Quickstart

Note

All code starting with a $ is meant to run on your terminal. All code starting with a >>> is meant to run in a python interpreter, like ipython.

Installation

Paloma SDK can be installed (preferably in a :ref:`virtualenv <setup_environment>`) using pip as follows:

$ pip install paloma-sdk

Note

If you run into problems during installation, you might have a broken environment. See the troubleshooting guide to :ref:`setting up a clean environment <setup_environment>`.

Using Paloma SDK

In order to interact with the Paloma blockchain, you'll need a connection to a Paloma node. This can be done through setting up an LCDClient:

from paloma_sdk.client.lcd import LCDClient

paloma = LCDClient(chain_id="columbus-5", url="https://lcd.paloma.dev")
print(paloma.tendermint.node_info())

Getting Blockchain Info

It's time to start using Paloma SDK! Once properly configured, the LCDClient instance will allow you to interact with the Paloma blockchain. Try getting the latest block height:

>>> paloma.tendermint.block_info()['block']['header']['height']
'1687543'

Paloma SDK can help you read block data, sign and send transactions, deploy and interact with contracts, and a number of other features.
