InfuraRuby

Ruby gem to wrap the INFURA API which gives HTTP API access to ethereum and IPFS nodes. The API uses the same format as the JSON RPC spec for normal ethereum nodes.

For now, I only need the getBalance call and so that is all I have built. Feel free to add the rest of the functionality or I may get to it over time...

Usage

Installation

gem install infura_ruby

require 'infura_ruby'

# create a client object
infura = InfuraRuby.client(api_key: key)

# get the balance (in wei) of an address
infura.get_balance('0x81F631b8615EaB75d38DaC4d4bce4A5b63e10310') #=> 591686024850016

# This can be qualified with 4 different tags to get the balance at the tag's time.
# 'latest'   - latest balance (default) with at least 1 confirmation
# 'pending'  - balance including pending transactions
# 'earliest' - balance at the time of the genesis block or earliest known block
# '0x123'    - balance at the time of chain height `0x123` (hex string)

# balance including unconfirmed transactions
infura.get_balance('0x81F631b8615EaB75d38DaC4d4bce4A5b63e10310', tag: 'pending')
