Title: How to Call the Execute Sell Function in Uniswap v3 with Web3.py
Introduction:
Uniswap v3 is a popular decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol that allows for peer-to-peer trading between assets. When you call the buy
and sell
functions on Uniswap v3, it executes two separate transactions: one to buy the asset and another to sell the same asset back to the liquidity pool. In this article, we’ll show how to use Web3.py to call the executeSell
function in Uniswap v3.
Prerequisites:
- You have installed Web3.py on your machine.
- You have a Uniswap v3 wallet and an Ethereum node (such as Gnosis or Infura).
- You have created a contract for your token (e.g., using Truffle or Remix).
Step 1: Define the executeSell
function
First, you need to define the executeSell
function on your Uniswap v3 contract. This function is called when an asset is sold back to the liquidity pool.
def executeSell(web3, chain, wallet_address, address_token, token_abi):
Get the current price of the asset
tx_hash = web3.eth.sendRawTransaction(
{
'data': transaction_to_sign,
'gasPrice': web3.toWei('20', 'gwei'),
'to': address_token,
'value': web3.toWei(0, 'ether')
}
)
Get the transaction hash
tx_hash = tx_hash.hex()
Call the executeSell
function on the contract (in this case, just to show how it's called)
tx_hash = web3.eth.getTransactionCount(wallet_address).hex()
Replace with your actual wallet address
return tx_hash
Step 2: Get the contract instance
Next, you need to get an instance of the Uniswap v3 contract. You can do this by calling the web3.eth.contract
function.
contract = web3.eth.contract(address='0xYourContractAddress', abi=token_abi)
Step 3: Call the executeSell
function
Now, you need to call the executeSell
function on your contract instance. You can do this by using the web3.eth.sendRawTransaction
method.
tx_hash = executeSell(web3, chain, wallet_address, address_token, token_abi)
Step 4: Handle errors
Error handling is crucial when calling external contracts. Make sure to handle any potential errors that might occur during the execution of the executeSell
function.
try:
tx_hash = executeSell(web3, chain, wallet_address, address_token, token_abi)
except web3.HTTPException as e:
print(f"HTTP error: {e}")
Putting it all together
Here’s the complete code:
“python
import web3
def sell_token(web3 : Web3 , chain, wallet_address, address_token, token_abi, transaction_to_sign):
Get the current price of the asset
tx_hash = web3.eth.sendRawTransaction(
{
'data': transaction_to_sign,
'gasPrice': web3.toWei('20', 'gwei'),
'to': address_token,
'value': web3.toWei(0, 'ether')
}
)
Get the transaction hash
tx_hash = tx_hash.hex()
Call theexecuteSell` function on the contract (in this case, just to show how it’s called)
tx_hash = web3.eth.getTransactionCount(wallet_address).hex()
Replace with your actual wallet address
return tx_hash
def main():
Create a new Web3 instance
web3 = web3.Web3()
Define the contract instance and ABI
contract = web3.eth.
