Live Block Viewer

This module prints new blocks as they are added to the blockchain:

import time
import ogmios

with ogmios.Client() as client:
    # Set chain pointer to origin
    point, tip, id = client.find_intersection.execute([ogmios.Origin()])

    # Now set chain pointer to tip
    _, _, _ = client.find_intersection.execute([tip.to_point()])

    # Tail blockchain as new blocks come in beyond the current tip
    while True:
        direction, tip, point, _ = client.next_block.execute()
        if direction == ogmios.Direction.forward:
            print(f"New block: {point}")
        time.sleep(1)
