get_raw_abi

Overview

The get_raw_abi method is used to fetch the raw, serialized ABI (Application Binary Interface) for a specified account, providing essential details needed for interacting with smart contracts on the EOS network.

// yarn add @tatumio/tatum

import { TatumSDK, Eos, Network } from '@tatumio/tatum'
  
const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<Eos>({ network: Network.EOS })

const rawAbi = await tatum.rpc.getRawAbi({ accountName: 'b1' })

await tatum.destroy() // Destroy Tatum SDK - needed for stopping background jobs

Example use cases:

1. Smart Contract Interaction:
   Developers or users may use the get_raw_abi method to obtain the raw ABI of a smart contract, essential for decoding binary data and enabling effective interaction with the contract.
2. ABI Analysis and Verification:
   The method allows developers and analysts to study and analyze the ABI of a contract, verify its integrity, and understand its structure and methods by comparing the retrieved abi_hash with known hash values.
3. Development and Debugging:
   This method is crucial for developers during the development and debugging phases, enabling quick access to and assessment of the ABI, ensuring alignment with the contract’s intended design and functionality.

Request Parameters

The getRawAbi method has one parameter:

• accountName (string, required): The unique EOSIO account name of the smart contract whose ABI is to be retrieved.

Return Object

The get_raw_abi method returns an object with the following parameters:

• account_name (string, required): The name of the account whose ABI was retrieved.
• code_hash (string, required): The hash of the smart contract code.
• abi_hash (string, required): The hash of the ABI of the smart contract.
• abi (string, required): The raw, serialized ABI data.
