Getting Started

Set up your Python 3.12 virtual environment:

python3.12 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip

Install the SDK using pip:
```
pip install saline-sdk
```

Initialize the SDK with your node URL:

import asyncio
from saline_sdk import Client

async def main():
    client = Client(http_url="https://node0.try-saline.com")
    try:
        status = await client.get_status()  # Await the async function
        print(f"Connected to node: {status['node_info']['moniker']} @ {status['node_info']['network']} (Block: {status['sync_info']['latest_block_height']})")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Failed to connect or get status: {e}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

See the Quickstart guide for more detailed instructions.

Version Compatibility

Requires Python 3.12 (any minor version), i.e., Python ≥3.12.0 and <3.13. Designed to work with Saline nodes running version ≥ 0.1.0.
