# monstr



Monstr: Python Nostr module. Python code for working with nostr.



* A basic relay implementation that can be used for testing, and can be easily extended.

* Client and ClientPool classes to manage access to one or multiple relays

* Keys for working with and converting between hex/npub/nsec

* Signer classes for abstacting use of keys so for example signing could be done via hardware

* Entities for encoding and decoding NIP19 nostr entities

* NIP4 and NIP44 implemented for payload encryption

* inbox for wrapping events (TODO look into nip for gift wrapped events)



# install

```sh

git clone https://github.com/monty888/monstr.git

cd monstr

python3 -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate

pip install .

# probably required to run examples else nostr module won't be found

export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:./"

```

to use postgres as store psycopg2 must be installed

```sh

# install wheel helper, if needed.

pip pip install wheel

# maybe required on linux

# sudo apt install postgresql automake pkg-config libtool

# maybe required on mac

# brew install postgresql automake pkg-config libtool libffi

# now actually install psycopg2

pip install psycopg2

```



Note: developed against python 3.10.12



# use 



### keys

```python

from monstr.encrypt import Keys



# generate new keys

k = Keys()



# import existing keys, where key_str is nsec, npub or hex - assumed public

k = Keys.get_key(key_str)



# import existing hex private key

k = Keys(priv_k=key_str)

```



### run local relay

```python

import asyncio

import logging

from monstr.relay.relay import Relay



async def run_relay():

    r = Relay()

    await r.start()



if __name__ == '__main__':

    logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

    asyncio.run(run_relay())

```

**_NOTE:_**  By default this relay will be running at ws://localhost:8080 and not storing events



### make a post  

The following shows code to post note to the above local relay. Normally you'd use a ClientPool 

rather than Client because it's normal to post to multiple relays. It should be possible to switch between 

Client/ClientPool without any other changes in most cases.

The code shows:  

  - basic note post

  - NIP4 encrypt post or NIP44 with code change as comment

  - basic note post using signer class

```python

import asyncio

import logging

from monstr.client.client import Client, ClientPool

from monstr.encrypt import Keys, NIP4Encrypt

from monstr.event.event import Event

from monstr.signing import BasicKeySigner



async def do_post(url, text):

    # rnd generate some keys

    n_keys = Keys()



    async with Client(url) as c:

        # basic kind one note 

        n_msg = Event(kind=Event.KIND_TEXT_NOTE,

                      content=text,

                      pub_key=n_keys.public_key_hex())

        n_msg.sign(n_keys.private_key_hex())

        c.publish(n_msg)

        

        # to encrypt in needs to be for someone, use these keys

        to_k = Keys('nsec1znc5uy6e342rzn420l38q892qzmkvjz0hn836hhn8hl8wmkc670qp0lk9n')

        

        # kind 4 for nip4, nip44 has no set kind so will depend

        n_msg.kind = Event.KIND_ENCRYPT

        

        # same nip4 encrypted

        my_enc = NIP4Encrypt(n_keys)    # or NIP44Encrypt(n_keys)

        # returns event we to_p_tag and content encrypted

        n_msg = my_enc.encrypt_event(evt=n_msg,

                                     to_pub_k=to_k)



        n_msg.sign(n_keys.private_key_hex())

        c.publish(n_msg)



        # or using signer send text post - better this way

        

        my_signer = BasicKeySigner(key=Keys())



        n_msg = await my_signer.ready_post(Event(kind=Event.KIND_TEXT_NOTE,

                                                 content=text))

        c.publish(n_msg)

        

        # await asyncio.sleep(1)



if __name__ == "__main__":

    logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

    url = "ws://localhost:8080"

    text = 'hello'



    asyncio.run(do_post(url, text))

```



### query

basic one time query to above relay

```python

import logging

import asyncio

from monstr.client.client import Client, ClientPool



# default relay if not otherwise given

DEFAULT_RELAY = 'ws://localhost:8080'

FILTER = [{

    'limit': 100

}]



async def one_off_query_client_with(relay=DEFAULT_RELAY):

    # does a one off query to relay prints the events and exits    

    async with Client(relay) as c:

        events = await c.query(FILTER)

        for c_evt in events:

            print(c_evt)



if __name__ == "__main__":

    logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

    asyncio.run(one_off_query_client_with())

```



### subscription

Listen to posts being made to the local relay above



```python

import asyncio

import logging

import sys

from monstr.client.client import Client, ClientPool

import signal

from monstr.encrypt import Keys

from monstr.event.event import Event

from monstr.util import util_funcs



tail = util_funcs.str_tails



async def listen_notes(url):

    run = True



    # so we get a clean exit on ctrl-c

    def sigint_handler(signal, frame):

        nonlocal run

        run = False

    signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, sigint_handler)



    # create the client and start it running

    c = Client(url)

    asyncio.create_task(c.run())

    await c.wait_connect()



    # just use func, you can also use a class that has a do_event

    # with this method sig, e.g. extend monstr.client.EventHandler

    def my_handler(the_client: Client, sub_id: str, evt: Event):

        print(evt.created_at, tail(evt.content,30))



    # start listening for events

    c.subscribe(handlers=my_handler,

                filters={

                   'limit': 100

                })



    while run:

        await asyncio.sleep(0.1)



if __name__ == "__main__":

    logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

    url = "ws://localhost:8080"



    asyncio.run(listen_notes(url))

```



### NIP19 Entities



```python

from monstr.entities import Entities



def show_entities():

    # nip19 encoded profile

    n_profile = 'nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gpp4mhxue69uhhytnc9e3k7mgpz4mhxue69uhkg6nzv9ejuumpv34kytnrdaksjlyr9p'



    # extract data

    decoded = Entities.decode(n_profile)

    print(decoded)



    # re-encode

    print(Entities.encode('nprofile', decoded))



if __name__ == "__main__":

    show_entities()

```



further examples are in the /examples directory
