pip install scrape-721
You must ensure the $RPC_URL variable is set in the environment. You may set it directly, or via a .env file in the root directory:
# .env
RPC_URL=<your_rpc_url>
Alternatively, you can specify the $RPC_URL directly on script initialization, with the --rpc-url flag.
python -m scrape_721 --rpc-url
You must define the $RPC_URL in one of these ways or the script will fail.
The package uses redis caching to drastically speed up the scrape operations. (Caching already queried account balances)
This means in order to run with the default settings, you must have a local redis instance available, accessible via localhost.
If no redis instance is present, the script will fail to initialise. If you wish to indeed run the script without using redis, use the --no-cache flag.
python -m scrape_721 --help
python -m scrape_721 <contract_address>
python -m scrape_721 <contract_address> --from-block <block_number>
python -m scrape_721 <contract_address> --from-block <block_number> --to-block <block_number>
By default output files are placed in the root directory. To define the output path, use the --path argument.
This section is about how you can use the package utilities to simplify some of your own scripts.
from scrape_721.contract_utils import configure, is_contract, supports_erc_721
Before using any of the available helper functions, you must first call the configure function.
configure()
# OR
configure(my_rpc_url)
The first variety assumes that (like the CLI above) the $RPC_URL variable is available in the environment. The second allows you to pass it in directly.
# Returns True/False if supplied address (a string) is a contract
is_contract(my_ethereum_address)
# Returns True/False if supplied address supports ERC-721
supports_erc_721(my_ethereum_address)
