Wallet API - Calls

The wallet (cli_wallet) requires a running full node to connect to because it does not offer P2P or blockchain capabilities directly.

If you have not set up your wallet yet, you can find more information on the Wallet-CLI Tutorial and the CLI Wallet - FAQ pages.

the brain key in its normalized form

Parameters
  • s: the brain key as supplied by the user

save_wallet_file

void graphene::wallet::wallet_api::save_wallet_file(const string &wallet_filename = "") const

Saves the current wallet to the given filename.

Warning

This does not change the wallet filename that will be used for future writes, so think of this function as ‘Save a Copy As…’ instead of ‘Save As…’. Use set_wallet_filename() to make the filename persist.

Parameters
  • wallet_filename: the filename of the new wallet JSON file to create or overwrite. If wallet_filename is empty, save to the current filename.

This function is used to register an account for which you do not own the private keys. When acting as a registrar, an end user will generate their own private keys and send you the public keys. The registrar will use this function to register the account on behalf of the end user.

See

create_account_with_brain_key()

Return

the signed transaction registering the account

Parameters

  • active: the active key for the new account

  • registrar_account: the account which will pay the fee to register the user

  • referrer_account: the account who is acting as a referrer, and may receive a portion of the user’s transaction fees. This can be the same as the registrar_account if there is no referrer.

  • referrer_percent: the percentage (0 - 100) of the new user’s transaction fees not claimed by the blockchain that will be distributed to the referrer, the rest will be sent to the registrar. Will be multiplied by GRAPHENE_1_PERCENT when constructing the transaction.

  • broadcast: true to broadcast the transaction on the network

upgrade_account

signed_transaction graphene::wallet::wallet_api::upgrade_account(const string &account_name_or_id, bool broadcast) const

signed_transaction graphene::wallet::wallet_api::whitelist_account(const string &authorizing_account, const string &account_to_list, account_whitelist_operation::account_listing new_listing_status, bool broadcast = false) const

Whitelist and blacklist accounts, primarily for transacting in whitelisted assets.

Accounts can freely specify opinions about other accounts, in the form of either whitelisting or blacklisting them. This information is used in chain validation only to determine whether an account is authorized to transact in an asset type which enforces a whitelist, but third parties can use this information for other uses as well, as long as it does not conflict with the use of whitelisted assets.

An asset which enforces a whitelist specifies a list of accounts to maintain its whitelist, and a list of accounts to maintain its blacklist. In order for a given account A to hold and transact in a whitelisted asset S, A must be whitelisted by at least one of S’s whitelist_authorities and blacklisted by none of S’s blacklist_authorities. If A receives a balance of S, and is later removed from the whitelist(s) which allowed it to hold S, or added to any blacklist S specifies as authoritative, A’s balance of S will be frozen until A’s authorization is reinstated.

Return

the signed transaction changing the whitelisting status

Holders of market-issued assests may request a forced settlement for some amount of their asset. This means that the specified sum will be locked by the chain and held for the settlement period, after which time the chain will choose a margin posision holder and buy the settled asset using the margin’s collateral. The price of this sale will be based on the feed price for the market-issued asset being settled. The exact settlement price will be the feed price at the time of settlement with an offset in favor of the margin position, where the offset is a blockchain parameter set in the asset’s bitasset options.

Creates a new user-issued or market-issued asset.

Many options can be changed later using update_asset()

Right now this function is difficult to use because you must provide raw JSON data structures for the options objects, and those include prices and asset ids.

Return

  • symbol: the ticker symbol of the new asset

  • precision: the number of digits of precision to the right of the decimal point, must be less than or equal to 12

  • common: asset options required for all new assets. Note that core_exchange_rate technically needs to store the asset ID of this new asset. Since this ID is not known at the time this operation is created, create this price as though the new asset has instance ID 1, and the chain will overwrite it with the new asset’s ID.

  • bitasset_opts: options specific to BitAssets. This may be null unless the market_issued flag is set in common.flags

  • broadcast: true to broadcast the transaction on the network

update_bitasset

signed_transaction graphene::wallet::wallet_api::update_bitasset(const string &symbol_or_id, const bitasset_options &new_options, bool broadcast = false) const

Update the options specific to a BitAsset.

BitAssets have some options which are not relevant to other asset types. This operation is used to update those options an an existing BitAsset.

See

update_asset()

Return

the signed transaction updating the bitasset

Parameters
  • symbol_or_id: the symbol or id of the asset to update, which must be a market-issued asset

  • new_options: the new bitasset_options object, which will entirely replace the existing options.

  • broadcast: true to broadcast the transaction on the network

update_asset_feed_producers

signed_transaction graphene::wallet::wallet_api::update_asset_feed_producers(const string &symbol_or_id, const flat_set<string> &new_feed_producers, bool broadcast = false) const

Update the set of feed-producing accounts for a BitAsset.

BitAssets have price feeds selected by taking the median values of recommendations from a set of feed producers. This command is used to specify which accounts may produce feeds for a given BitAsset.

Return

the signed transaction updating the bitasset’s feed producers

Parameters
  • symbol_or_id: the symbol or id of the asset to update

  • new_feed_producers: a list of account names or ids which are authorized to produce feeds for the asset. this list will completely replace the existing list

  • broadcast: true to broadcast the transaction on the network

publish_asset_feed

signed_transaction graphene::wallet::wallet_api::publish_asset_feed(const string &publishing_account, const string &symbol_or_id, const price_feed &feed, bool broadcast = false) const

Publishes a price feed for the named asset.

Price feed providers use this command to publish their price feeds for market-issued assets. A price feed is used to tune the market for a particular market-issued asset. For each value in the feed, the median across all committee_member feeds for that asset is calculated and the market for the asset is configured with the median of that value.

The feed object in this command contains three prices: a call price limit, a short price limit, and a settlement price. The call limit price is structured as (collateral asset) / (debt asset) and the short limit price is structured as (asset for sale) / (collateral asset). Note that the asset IDs are opposite to eachother, so if we’re publishing a feed for USD, the call limit price will be CORE/USD and the short limit price will be USD/CORE. The settlement price may be flipped either direction, as long as it is a ratio between the market-issued asset and its collateral.

Return

the signed transaction updating the price feed for the given asset

Parameters
  • publishing_account: the account publishing the price feed

  • symbol_or_id: the symbol or id of the asset whose feed we’re publishing
