An example project for reading API3 data feeds

API3 data feed reader example

An example project for reading API3 data feeds

Instructions

• Install dependencies

yarn

• Create a .env file similar to example.env

echo 'MNEMONIC="bike north stone..."' > .env

• Browse market.api3.org and find a data feed you like
• Fund the data feed (unless it is already funded)
• Deploy the proxy to the data feed (unless it is already deployed)
• Copy the address of the proxy
• Deploy DataFeedReaderExample. See the command below, but use your own NETWORK and PROXY values. See the supported networks section for valid NETWORK values. See below for zkSync.

NETWORK=polygon-testnet PROXY=0x26690F9f17FdC26D419371315bc17950a0FC90eD yarn deploy

• Have DataFeedReaderExample read from the proxy. See the command below, but use your own NETWORK value.

NETWORK=polygon-testnet yarn read-data-feed

Note about zkSync

This repo does not support deploying contracts on zkSync, which is why yarn deploy will fail. Instead, you can test the proxy by reading from it directly. See the command below, but use your own NETWORK and PROXY values.

NETWORK=zksync-goerli-testnet PROXY=0x28ce555ee7a3daCdC305951974FcbA59F5BdF09b yarn read-direct

Local development and testing

@api3/contracts provides a MockProxy contract for local development testing. See the tests for its usage, and run the tests with

yarn test

Advanced

Deploy a DapiProxy programmatically

Instructions have you use API3 Market to deploy a DapiProxy. To do it programmatically, see the command below, but use your own NETWORK and DAPI_NAME values.

NETWORK=polygon-testnet DAPI_NAME=ETH/USD yarn deploy-dapi-proxy

You can see the valid dAPI names on API3 Market.

Deploy a DataFeedProxy programmatically

WARNING: DapiProxy reads a data feed whose composition is managed by API3, and using it is essentially outsourcing data feed curation to API3. DataFeedProxy reads a data feed whose composition is immutable, which is fully trust-minimized when used with first-party oracles. However, this also means when there is something wrong with the composition of the DataFeedProxy you are using, you will need to deploy a new one and switch to that, i.e., you will need to do your own data feed curation. Do not prefer DataFeedProxy over DapiProxy unless you understand the distinction and are capable of managing your own data feeds.

See the command below, but use your own NETWORK and DATA_FEED_ID values.

NETWORK=polygon-testnet DATA_FEED_ID=0x4385954e058fbe6b6a744f32a4f89d67aad099f8fb8b23e7ea8dd366ae88151d yarn deploy-data-feed-proxy

See https://github.com/nodaryio/examples for a more detailed example.

Update the proxy address of DataFeedReaderExample

You can update the proxy that your DataFeedReaderExample reads from.

• Follow the instructions
• Deploy a new proxy
• See the command below, but use your own NETWORK and PROXY values

NETWORK=polygon-testnet PROXY=0xe5Cf15fED24942E656dBF75165aF1851C89F21B5 yarn update-proxy
