A collection of community scripts to access public Tezos API and collect data from it.

• sudo apt-get install git
• git clone https://github.com/hclivess/tezos_api_noobs
• sudo apt-get install Python3.9
• sudo apt install python3-pip
• sudo Python3.9 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
• sudo Python3.9 [filename].py

All .json files are just structured examples of individual operations for easy navigation in element identification.

There are two types of data structures in this API:

• introduced with []
• example: ["hello", 100, 500, "world"]

• list[0] returns "hello"
• list[1] returns 100
• list[2] returns 500
• list[3] returns "world"

• introduced with {}
• example: {"operation": "sell", "name": "john", "age": 50}

• dictionary["operation"] returns "sell"
• dictionary["name"] returns "john"
• dictionary["age"] returns 50

What API usually returns are combined and nested data structures, simplified examples:

• [{transactions: ["{"name": "transaction1", "value": 50}, {"name": "transaction2", "value": 50}}]

To see how this is done in practice, open individual Python files in this directory. Examples returned for each of this files are stored in the corresponding json files. To format a json file to make it more readable, try a service like curiousconcept url formatter.
