Pantos Client Library

1. Introduction

1.1 Overview

Welcome to the documentation for Pantos Client Library, a powerful tool for engaging with the Pantos system. This documentation aims to provide developers with comprehensive information on how to use the features offered by the library.

1.2 Features

The Pantos Client Library API exposes the following functionalities:

Loading the private key from a keystore file
Retrieve the service node bids
Retrieve the balance of a token
Transfer tokens
Deploy PANDAS tokens

2. Installation

2.1 Prerequisites

Please make sure that your development environment meets the following requirements:

Keystore File (Wallet)

The library requires a private key encrypted with a password.

Since, for the moment, the Pantos protocol supports only EVM blockchains, only an Ethereum account keystore file is sufficient. It can be created with tools such as https://vanity-eth.tk/.

One of the most significant advantages of using Pantos is that the protocol has been designed to require minimal user friction when cross-chain operations are performed. Therefore, when using the Pantos products, you must top up your wallet only with PAN tokens.

Python Version

The Pantos Client Library supports Python 3.10 or higher. Ensure that you have the correct Python version installed before the installation steps. You can download the latest version of Python from the official Python website.

2.2 Pypi package

The Pantos Client Library is available as a package from Pypi.

$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip install pantos-client-library

2.3 Source code

The Pantos Client Library has been tested with the library versions specified in poetry.lock.

Poetry

Poetry is our tool of choice for dependency management and packaging.

Installing: https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installing-with-the-official-installer or https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installing-with-pipx

You can use the following lines to install poetry using virtualenv.

$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip install poetry

By default poetry creates the venv directory under under {cache-dir}/virtualenvs. If you opt for creating the virtualenv inside the project’s root directory, execute the following command:

poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true

Clone the repository

Clone the repository to your local machine:

$ git clone https://github.com/pantos-io/client-library.git
$ cd client-library

Libraries

Install the project dependencies:

$ poetry install --no-root

3. Usage

3.1 Configuration

The configuration can be found in client-library.yml.

The library already has a set configuration for our testnet environment, but feel free to adapt it to your needs.

3.2 Examples

The api.py exposes the public functions of the library.

The following example leverages all the functionalities of the library:
