Querying MESC data
Each MESC implementation provides the same set of 7 functions for querying MESC data.
The behavior of these functions is the same across languages.
| function | output type | description | example call |
|---|---|---|---|
is_mesc_enabled() | bool | return whether MESC is enabled | is_mesc_enabled() |
get_default_endpoint() | Endpoint or None | get default MESC endpoint | get_default_endpoint(profile='xyz') |
get_endpoint_by_network() | Endpoint or None | get default endpoint for network | get_endpoint_by_network(5, profile='xyz') |
get_endpoint_by_name() | Endpoint or None | get endpoint by name | get_endpoint_by_name('local_goerli') |
get_endpoint_by_query() | Endpoint or None | get endpoint for user input query | get_endpoint_by_query(user_str, profile='xyz') |
find_endpoints() | Sequence[Endpoint] | find endpoint that match input criteria | find_endpoints(chain_id=5) |
get_global_metadata() | Mapping[str, Any] | get non-endpoint metadata | get_global_metadata(profile='xyz') |
The profile argument is optional for each function (it allows users to customize the settings for each tool, see Profiles for details).
