📃WitnetRequest

Built out of non-parameterized data sources (i.e. Radon Retrievals) from the WitnetRequestFactory, or from parameterized WitnetRequestTemplate instances, WitnetRequest instances contain the RAD hash and bytecode of some Witnet-compliant data requests, as well as introspective metadata about its public data sources, off-chain computations, data filtering and reducing methods.

Did you know?

WitnetRequest addresses are counter-factual to the actual data sources, aggregate and tally filters and reducers they have been built with.

Meaning that if you try to build a WitnetRequest out of the same Radon Retrievals and Reducers as someone else did in the past, you will get exactly the same address. The underlying minimal-proxy contract would get constructed only once, of course. Building an already built WitnetRequest works, and requires less gas than building it for the first time.

IWitnetRequestFactoryAppliance

Methods	Description
= class(): string	Returns the name of the contract that's actually implementing the ABI's specs() logic.
= factory(): WitnetRequestFactory	Address of the WitnetRequestFactory contract from which either this contract was directly created, or from which the WitnetRequestTemplate that built this contract was created.
= specs(): bytes4	Returns the immutable ERC-165 id of the expected functionality as for the WitnetRequest ABI.
= witnet(): WitnetOracle	Address of the WitnetOracle contract that this instance is compliant with.

:: getArgs():string[][]	If built out of a WitnetRequestTemplate, returns the array or string values passed as parameters when this WitnetRequest got built.
:: getResultDataType():RadonDataTypes	Returns the expected data type produced by successful resolutions of the Witnet-compliant data request contained within this WitnetRequest.
:: getAggregateReducer():RadonReducer	Returns the filters and reducing function to be applied by witnessing nodes on the Witnet blockchain when aggregating data extracted from the public data sources (i.e. Radon Retrievals) as specified within this WitnetRequest.
:! getRetrievalByIndex(uint256):RRet.	Returns metadata concerning the data source specified by the given index.
:: getRetrievals():RadonRetrieval[]	Returns the array of one or more data sources (i.e. Radon Retrievals) that compose this WitnetRequest.
:: getTallyReducer():RadonReducer	Returns the slashing filters and reducing function to be applied to the values revealed by the witnessing nodes on the Witnet blockchain that contribute to solve the data request as specified within this WitnetRequest.
:: template():WitnetRequestTemplate	If built out of a template, returns the address of the WitnetRequestTemplate from which this WitnetRequest instance got built.
:: version():string	If built out of an upgradable factory, or template, returns the SemVer tag of the actual implementation version at the time when this WitnetRequest got built.

Structs

Witnet.RadonFilter

Struct defining the data filtering to be applied at either the Aggregate or Tally stages within the resolution of a data request within the Witnet blockchain.

Field	Type	Description
opcode	Witnet.RadonFilterOpcodes	Filtering function.
cborArgs	bytes	CBOR-encoded array of filter parameters. Empty if no parameters are to be specified.

Witnet.RadonReducer

Struct defining the array of filters, if any, and reduce function to be applied at either the Aggregate or Tally stages within the resolution of a data request within the Witnet blockchain.

Field	Type	Description
opcode	Witnet.RadonReducerOpcodes	Reducing function.
filters	Witnet.RadonFilter[]	Zero, one or more filters to be orderly applied to input dataset before actually executing the reduce function.

Witnet.RadonRequest

Struct containing the Retrieve-Attestation-Delivery parts of a Witnet-compliant Data Request Object.

Field	Type	Description
retrieve	Witnet.RadonRetrieval[]	One or more public data sources (i.e. Radon Retrievals) out from where data will be retrieved by all witnessing nodes in the Witnet-blockchain attending the resolution of this data request.
aggregate	Witnet.RadonReducer	Filtering and reduce operations that will executed by every single witnessing node as to aggregate the data extracted from the request's data sources.
tally	Witnet.RadonReducer	Filtering and reduce operations that will be applied to the aggregated data revealed by each witnessing node. Witnessing nodes revealing data that gets ultimately filtered out, will get slashed.

dataType	Witnet.RadonDataTypes	Deterministic data type that successful executions will return.
url	string	Request URL. Mandatory on HttpGet, HttpPost and HttpHead retrieving methods.
body	string	Request body. Optional on HttpGet and HttpPost retrieving methods.
headers	string[2][]	Request key/value headers. Optional on HttpGet and HttpPost retrieving methods.
radonScript	bytes	Optional CBOR-encoded Radon Script that will transform whatever value is returned from the source. Not supported on RNG retrievals.
