Tangocrypto SDK

The easiest way to connect your dApp to Cardano and get the power of Tangocrypto's infrastructure. Just download, write a few lines of code, and go.
Getting started
This guide assumes you already have a Tangocrypto account and access to our Dashboard.
Create an App
To use Tangocrypto's products, you need an API key to authenticate your requests.
You can create API keys from the dashboard, just click on Create App, name it and click create a new app:
Create App
Once the app is created, it will generate an APP ID and an API Key. With those values, you can start consuming the API with the SDK. 
App details
Install the SDK
Check out the full Github repo here:
GitHub - tango-crypto/tangocrypto-js: Javascript client for tangocrypto API
GitHub
Install the SDK:
npm i @tango-crypto/tangocrypto-js
After installing the app, you can then import and use the SDK:
import { Tangocrypto, Network } from '@tango-crypto/tangocrypto-js';
// or CommonJS
// const { Tangocrypto, Network } = require('@tango-crypto/tangocrypto-js');
​
​
const client = new Tangocrypto({
    apiKey: process.env.API_KEY, // your account id
    appId: process.env.APP_ID, // your app id
    network: Network.CARDANO_MAINNET, // Network to determine the base URL, default to https://cardano-mainnet.tangocrypto.com
    version: process.env.VERSION, // API version, default to v1
    maxAttempts: 5 // maximmum retry attemps when request fails and is retryable (e.g. status 429) 
})
The Tangocrypto object returned provides access to the Tangocrypto API. You can use the config object to set your API key, change the network, or specify the max number of retries. 
Config Options
apiKey: Your account Id (required).
appId: Your app Id (required).
network: Network to determine the base URL, default to https://cardano-mainnet.tangocrypto.com.To use the testnet set the network parameter to Network.CARDANO_TESTNET.
version: String for API version, default to v1.
maxAttempts: Number indicating the maximmum retry attemps when request fails and is retryable (e.g. status 429).
API Response
All API instances methods return an instance of ApiResponse<T> definde this way:
export interface ApiResponse<T> {
    result: T;
    $metadata: Metadata;
}
Where T corresponding to the data specific for each endpoint. More info about each endpoint request/response here. The field $metadata contains the attemps and totalRetryDelay were needed in order to perform the request. If the request was success in the first call $metadata will look like this:
{ attempts: 1, totalRetryDelay: 0 }
Error Handling
The errors throws by this sdk are instances of TangocryptoError with the same structure you get from the API.
{
    "status_code": 404,
    "message": "epoch: 63 not found",
    "error": "Not Found"
}
Check here for all possible status_code and meaning.
TancryptoError extends built-in Error class, so you can catch it in your code and perform custom logic.
import { Tangocrypto, Network } from '@tango-crypto/tangocrypto-js';
​
const tangocrypto = new Tangocrypto({
    apiKey: process.env.API_KEY,
    appId: process.env.APP_ID,
    network: Network.CARDANO_TESTNET,
    version: process.env.VERSION
}).block()
​
// missing block number
const block = -1;
​
try {
    const response = await tangocrypto.getBlock(block);
} catch (err) {
    if (err instanceof TangocryptoError) {
        // missing block number
        console.log(err.toString()); // TangocryptoError: {"status_code":404,"message":"block number: -1 not found","error":"Not Found"}
    } else {
        // other errors
        throw err;
    }
}
Using the Tangocrypto SDK
The Tangocrypto SDK currently supports the following modules:
Addresses: Address methods
Assets: Assets methods
Blocks: Block methods
Epochs: Epoch methods.
Policies: Policy methods. 
Pools: Pool methods.
Transactions: Transaction methods.
Wallets: Get access to a set of endpoints cardano stake address related.
Webhooks: Webhook methods.
Nfts: NFT methods. 
Address
It also includes the majority of Tangocrypto APIs, including:
getAddressSummary(): Retrieves summarized information of an address.
listAddressAssets(): Returns a list of assets for a given address.
listAddressTransactions(): Returns a list of transactions for a given address.
listAddressUtxos(): Returns a list of UTXOs for a given address.
Assets
It also includes the majority of Tangocrypto APIs, including:
getAsset(): Retrieves information about an asset
getAssetByFingerprint(): Retrieves information about an asset
listAssetAddresses(): Returns a list of addresses and quantities for a given asset.
listAssetAddressesByFingerprint(): Returns a list of addresses and quantities holding the given asset.
Blocks: 
getBlock(): Retrieves information about a block specified by block_no.
getBlockByHash(): Retrieves information about a block specified by hash.
listBlockTransactions(): Returns a list of transactions for a given block.
listBlockTransactionsByHash(hash): Returns a list of transactions for a given block.
getLatestBlock(): Retrieves the latest block available.
Epochs
getCurrentEpoch(): Retrieves the current epoch information
getEpochParameters(): Retrieves the protocol parameters for a given epoch.
Policies
getAssetsByPolicy(): Returns a list of assets with the given Policy ID.
Pools
listPoolDelegations(): Returns a list of delegations for a given stake pool.
getPoolMetadata(): Retrieve stake pool registration metadata specified by a pool_id.
Transactions
getTransaction(): Retrieves the information about a transaction requested specified by a transaction hash.
getTransactionMetadata(): Retrieve the transaction metadata specified by a transaction hash.
listTransactionUtxos(): List the UTXOs from a transaction specified by a transaction hash.
submitTransaction(): Submit an already serialized transaction to the network.
buildTransaction(): Build and serialize transaction with custom logic like swap, send, mint, burn etc.
signTransaction(): Sign transaction off-chain.

getSale(): Returns details for a single sale. With this endpoint, you can check the remaining reservation time or if the sale is expired. Also, you can check if a customer has made a partial payment or if the total amount was paid. Once the payment is received, the NFT is minted and sent to the buyer's wallet address.
Sale phase
createSalePhase(): Create a sale phase for a given collection. You can add different phases to control how you will sell the collection. For example, you might have a total of 5000 NFTs, and you want to sell them in stages. You can create a pre-sale phase to sell 1000 NFTs to previous customers at a special price and within a specific time range. You can identify these customers with a condition; that would be an NFT with a certain policy id on their wallets. Then you create another sale phase for the public drop with the remaining 4000 NFTs and no conditions.
getSalePhase(): Returns details for a single sale phase.

updateSalePhase(): Update sale phase
deleteAffiliate(): Delete affiliate.
createAffiliate(): Create affiliate.
updateAffiliate(): Update affiliate
