Supported APIs

TronGridJS allows for easy access to the new v1 APIs provided by TronGrid. Since TronGridJS uses TronWeb as a dependency, you need to initialize TronGridJS with TronWeb as a constructor parameter:

const tronWeb = new TronWeb({
        fullHost: node.HOST,
        privateKey: node.PRIVATE_KEY
    })
const tronGrid = new TronGrid(tronWeb)

Responses & Pagination

Any API will return a response with a success property, a data array, and a meta object. For example, await tronGrid.asset.getAll() will return something like:

{
    "success": true,
    "data": [
        {
            "confirmed": true,
            "id": "1002225",
            "abbr": "DbDsgVP3GRh",
            "description": "KEYS unlock Cryptocurrency. Keys are a digital asset designed to work as medium of exchange.",
            "frozen_supply": [
                {
                    "frozen_days": 730,
                    "frozen_amount": 75926666666
                }
            ],
            "name": "KEYS",
            "num": 22778,
            "precision": 0,
            "total_supply": 227780000000,
            "trx_num": 22778,
            "url": "www.KEYS.crypto.org",
            "vote_score": 0,
            "owner_address": "4149b3dad5ef9dbab6a059fc95159efcecd5db910e",
            "start_time": 1553538720706,
            "end_time": 1553538960706
        },
        ...
    ],
    "meta": {
        "total": 2,
        "at": 1553548776704,
        "fingerprint": "8xuwf4jd2dpoSms5KzLhxY9fmCm9oJA5164Qd7T2SexRSHYCwvRAr2zJGtwJceEcGWz",
        ...
    }
}

As you can see, in the meta fields, there is the fingerprint you must pass to next request as an option in order to get next page.

Usage

Regular Use

Install TronWeb

npm install tronweb

Initialize TronWeb and create a TronGridJS instance

const TronGrid = require('trongrid');
const TronWeb = require('tronweb');

const tronWeb = new TronWeb({
    fullHost: 'https://api.trongrid.io'
});

const tronGrid = new TronGrid(tronWeb);

Example

const TronGrid = require('trongrid');
const TronWeb = require('tronweb');

const tronWeb = new TronWeb({
    fullHost: 'https://api.trongrid.io'
});

const tronGrid = new TronGrid(tronWeb);
tronGrid.setExperimental('your experimental key');

async function getAccount() {
    const address = 'TPL66VK2gCXNCD7EJg9pgJRfqcRazjhUZY';

    const options = {
        Show_assets: true,
        only_confirmed: true,
    };

    // awaiting
    const account = await tronGrid.account.get(address, options);
    console.log({account});

    // promise
    tronGrid.account.get(address, options).then(account => {
        console.log({account});
    }).catch(err => console.error(err));

    // callback
    tronGrid.account.get(address, options, (err, account) => {
        if (err)
            return console.error(err);

        console.log({account});
    });
}

async function getTransactions() {
    const address = 'TPL66VK2gCXNCD7EJg9pgJRfqcRazjhUZY';

    const options = {
        only_to: true,
        only_confirmed: true,
        limit: 100,
        order_by: 'timestamp,asc',
        min_timestamp: Date.now() - 60000 // from a minute ago to go on
    };

    // awaiting
    const transactions = await tronGrid.account.getTransactions(address, options);
    console.log({transactions});

    // promise
    tronGrid.account.getTransactions(address, options).then(transactions => {
        console.log({transactions});
    }).catch(err => console.error(err));

    // callback
    tronGrid.account.getTransactions(address, options, (err, transactions) => {
        if (err)
            return console.error(err);

        console.log({transactions});
    });
}

async function getAssets() {
    const address = 'TXk39yyhzpfbqtU1BATUzpcfQ37L8Tc4Ht';
    const options = {};

    // awaiting
    const assets = await tronGrid.asset.get(address);
    console.log({assets});

    // promise
    tronGrid.asset.get(address, options).then(assets => {
        console.log({assets});
    }).catch(err => console.error(err));

    // callback
    tronGrid.asset.get(address, options, (err, assets) => {
        if (err)
            return console.error(err);

        console.log({assets});
    });
}

getAccount();
getTransactions();
getAssets();

Plugin

You can plug TronGrid in TronWeb to substitute the standard method tronWeb.trx.getTransactionRelated(...) with a method that calls internally tronGrid.account.getTransactions(...).

To use it, the user must register TronGrid as a plugin:

tronWeb.plugin.register(TronGrid);

It may sometimes be necessary to pass some options to the plugin interface. Looking at the test in test/unit/plugin.test.js, you can register the plugin as:

let result = tronWeb.plugin.register(GetNowBlock, {
    someParameter: 'some value'
})

For the MVP, the experimental access code can be passed as an option to the plugin:

tronWeb.plugin.register(TronGrid, {experimental: ... });

After registering the plugin, call:

await tronWeb.trx.getTransactionsFromAddress(address);

and

await tronWeb.trx.getTransactionsToAddress(address);

will return results from TronGrid under the hood.
