Ethereum Summary

 Significance of Ethereum

  • 2nd generation blockchain implementation. More transparent and tracable.
  • Allows more autonomy via smart contracts.
  • ERC-725 standard is used to link real world identities to ethereum accounts.
  • Ether - Ethereum's native crypto currency.
  • Ethereum address - Pair of public key (for crypto transfer) and private key (secured).
  • Initial Coin Offering (ICO) - Proposal for new blockchain based buisness.
  • Decentralized Autonomous Organisation (DAO) - Minimal human interaction, decisions are made by smart contracts.

Ethereum Smart Contracts

  • Set of rules to follow to register a transaction in blockchain.
  • Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) - An virtual environment where we can execute smart contracts.
  • Every nodes run a copy of EVM. Each node runs every smart contracts resulting same output, hence more consistency.
I learned most of these points from the linkedIn course - Please check it out as well.

This article will discuss the following topics, Blogger's REST APIs. Google's OAuth 2.0 playground. Accessing spreadsheet in Python. Creating blogger posts via Python. An experiment to automate blog post creation when you have structured data. I was searching for IFSC codes for some bank transactions and came across Reserve Bank's website, which has a list of Excel files containing Bank Codes, Contact Info and related details of each bank's branch. This time I will be looking towards Bharat co-operative bank of Mumbai. Here is how the corresponding data looks like. In the above picture, each row represents lots of details about each branch of the Bank. Let's think of creating a list of blog posts where each post gives IFSC codes of a particular branch along with address and contact details. As the first step, I have created a blog in blogger. In the Blogger dashboard, please also note the parameter called blog ID which is a kind of unique identifier ...

How to Clone a MongoDB Database Between Docker Containers

How to Clone a MongoDB Database Between Docker Containers If you're running MongoDB in Docker and want to clone a database from one container to another, you're in the right place. This guide walks you through exporting a MongoDB database from one Docker container and restoring it into another — all using Docker commands and MongoDB’s native tools. Prerequisites Docker installed on your system Two MongoDB containers: Source container: mongo_source Target container: mongo_target Database to clone: mydb Step 1: Dump the Database from the Source Container Use the mongodump command inside the mongo_source container to export the contents of mydb : docker exec mongo_source mongodump --db=mydb --out=/dump This command creates a dump in the /dump directory inside the container. Next, copy that dump to your host machine: docker cp mongo_source:/dump ./dump You now have a local copy of your database dump in the ./dump folder on y...

Understanding Swagger and OpenAPI Specifications

Understanding Swagger and OpenAPI Specifications In modern API development, Swagger and OpenAPI have become the go-to tools for designing, documenting, and interacting with RESTful APIs. Let’s break down these essential tools and how they simplify API development. What is OpenAPI? The OpenAPI Specification (OAS) is a standard format to describe REST APIs. Initially known as the Swagger Specification, it was created by Swagger, then donated to the OpenAPI Initiative in 2015. Today, OpenAPI has become the industry standard for describing APIs, making it easier for developers to understand and work with APIs across various platforms. An OpenAPI document provides a structured description of the entire API, including: Endpoints and available operations Input parameters and output formats Authentication methods Error messages and responses Here’s a quick example of an OpenAPI specification snippet in JSON: { ...
