blockfrost-python

A Python SDK for Blockfrost.io API.

Getting started •
Installation •
Usage


Getting started
To use this SDK, you first need login into to blockfrost.io create your project to retrieve
your API key.


Installation

$ pip install blockfrost-python


Usage
Using the SDK is pretty straight-forward as you can see from the following examples.
Cardano
from blockfrost import BlockFrostApi, ApiError, ApiUrls

api = BlockFrostApi(
project_id='YOUR API KEY HERE', # or export environment variable BLOCKFROST_PROJECT_ID
# optional: pass base_url or export BLOCKFROST_API_URL to use testnet, defaults to ApiUrls.mainnet.value
base_url=ApiUrls.testnet.value,
)
try:
health = api.health()
print(health) # prints object: HealthResponse(is_healthy=True)
health = api.health(return_type='json') # Can be useful if python wrapper is behind api version
print(health) # prints json: {"is_healthy":True}
health = api.health(return_type='pandas')
print(health) # prints Dataframe: is_healthy
# 0 True


account_rewards = api.account_rewards(
stake_address='stake1ux3g2c9dx2nhhehyrezyxpkstartcqmu9hk63qgfkccw5rqttygt7',
count=20,
)
print(account_rewards[0].epoch) # prints 221
print(len(account_rewards)) # prints 20

account_rewards = api.account_rewards(
stake_address='stake1ux3g2c9dx2nhhehyrezyxpkstartcqmu9hk63qgfkccw5rqttygt7',
count=20,
gather_pages=True, # will collect all pages
)
print(account_rewards[0].epoch) # prints 221
print(len(account_rewards)) # prints 57

address = api.address(
address='addr1qxqs59lphg8g6qndelq8xwqn60ag3aeyfcp33c2kdp46a09re5df3pzwwmyq946axfcejy5n4x0y99wqpgtp2gd0k09qsgy6pz')
print(address.type) # prints 'shelley'
for amount in address.amount:
print(amount.unit) # prints 'lovelace'

except ApiError as e:
print(e)

IPFS
from blockfrost import BlockFrostIPFS, ApiError

ipfs = BlockFrostIPFS(
project_id='YOUR API KEY HERE' # or export environment variable BLOCKFROST_PROJECT_ID
)
file_hash = None
try:
ipfs_object = ipfs.add('./README.md')
file_hash = ipfs_object.ipfs_hash
print(file_hash)
except ApiError as e:
print(e)

try:
with open('./README_downloaded.md', 'w') as file:
file_data = ipfs.gateway(IPFS_path=file_hash).text
file.write(file_data)
except ApiError as e:
print(e)

Verifying Secure Webhook signature
Webhooks enable Blockfrost to push real-time notifications to your application. In order to prevent malicious actor from pretending to be Blockfrost every webhook request is signed. The signature is included in a request's Blockfrost-Signature header. This allows you to verify that the events were sent by Blockfrost, not by a third party.
To learn more about Secure Webhooks, see Secure Webhooks Docs.
You can verify the signature using verifyWebhookSignature function.
Example:
# Example of Python Flask app with /webhook endpoint
# for processing events sent by Blockfrost Secure Webhooks
from flask import Flask, request, json
from blockfrost import verify_webhook_signature, SignatureVerificationError

SECRET_AUTH_TOKEN = "SECRET-WEBHOOK-AUTH-TOKEN"

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/webhook', methods=['POST'])
def webhook():
if request.method == 'POST':
# Validate webhook signature
request_bytes = request.get_data()
try:
verify_webhook_signature(
request_bytes, request.headers['Blockfrost-Signature'], SECRET_AUTH_TOKEN)
except SignatureVerificationError as e:
# for easier debugging you can access passed header and request_body values (e.header, e.request_body)
print('Webhook signature is invalid.', e)
return 'Invalid signature', 403

# Get the payload as JSON
event = request.json

print('Received request id {}, webhook_id: {}'.format(
event['id'], event['webhook_id']))

if event['type'] == "block":
# process Block event
print('Received block hash {}'.format(event['payload']['hash']))
elif event['type'] == "...":
# truncated
else:
# Unexpected event type
print('Unexpected event type {}'.format(event['type']))

return 'Webhook received', 200
else:
return 'POST Method not supported', 405



if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=6666)

Development
Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r rest-requirements.txt

Install package
pip install .

Run integration and unit tests:
pytest

For integration tests you need to set env variable BLOCKFROST_PROJECT_ID_MAINNET
Release workflow
To release the package create a new release via GitHub releases.
This action triggers the automated release workflow that packages and uploads the distribution to PyPI.
