# multicall.py python interface for makerdao's [multicall](https://github.com/makerdao/multicall) and a port of [multicall.js](https://github.com/makerdao/multicall.js) ## installation ``` pip install multicall ``` ## example ```python from multicall import Call, Multicall # assuming you are on kovan MKR_TOKEN = '0xaaf64bfcc32d0f15873a02163e7e500671a4ffcd' MKR_WHALE = '0xdb33dfd3d61308c33c63209845dad3e6bfb2c674' MKR_FISH = '0x2dfcedcb401557354d0cf174876ab17bfd6f4efd' def from_wei(value): return value / 1e18 multi = Multicall([ Call(MKR_TOKEN, ['balanceOf(address)(uint256)', MKR_WHALE], [['whale', from_wei]]), Call(MKR_TOKEN, ['balanceOf(address)(uint256)', MKR_FISH], [['fish', from_wei]]), Call(MKR_TOKEN, 'totalSupply()(uint256)', [['supply', from_wei]]), ]) multi() # {'whale': 566437.0921992733, 'fish': 7005.0, 'supply': 1000003.1220798912} # seth-style calls Call(MKR_TOKEN, ['balanceOf(address)(uint256)', MKR_WHALE])() Call(MKR_TOKEN, 'balanceOf(address)(uint256)')(MKR_WHALE) # return values processing Call(MKR_TOKEN, 'totalSupply()(uint256)', [['supply', from_wei]])() ``` for a full example, see implementation of [daistats](https://github.com/banteg/multicall.py/blob/master/examples/daistats.py). original [daistats.com](https://daistats.com) made by [nanexcool](https://github.com/nanexcool/daistats). ## api ### `Signature(signature)` - `signature` is a seth-style function signature of `function_name(input,types)(output,types)`. it also supports structs which need to be broken down to basic parts, e.g. `(address,bytes)[]`. use `encode_data(args)` with input args to get the calldata. use `decode_data(output)` with the output to decode the result. ### `Call(target, function, returns)` - `target` is the `to` address which is supplied to `eth_call`. - `function` can be either seth-style signature of `method(input,types)(output,types)` or a list of `[signature, *args]`. - `returns` is a list of `[name, handler]` for return values. if `returns` argument is omitted, you get a tuple, otherwise you get a dict. to skip processing of a value, pass `None` as a handler. use `Call(...)()` with predefined args or `Call(...)(args)` to reuse a prepared call with different args. use `decode_output(output)` with to decode the output and process it with `returns` handlers. ### `Multicall(calls)` - `calls` is a list of calls with prepared values. use `Multicall(...)()` to get the result of a prepared multicall.
