Nirvana Labs Avalanche C-Chain Demo

This repository leverages the Nirvana Cloud node services to produce a collection of API calls to a provisioned Avalanche node. This repository should work on Linux kernels. It has not been tested on Windows.

Pre-Reqs

• You have a Nirvana Labs account. Open here.
• You have entered a payment method here.
• You have successfully provisioned an Avalanche Mainnet node here.
• You have the node name and your API key available.

Installation and Usage

• Clone the Repo

git clone https://github.com/grahamlaye/nirvanaLabs.git

• Change directory to repo

cd nirvanaLabs

• OPTIONAL: Create python3 virtual environment

python3 -m venv nirvanaLabs

• OPTIONAL: Activate the new venv

source nirvanaLabs/bin/activate

• Install dependencies from requirements.txt

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

• Run the nvLabs.py script. Upon initial launch this script will secure your apiKey and nodeName in your local hosts keyring manager.

python3 nvLabs.py

• You should see an output similar to the following:

Client ID: 140669013631376 | net_version: {'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'id': 1, 'result': '43114'}
Client ID: 140669013631376 | eth_blockNumber: {'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'id': 1, 'result': '0x2755403'}
Client ID: 140669013631376 | eth_gasPrice: {'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'id': 1, 'result': '0x5d21dba00'}
Client ID: 140669013631376 | eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas: {'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'id': 1, 'result': '0x0'}
Client ID: 140669013631376 | eth_getUncleCountByBlockNumber: {'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'id': 1, 'result': '0x0'}

• The consistent client ID across script invocations indicates the use of connection pooling, efficiently managing TCP/IP connections. Additionally, non-blocking async API calls contribute to faster responses.

• Re-running the script should not prompt you again for your API Key and Node name. These are now secured in your local Keyring manager.
