Configuration
notar
has an default ethereum RPC setup (https://rpc.ankr.com/eth
) and packaged with some ABIs out of the box.
However, notar
can be configured to your liking by creating a .notarrc
file in your $HOME
directory. The configuration should follow the ini
format. You can easily add your own ABI files as well as connect to other EVM compatible networks.
Example Config
~/.notarrc
; Global
abi_dir=~/.abis ; Folder which contains `ethers` compatible ABIs
; Sections
[bsc] ; Section header => network name
rpc=https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/ ; rpc url
[polygon]
rpc=https://rpc-mainnet.matic.quiknode.pro
[moonbeam]
rpc=https://moonbeam.public.blastapi.io
Fetch ABIs from Etherscan
Notar is able to fetch ABIs of verified contracts directly from Etherscan and others alike. In order to do this it needs the API url of the scanner and a valid API key. It's setup like this to support all chains which have an Etherscan equivalent.
~/.notarrc
[ethereum]
rpc=https://rpc.ankr.com/eth
scan_url=https://api.etherscan.io/ ; make sure it's the API endpoint url not the actual scanner website url.
scan_api_key=YOUR_API_KEY
