Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Read from a smart contract on Overledger

Overledger Overview#

The Overledger API by Quant Network allows developers to interact with multiple blockchain networks. It facilitates the creation, reading, and execution of smart contracts and transactions across different blockchains. This API simplifies the complex nature of blockchain interoperability, enabling multi-chain applications (MApps) through a single gateway.

Action Authentication#

Overledger uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Overledger account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Overledger and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Overledger API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

overledger/read.scope
