Overview of Api Object
When working with the SDK functions like those in auto-consensus
, the api: Api
parameter is a crucial component. It's an instance of the Polkadot.js API, specifically ApiPromise
, which serves as the gateway to interact with the blockchain node.
Core Components:
-
api.rpc: Contains methods to perform remote procedure calls to the node. These include calls for querying system information, submitting extrinsics, and accessing chain data.
-
api.query: Provides access to the blockchain's runtime storage. You can query on-chain storage items, such as balances, staking information, and module-specific data.
-
api.tx: Allows you to create and submit extrinsics (transactions) to the blockchain. It includes methods for constructing and signing transactions for various pallets/modules.
-
api.consts: Exposes the runtime constants defined in the blockchain's metadata. This includes information like existential deposit, block time, or any constants set by runtime modules.
-
api.types: Contains the type definitions used by the chain, which are crucial for encoding and decoding data correctly.
-
api.events: Provides access to the events emitted by the blockchain, which can be subscribed to for real-time updates.
This code examples might be helpful to understrand api: API object
:
// Getting the current chain header (block height)
const endpoint = 'wss://rpc-0.gemini-3h.subspace.network/ws'
const api = await createConnection(endpoint)
const blockNumber = await api.rpc.chain.getHeader()
console.log('Block Number:', blockNumber.number.toNumber())
All functions that return a SubmittableExtrinsic
can be signed and submitted to the blockchain. Functions returning Promise<T>
should be awaited to retrieve the desired data.
Usage Example
Task: To get the wallet balance on a consensus chain
-
Get the RPC endpoint information for the consensus chain, which is available here.
- For this example, we'll use 'wss://rpc-0.gemini-3h.subspace.network/ws' as the endpoint.
-
Determine which methods are needed to accomplish the task.
createConnection
from@autonomys/auto-utils
to establish a connection to the node.balance
from@autonomys/auto-consensus
to retrieve the wallet balance.
-
Create a
.js
or.ts
file and include the following code.// Required to get the API for the balance function
const { createConnection } = require('@autonomys/auto-utils');
// Required to query the RPC in order to get the balance
const { balance } = require('@autonomys/auto-consensus');
async function getApiInstance() {
// Use the correct, up-to-date endpoint
const endpoint = 'wss://rpc-0.gemini-3h.subspace.network/ws';
const api = await createConnection(endpoint);
return api;
}
async function getWalletBalance() {
try {
// Initialize the API instance
const api = await getApiInstance();
// Replace with your wallet address
const walletAddress = 'st7woZs4wA6F9ssvdg3DzZi6v3s9MB7DXE3LS1fzTQA16nJSP';
// Call the balance function with the API and wallet address
const walletBalance = await balance(api, walletAddress);
console.log('Wallet Balance:', walletBalance);
// Disconnect when done
await api.disconnect();
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error fetching wallet balance:', error);
}
}
getWalletBalance();hinweisReplace 'st7woZs4wA6F9ssvdg3DzZi6v3s9MB7DXE3LS1fzTQA16nJSP' with your actual wallet address.
The createConnection function initializes the API instance connected to the specified endpoint.
-
Save the file and run it using the following command
node ./test-function.js
. You should see the wallet balance printed in the console.
Additional Tips:
-
Async/Await: Both createConnection and balance are asynchronous functions returning promises. Using
await
ensures that the code waits for these operations to complete before proceeding. -
API Disconnection: It's good practice to disconnect from the API when you're done to free up resources.
-
Logging: The script logs the wallet balance to the console. You can modify this to format the output or handle it as needed for your application.
