A minimal, yet complete, python API forEtherscan.io. Available onPyPI.

All FREE and PRO endpoints are provided.

Powered byEtherscan.io APIs.

The following endpoints are provided:

If you think that a newly-added method is missing, kindly open anissue as a feature request and I will do my best to add it.

Before proceeding, you should register an account onEtherscan.io andgenerate a personal API key to use.

If you wish to have access to the PRO endpoints, you should obtain elevated privileges via Etherscan's subscription service.

Assumingconda is already installed on your system, first create the environment:

conda env create -f env.yml

Activate the environment:

conda activate etherscan-python

Then, install the package:

pip install.

Alternatively, you can install it fromPyPI:

pip install etherscan-python

Inbash, test that everything looks OK on your end using yourYOUR_API_KEY (without quotation marks) before proceeding:

bash run_tests.sh YOUR_API_KEY

This will regenerate the logs underlogs/ with the most recent results and the timestamp of the execution.

Inpython, create a client with your personalEtherscan.io API key:

frometherscanimportEtherscanapi_key=YOUR_API_KEY# use quotation marks because it is a Python stringconfig_path="configs/stable.json"eth=Etherscan.from_config(config_path,api_key)

Then you can call all available methods, e.g.:

eth.get_eth_balance(address="0xddbd2b932c763ba5b1b7ae3b362eac3e8d40121a")>'40891631566070000000000'

Examples (arguments and results) for all methods may be found as JSON fileshere. For example, if you want to use the methodget_block_number_by_timestamp, you can find the supported arguments and the format of its output in its respectiveJSON file:

{"method":"get_block_number_by_timestamp","module":"blocks","kwargs": {"timestamp":"1578638524","closest":"before"  },"log_timestamp":"2020-10-28-12:34:44","res":"9251482"}

wherekwargs refer to the required named arguments andres refers to the expected result if you were to run:

eth.get_block_number_by_timestamp(timestamp="1578638524",closest="before")>'9251482'

Disclaimer: Those examples blindly use the arguments originally showcasedhere and the selected wallets/contracts do not reflect any personal preference. You should refer to the same source for additional information regarding specific argument values.

For problems regarding installing or using the package please open anissue. Kindly avoid disclosing potentially sensitive information such as your API keys or your wallet addresses.
