🚀 Quick Start

import { TonHttpApiV3 } from "toncenter-js";

// Initialize API client
const api = new TonHttpApiV3({
    endpoint: "https://toncenter.com/",
    apiKey: "your-api-key" // Get it from @tonapibot
});

// Get masterchain info
const info = await api.getMasterchainInfo();
console.log(info);

📚 Usage Examples

💡 API Key: Register your API key with @tonapibot for higher rate limits and better performance.

📁 More Examples: Check out the examples directory for complete working examples.

🔥 Toncenter API V3 (Recommended)

The latest and most feature-rich API version with improved performance and additional endpoints.

import { TonHttpApiV3 } from "toncenter-js";

const api = new TonHttpApiV3({
    endpoint: "https://toncenter.com/",
    apiKey: "your-api-key" // Get from @tonapibot
});

// Get blockchain info
const masterchainInfo = await api.getMasterchainInfo();
console.log("Masterchain info:", masterchainInfo);

// Work with NFTs
const nftCollections = await api.getNftCollections({
    collection_address: "EQCA14o1-VWhS2efqoh_9M1b_A9DtKTuoqfmkn83AbJzwnPi"
});

const nftItems = await api.getNftItems({
    collection_address: "EQCA14o1-VWhS2efqoh_9M1b_A9DtKTuoqfmkn83AbJzwnPi",
    limit: 10
});

// Work with Jettons
const jettonWallets = await api.getJettonWallets({
    jetton_address: "EQBynBO23ywHy_CgarY9NK9FTz0yDsG82PtcbSTQgGoXwiuA",
    limit: 50
});

📜 Toncenter API V2 (Legacy)

For compatibility with older integrations, you can still use the V2 API.

import { TonHttpApiV2 } from "toncenter-js";

const api = new TonHttpApiV2({
    endpoint: "https://toncenter.com/",
    apiKey: "your-api-key" // optional
});

// Get masterchain info
const masterchainInfo = await api.getMasterchainInfo();
console.log("Masterchain info:", masterchainInfo);

// Get account transactions
const transactions = await api.getTransactions(
    "EQCD39VS5jcptHL8vMjEXrzGaRcCVYto7HUn4bpAOg8xqB2N",
    { limit: 10 }
);
console.log("Transactions:", transactions);

🔄 Endpoint Backward Compatibility

TonHttpApiV2 now supports both endpoint formats for maximum compatibility:

// Base URL format (original)
const api1 = new TonHttpApiV2({
    endpoint: "https://toncenter.com/",
    apiKey: "your-api-key"
});

// Full API path format (new, backward compatible)
const api2 = new TonHttpApiV2({
    endpoint: "https://testnet.toncenter.com/api/v2/jsonRPC",
    apiKey: "your-api-key"
});

// Both formats work identically - the library automatically handles the differences

🔧 Smart Contract Integration

TonClientV3 and TonClientV2 provide seamless integration with @ton/core for smart contract interactions.

💰 Highload Wallet Example

Deploy and use a highload wallet for batch transactions:

npm install ton-highload-wallet-contract @ton/crypto @ton/core --save

import { TonClientV3 } from "toncenter-js";
import { HighloadWalletContractV2 } from "ton-highload-wallet-contract";
import { mnemonicToPrivateKey } from "@ton/crypto";
import { internal } from "@ton/core";

const client = new TonClientV3({
    endpoint: "https://toncenter.com/",
    apiKey: "", // optional
});

const mnemonic = [ /* ... */ ];

// create contract
const key = await mnemonicToPrivateKey(mnemonic);
const contract = client.open(HighloadWalletContractV2.create({ publicKey: key.publicKey, workchain: 0 }));
console.log(`send test coins to the address: ${contract.address}`);

// send transfer
await contract.sendTransfer({
    secretKey: key.secretKey,
    messages: [
        internal({
            to: "EQBYivdc0GAk-nnczaMnYNuSjpeXu2nJS3DZ4KqLjosX5sVC",
            value: "0.2",
            body: "test 1",
            bounce: false,
        }),
        internal({
            to: "EQBYivdc0GAk-nnczaMnYNuSjpeXu2nJS3DZ4KqLjosX5sVC",
            value: "0.2",
            body: "test 2",
            bounce: false,
        })
    ],
});

📡 Real-time Block Subscriber V3

Monitor blockchain events in real-time with TonSubscriberV3. It automatically handles block synchronization and provides transaction data from masterchain blocks.

Key Features:

• Automatic rollback when restarting from earlier blocks
• Comprehensive error handling and retry logic
• Optimized storage with proper cleanup
• Full TypeScript support with proper null handling

import { 
    TonHttpApiV3, TonSubscriberV3, 
    TonMemoryBlockStorageV3, SchemaV3 
} from "toncenter-js";

const api = new TonHttpApiV3({
    endpoint: "https://toncenter.com/",
    apiKey: "" // optional
});

const storage = new TonMemoryBlockStorageV3();

const subscriber = new TonSubscriberV3({
    api: api,
    storage: storage,
    // logger: logger,
    // masterchainTickSleepTime: 3000,
    // startSeqno: 35744539  // Automatically rolls back if needed
});
await subscriber.start();

subscriber.on("block", async (args: { block: SchemaV3.Block }) => {
    try {

        let offset = 0;
        let stopped = false;
        let transactions: any = [];

        do {
            try {
                const data = await api.getTransactionsByMasterchainBlock(args.block.seqno, {
                    limit: 256,
                    offset
                });
                transactions = [...transactions, ...data.transactions];

                if (data.transactions.length < 256) {
                    stopped = true;
                    break;
                }

                offset += 256;
            } catch (error) {
                console.log(error);
                // Wait before retry to avoid spamming the API
                await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
            }
        } while(!stopped);

        console.log(`seqno: ${args.block.seqno} / transactions: ${transactions.length}`);

    } catch (error) {
        console.log(error);
    }
});

📡 Real-time Block Subscriber V2 (Legacy)

For compatibility with V2 API, you can use TonSubscriberV2 to monitor blockchain events from both masterchain and shardchains.

Key Improvements:

• Fixed shardchain processing for all workchain blocks
• Automatic rollback when restarting from earlier blocks
• Race condition protection with atomic Redis operations
• Enhanced error handling with retry logic

import { 
    TonHttpApiV2, TonSubscriberV2, 
    TonMemoryBlockStorageV2, SchemaV2 
} from "toncenter-js";

const api = new TonHttpApiV2({
    endpoint: "https://toncenter.com/",
    apiKey: "" // optional
});

const storage = new TonMemoryBlockStorageV2();

const subscriber = new TonSubscriberV2({
    api: api,
    storage: storage,
    // logger: logger,
    // masterchainTickSleepTime: 3000,
    // shardchainTickSleepTime: 100,
    // startSeqno: 35744539  // Automatically clears storage if rolling back
});

await subscriber.start();

subscriber.on("block", async (args: { block: SchemaV2.BlockHeader, shards?: SchemaV2.BlockShards }) => {
    try {

        const { workchain, shard, seqno } = args.block.id;

        let stopped = false;
        let transactions: any = [];
        do {
            try {
                const data = await api.getBlockTransactions(workchain, shard, seqno, {
                    count: 1024,
                });
                transactions = [...transactions, ...data.transactions];
                stopped = true;
            } catch (error) {
                console.log(error);
                // Wait before retry to avoid spamming the API
                await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
            }
        } while(!stopped);

        console.log(`workchain: ${workchain} / seqno: ${seqno} / transactions: ${transactions.length}`);

    } catch (error) {
        console.log(error);
    }
});

🗄️ Storage Options

Both V2 and V3 subscribers support multiple storage backends for block state persistence:

Memory Storage (Development)

import { TonMemoryBlockStorageV3 } from "toncenter-js";

const storage = new TonMemoryBlockStorageV3();
// Data is lost when process restarts

Redis Storage (Production)

import { TonRedisBlockStorageV3 } from "toncenter-js";

const storage = new TonRedisBlockStorageV3("redis://:password@127.0.0.1:6379/0");
// Data persists across restarts

Storage Features:

• Built-in storage cleanup methods
• Atomic operations prevent race conditions
• Proper null handling and validation
• Automatic storage reset when rolling back

🔧 Advanced Configuration

Error Handling & Retry Logic

The subscribers include comprehensive error handling:

const subscriber = new TonSubscriberV3({
    api,
    storage,
    masterchainTickSleepTime: 5000, // Delay between processing cycles
    logger: {
        info: (msg) => console.log(`[INFO] ${msg}`),
        error: (msg) => console.error(`[ERROR] ${msg}`)
    }
});

Rollback & Recovery

Automatic rollback when restarting from earlier blocks:

// If storage has blocks up to seqno 1000, but you specify startSeqno: 900
// The subscriber will automatically clear storage and restart from 900
const subscriber = new TonSubscriberV3({
    api,
    storage,
    startSeqno: 900 // Will trigger automatic rollback if needed
});
