ICON supports SDK for 3rd party or user services development. You can integrate ICON SDK for your project and utilize the ICON’s functionality. This document provides you with information about API specification.

class ICONService

ICONService is a class which provides APIs to communicate with ICON nodes. It enables you to easily use ICON JSON-RPC APIs (version 3). All methods of IconService returns a Request<T, ICError> instance.

Query Execution

Request are executed as synchronized and asynchronized.

Synchronized execution

To execute the request synchronously, you need to run execute() function of Request.

public func execute() -> Result<T, ICError>

Returns

Result<T, ICError>

Example

// Synchronized request execution
let response = iconService.getLastBlock().execute()
​
switch response {
case .success(let block):
print(block)
case .failure(let error):
print(error.errorDescription)
}

Asynchronized execution

To execute the request asynchronously, you need to run async() function of Request.

public func async(_ completion: @escaping (Result<T, ICError>) -> Void)

Returns

async() is a closure. Passing Result<T, ICError>.

Example

// Asynchronized request execution
iconService.getLastBlock().async { (result) in
switch result {
case .success(let block):
print(block)
case .failure(let error):
print(err.errorDescription)
}
}

Transaction Execution

Transaction class is used to make a transaction instance. There are 3 types of Transaction class.

Class

Description

​Transaction​

A class for Transaction instance which is for sending ICX.

​CallTransaction​

A class for CallTransaction instance which is for SCORE function call. CallTransaction extends Transaction class.

​MessageTransaction​

A class for MessageTransaction instance which is for transfer message. Extends Transaction class.

Request is executed as Synchronized or Asynchronized like a querying request.

Example

// Synchronized request
let response = iconService.sendTransaction(signedTransaction: signed).execute()
​
switch response {
case .success(let result): // result == String
print(result)
case .error(let error):
print(error)
}
​
// Asynchronized request
let request = iconService.sendTransaction(signedTransaction: signed)
request.async { (result) in
switch result {
case .success(let result): // result == String
print(result)
case .failure(let error):
print(error)
}
}

Initialize

Returns

Request<T> - Request instance for icx_call JSON-RPC request. If the execution is successful, returns Result<T, ICError>.

Example

In Call generic value, input the type of function call. The generic value should follow Codable protocol.

For example, the type of SCORE function call is String, input String like this.

// Create Call instance
let call = Call<String>(from: wallet.address, to: "cxf9148db4f8ec78823a50cb06c4fed83660af38d0", method: "tokenOwner", params: nil)
