Ocean Instance Tech Details

Technical details about most used ocean.py functions

At the beginning of most flows, we create an ocean object, which is an instance of class Ocean. It exposes useful information, including the following:

properties for config & OCEAN
contract objects retrieval
users' orders
provider fees

Constructor

__init__(self, config_dict: Dict, data_provider: Optional[Type] = None)

The Ocean class is the entry point into Ocean Procol.

In order to initialize a Ocean object, you must provide config_dict which is a Dictionary instance and optionally a DataServiceProvider instance.

Parameters

config_dict: dict which is mandatory and it contains the configuration as dictionary format.
data_provider: Optional[DataProvider] which is optional with a default value of None. If it is not provided, the constructor will instantiate a new one from scratch.

Returns

None

class Ocean:
    """The Ocean class is the entry point into Ocean Protocol."""

        """Initialize Ocean class.

        Usage: Make a new Ocean instance

        `ocean = Ocean({...})`

        This class provides the main top-level functions in ocean protocol:
        1. Publish assets metadata and associated services
            - Each asset is assigned a unique DID and a DID Document (DDO)
            - The DDO contains the asset's services including the metadata
            - The DID is registered on-chain with a URL of the metadata store
              to retrieve the DDO from

            `ddo = ocean.assets.create(metadata, publisher_wallet)`

        2. Discover/Search ddos via the current configured metadata store (Aquarius)

            - Usage:
            `ddos_list = ocean.assets.search('search text')`

        An instance of Ocean is parameterized by a `Config` instance.
