions(addressesList)
• iota.getTrytes(hashesList)
• iota.getInclusionStates(transactionsList, tipsList)
• iota.getBalance(addressesList, threshold)
• iota.getTransactionsToApprove(depth)
• iota.attachToTangle(trunkTransaction, branchTransaction, minWeightMagnitude, trytesList)
• iota.interruptAttachingToTangle()
• iota.broadcastTransactions(trytesList)
• iota.storeTransactions(trytesList)

Example

If you need a single node information you can use this approach

appName = iota.getNodeInfo().appName()

If you need more information from a node, better use this more efficient approach

node = iota.getNodeInfo()
appName = node.appName()
appVersion = node.appVersion()

The package included file test.py shows all possible examples.
