Using arky

arky relies on two major elements

api package

api package allows developpers to send requests to the blockchain according to ARK API. For security reason only GET methods are implemented in api package.

>>> from arky import api
>>> api.use("ark")
>>> api.Account.getAccount("AUahWfkfr5J4tYakugRbfow7RWVTK35GPW")
{'account': {'balance': '2111396549423', 'secondSignature': 0, 'u_multisignatures': [], 'multisignat
