This python library contains common Blockcerts models and accessors used by other Blockcerts python libraries.
Subpackages:
Parses different versions of Blockcerts JSON files into a common Certificate model.
Blockchain certificate storage. This is used as a library in the cert-viewer project.
The certificate storage interface is simplekv. The default configurations use the FilesystemStore, which is highly recommended if you are getting started. This makes it easier to issue, copy, and view your Blockchain Certificates.
The certificate storage location can be modified with the following configuration entries in your conf.ini file:
cert_store_type: which key-value backing store to use. Current supported values are:
simplekv_fs: (Default) file system storesimplekv_gridfs: (Advanced) gridfs storecert_store_path: file system path if using simplekv_fsmongodb_uri: mongo db uri (including db name) if using simplekv_gridfsExample File System config:
cert_store_type = simplekv_fs
cert_store_path = ./cert_data
Example GridFS config (Advanced):
cert_store_type = simplekv_gridfs
mongodb_uri = mongodb://localhost:27017/test
Warning
Most users should ignore these instructions, which are only included as a temporary bridge for earlier users of blockcerts. We recommend migrating to the latest version of Blockcerts.
Warning: avoid this option unless you are sure you need it. Earlier versions of the Blockchain Certificate
required a separate storage of the certificate transaction id. That was managed in a certificates mongo db table.
The --v1_aware flag allows support for these certificates.
