Call Functions

If the functionality of your smart contract does not come under one of the extension interfaces, use the generic call method to retrieve the data and store the value.

Usage​

# The first argument is the function name, any subsequent arguments are passed to the function
contract.call("function_name")

Configuration​

function_name​

The name of the function, view, mapping, variable, etc. on your smart contract.

Must be a string.

args​

The arguments to the function/variable, in the same order as the function signature on your smart contract.

If you provide too few or too many arguments, the function will throw an error.

data = contract.call("function_name", "arg1", "arg2")

Example​

If I want to mint an NFT on my custom contract, I would want to use the mintTo(address, uri) function:

address = "0x..."
uri = "ipfs://..."
contract.call("mintTo", address, uri)
