Functions

In this section you can find non-calss related functions and their description.

Note

In the methods documentation 1bitcoinaddress, txhash and blockhash are used instead of real addresses, transaction hashes and blocks hashes. If you want to try the examples listed below, you have to use real values.

libchain.tobtc(_currency, _value)

When a currency symbol (USD, EUR, JPY, …) and a value are given, the amount is converted in bitcoin at the actual exchange rate

Examples:

>>>> libchain.tobtc('EUR', 100)
0.01783487

libchain.exchangerate()

Return a dictionary with the actual exchange rate of the most famous currencies

Examples:

>>>> libchain.exchangerate()
{'USD': {'15m': 6508.15, 'last': 6508.15, 'buy': 6508.15, 'sell': 6508.15, 'symbol': '$'},
 'AUD': {'15m': 8740.46, 'last': 8740.46, 'buy': 8740.46, 'sell': 8740.46, 'symbol': '$'},
 ...}

libchain.lasthash()

Return the hash of the last block added to the chain

Examples:

>>>> libchain.lasthash()
blockhash

libchain.poolblocks(_pool_name)

When the name (case sensitive) of a mining pool is given, the latest blocks mined in that pool are returned as list

Examples:

>>>> libchain.poolblocks('AntPool')
['000000000000000000195caa1b5c7aa8bd94b0b8866e8fecf1d9ef61b1d5c97d',
 '00000000000000000034fce45130415766495ad4ee58daa8a1404d499b2c2203',
 '0000000000000000000616c5ae17d51c5d903c9b79c187c189849cd1b8bce161',
 ...]

libchain.dayblocks(_time)

When the time (in milliseconds) of a day is given, the blocks mined in that day are returned as list

Examples:

>>>> lc.dayblocks('1529176182')
[]

Note

I’m not sure this is working right now, need more investigation

libchain.unconfirmedtx()

Return a list of the latest unconfirmed transactions

Examples:

>>>> for tx in lc.unconfirmedtx():
...     print(tx)
...
