Saving a string in python associated with an API

0 votes

I am writing a bit of code which calls an API and grabs the latest Bitcoin Nonce data. I have managed to do this fine, however now I want to be able to save the first nonce value found as a string such as Nonce1 and then recall the API every few seconds till I get another Nonce value and name it Nonce2 for example? Is this possible? My code is down bellow.

from __future__ import print_function
import blocktrail

client = blocktrail.APIClient(api_key="x", api_secret="x", network="BTC", testnet=False)
address = client.address('x')

latest_block = client.block_latest()

nonce = latest_block['nonce']

print(nonce)

noncestr = str(nonce)

A very simple-minded solution:

import time
nonce = "some string"
while True:
  latest_nonce = client.block_latest()['nonce']
  if latest_nonce != nonce:
     nonce = latest_nonce
  time.sleep(2)

You can create a list and add your nonces to it:

nonces = []
nonces.append(yournonce)

Then you can access them like so:

nonces[noncenum]

You could use a while loop and time.sleep to get a new nonce every few seconds.
