decode by type string

Note: This feature is unstable, but working for multiple types.

You may also decode using a type-string formed from existing types by passing the metadata as pulled from a node (or formed manually).

import bittensor, bt_decode, scalecodec
# Get subtensor connection
sub = bittensor.subtensor()
# Create a param for the RPC call, using v15 metadata
v15_int = scalecodec.U32()
v15_int.value = 15
# Make the RPC call to grab the metadata
metadata_rpc_result = sub.substrate.rpc_request("state_call", [
    "Metadata_metadata_at_version",
    v15_int.encode().to_hex(),
    sub.substrate.get_chain_finalised_head()
])
# Decode the metadata into a PortableRegistry type
metadata_option_hex_str = metadata_rpc_result['result']
metadata_option_bytes = bytes.fromhex(metadata_option_hex_str[2:])
metadata_v15 = bt_decode.MetadataV15.decode_from_metadata_option(metadata_option_bytes)
registry = bt_decode.PortableRegistry.from_metadata_v15( metadata_v15 )

# Decode by type-string
NETUID = 1
## Grab result from RuntimeAPI
hex_bytes_result = sub.query_runtime_api(
    runtime_api="NeuronInfoRuntimeApi",
    method="get_neurons_lite",
    params=[NETUID]
)
## Decode scale-encoded NeuronInfoLite by type-string
neurons_lite: List[NeuronInfoLite] = bt_decode.decode(
    "Vec<NeuronInfoLite>", # type-string
    registry, # registry as above
    bytes.fromhex(
        hex_bytes_result # bytes to decode
    )
)

encode by type string

Note: This feature is unstable, but working for multiple types.

You may also encode using a type-string formed from existing types by passing the metadata as pulled from a node (or formed manually).

import bittensor, bt_decode, scalecodec
# Get subtensor connection

# Create a param for the RPC call, using v15 metadata
v15_int = scalecodec.U32()
v15_int.value = 15
# Make the RPC call to grab the metadata
metadata_rpc_result = sub.substrate.rpc_request("state_call", [
    "Metadata_metadata_at_version",
    v15_int.encode().to_hex(),
    sub.substrate.get_chain_finalised_head()
])
# Decode the metadata into a PortableRegistry type
metadata_option_hex_str = metadata_rpc_result['result']
metadata_option_bytes = bytes.fromhex(metadata_option_hex_str[2:])
metadata_v15 = bt_decode.MetadataV15.decode_from_metadata_option(metadata_option_bytes)
registry = bt_decode.PortableRegistry.from_metadata_v15( metadata_v15 )


## Encode an integer as a compact u16
compact_u16: list[int] = bt_decode.encode(
    "Compact<u16>", # type-string,
    2**16-1,
    registry
)
# [254, 255, 3, 0]
compact_u16_py_scale_codec = scalecodec.Compact()
compact_u16_py_scale_codec.value = 2**16-1
