Add the nostr-sdk dependency in your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
nostr-sdk = "0.38"

Alternatively, you can add it directly from git source:

[dependencies]
nostr-sdk = { git = "https://github.com/rust-nostr/nostr", tag = "v0.38.0" }

Import the library in your code:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
use nostr_sdk::prelude::*;
}

The nostr-sdk package is available on the public PyPI:

pip install nostr-sdk 

Alternatively, you can manually add the dependency in your requrements.txt, setup.py, etc.:

nostr-sdk==0.38.0

Import the library in your code:

from nostr_sdk import *

Support matrix

The wheels are distributed for the following python versions and platforms. If your version/platform is not currently supported, you can compile the wheel by your self following these instructions.

Python version

Platform support

Known issues

No running event loop

If you receive no running event loop error at runtime, add the following line to your code:

import asyncio
from nostr_sdk import uniffi_set_event_loop

uniffi_set_event_loop(asyncio.get_running_loop())

The nostr-sdk package is available on the public npmjs:

npm i @rust-nostr/nostr-sdk

Alternatively, you can manually add the dependency in your package.json file:

{
    "dependencies": {
        "@rust-nostr/nostr-sdk": "0.38.0"
    }
}

WASM

This library to work require to load the WASM code.

Load in async context

import { loadWasmAsync } from "@rust-nostr/nostr-sdk";

async function main() {
    // Load WASM
    await loadWasmAsync();

    // ...
}

main();

Load in sync context

import { loadWasmSync } from "@rust-nostr/nostr-sdk";

function main() {
    // Load WASM
    loadWasmSync();

    // ...
}

main();

To use the Kotlin language bindings for nostr-sdk in your Android project add the following to your gradle dependencies:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies { 
    implementation("org.rust-nostr:nostr-sdk:0.38.3")
}

Import the library in your code:

import rust.nostr.sdk.*

Known issues

JNA dependency

Depending on the JVM version you use, you might not have the JNA dependency on your classpath. The exception thrown will be

class file for com.sun.jna.Pointer not found

The solution is to add JNA as a dependency like so:

dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation("net.java.dev.jna:jna:5.15.0@aar")
}

Xcode

Via File > Add Packages..., add

https://github.com/rust-nostr/nostr-sdk-swift.git

as a package dependency in Xcode.

Swift Package

Add the following to the dependencies array in your Package.swift:

.package(url: "https://github.com/rust-nostr/nostr-sdk-swift.git", from: "0.38.0"),

Add the following code to your package:

The EventId class can be called in order to construct event ids, although this is not necessary when building Event objects as it will be done automatically at that time.

Upon instantiation the following content are passed to the class instance to generate the event ID: public_key, created_at, kind, tags and content.

print("  Build Event ID:")
event_id = EventId(keys.public_key(), Timestamp.now(), Kind(1), [], "content")
print(f"     - {event_id}")

Once we have an event id object we are able to format and parse this using a few simple methods. To present as a hex, bech32, nostr uri or as bytes we need only call the relevant methods to_hex(), to_bech32(), to_nostr_uri() or to_bytes().

It is somewhat trivial to perform the reverse action given that this has been generalised across, hex/bech32 or nostr uri formats. This is achived by calling the parse() method and passing this the event id string matching one of these formats. The exception to this rule is for bytes where the from_bytes() method is to be used.

Working with kinds is facilitated by the Kind and KindEnum classes. If you are familiar already with the specific integer value for a given Kind it is as simple as calling an instance of the class Kind() and passing the specific number for the Kind you wish to create.

In the example below we've used the common 0/1/3 Kinds (user metadata, text note and following list, respectively) as an illustration of this.

Once we've created the Kind object we can use the as_enum() method to present the Kind object as an easy to read KindEnum object.

print("  Kind from integer:")
kind = Kind(1)
print(f"     - Kind 1: {kind.as_enum()}")
kind = Kind(0)
print(f"     - Kind 0: {kind.as_enum()}")
kind = Kind(3)
print(f"     - Kind 3: {kind.as_enum()}")

Alternatively, if you are less familiar with the specific integer values for a Kind we can use the individual Kind classes, in conjunction with the KindEnum class, to generate the objects. Below we see the TEXT_NOTE(), METADATA() and CONTACT_LIST() enums being passed to an instance of the Kind class via the from_enum() method.

In order to present these as their integer values we can use the as_u16() method.

print("  Kind from enum:")
kind = Kind.from_enum(cast(KindEnum, KindEnum.TEXT_NOTE()))
print(f"     - Kind TEXT_NOTE: {kind.as_u16()}")
kind = Kind.from_enum(cast(KindEnum, KindEnum.METADATA()))
print(f"     - Kind METADATA: {kind.as_u16()}")
kind = Kind.from_enum(cast(KindEnum, KindEnum.CONTACT_LIST()))
print(f"     - Kind CONTRACT_LIST: {kind.as_u16()}")

Working with kinds is facilitated by the Kind class. Unlike the Python bindings there is no enumeration of the kinds, so it helps to be familiar with the specific integer value for a given Kind. The you call an instance of the class Kind() and passing the specific number for the Kind you wish to create.

In the example below we've used the common 0/1/3 Kinds (user metadata, text note and following list, respectively) as an illustration of this.

Once we've created the Kind object we can use the toString() method to present access a string of its integer value.

console.log("  Kind by number:");
let kind = new Kind(1);
console.log(`     - Kind 1: ${kind.toString()}`);
kind = new Kind(0);
console.log(`     - Kind 0: ${kind.toString()}`);
kind = new Kind(3);
console.log(`     - Kind 3: ${kind.toString()}`);

Although it's possible to construct EventBuilder objects by passing the Kind class as the first argument (see Event section for examples), one of the simplest ways of constructing Event objects is by using the purpose built methods available to the EventBuilder class. For example, the text_note() method can be used to quickly and efficiently create Kind 1 events, the metadata() and contact_list() methods can be used in much the same way.

print("  Kind methods EventBuilder:")
event  = EventBuilder.text_note("This is a note").sign_with_keys(keys)
print(f"     - Kind text_note(): {event.kind().as_u16()} - {event.kind().as_enum()}")
event  = EventBuilder.metadata(Metadata()).sign_with_keys(keys)
print(f"     - Kind metadata(): {event.kind().as_u16()} - {event.kind().as_enum()}")
event  = EventBuilder.contact_list([]).sign_with_keys(keys)
print(f"     - Kind contact_list(): {event.kind().as_u16()} - {event.kind().as_enum()}")

Occasionally you may want more generic usage of kinds, like if you wanted to create your own custom (or experimental) event type, or if you want to leverage one of the commonly defined event types (i.e. replaceable, ephemeral, regular, etc.).

kind = Kind(1337)
print(f"Custom Event Kind: {kind.as_u16()} - {kind.as_enum()}")

There are multiple methods by which we can create tag objects all of which form part of the Tag class. The simplest of which are the more commonly used single letter tags. In the example below the e, p, a, d, r and t tags are created passing the relevant object/string values to the tag methods event(), public_key(), coordinate(), identifier(), relay_metadata() and hashtag(), respectively.

print("  Single Letter Tags:")
# Event ID (hex)
tag = Tag.event(event.id())
print(f"     - Event ID (hex)     : {tag.as_vec()}")
# Public Key (hex)
tag = Tag.public_key(keys.public_key())
print(f"     - Public Key (hex)   : {tag.as_vec()}")
# Coordinate to event
tag = Tag.coordinate(Coordinate(Kind(0), keys.public_key()))
print(f"     - Coordinate to event: {tag.as_vec()}")
# Identifier
tag = Tag.identifier("This is an identifier value")
print(f"     - Identifier         : {tag.as_vec()}")
# Reference/Relay
tag = Tag.relay_metadata("wss://relay.example.com",RelayMetadata.READ)
print(f"     - Reference/Relays   : {tag.as_vec()}")
# Hashtag
tag = Tag.hashtag("#AskNostr")
print(f"     - Hashtag            : {tag.as_vec()}")

For the less commonly used but well defined tags the combination of the custom() method is used with an appropriate instance of the TagKind class. Please refer to the documentation for a more comprehensive list of the available options.

print("  Custom Tags:")
tag = Tag.custom(cast(TagKind, TagKind.SUMMARY()), ["This is a summary"])
print(f"     - Summary    : {tag.as_vec()}")
tag = Tag.custom(cast(TagKind, TagKind.AMOUNT()), ["42"])
print(f"     - Amount     : {tag.as_vec()}")
tag = Tag.custom(cast(TagKind, TagKind.TITLE()), ["This is a title"])
print(f"     - Title      : {tag.as_vec()}")
tag = Tag.custom(cast(TagKind, TagKind.SUBJECT()), ["This is a subject"])
print(f"     - Subject    : {tag.as_vec()}")
tag = Tag.custom(cast(TagKind, TagKind.DESCRIPTION()), ["This is a description"])
print(f"     - Description: {tag.as_vec()}")
tag = Tag.custom(cast(TagKind, TagKind.URL()), ["https://example.com"])
print(f"     - URL        : {tag.as_vec()}")

Finally, if you are looking to parse lists into tag objects the parse() method can be called and passed a list of strings where the first position in the list would represent the tag name and the subsequent strings represent the values.

print("  Parsing Tags:")
tag = Tag.parse(["L","Label Namespace"])
print(f"     - Label Namespace: {tag.as_vec()}")
tag = Tag.parse(["l","Label Value"])
print(f"     - Label Value    : {tag.as_vec()}")

Once you have a Tag object, it is relatively straight forward to access the attributes and other related content. The kind() method can be used to access the underlying TagKind object, the single_letter_tag() method returns the SingleLetterTag object and content() method will return the content of the first value position within the tag (position 1 in the array).

The as_standardized() and as_vec() methods will return the tag in both TagStandard (enum) format or as an array of strings, respectively.

print("  Working with Tags:")
tag = Tag.public_key(keys.public_key())
print(f"     - Kind     : {tag.kind()}")
print(f"     - Letter   : {tag.single_letter_tag()}")
print(f"     - Content  : {tag.content()}")
print(f"     - As Std   : {tag.as_standardized()}")
print(f"     - As Vector: {tag.as_vec()}")

One last point of note is that when processing non-single letter tags it is useful to be able to easily perform tests on these. We can use the kind() method to first surface the TagKind and then call the relevant "is_x" method (e.g. is_title() or is_summary() per the example below) to return a boolean result.

print("  Logical Tests:")
tag = Tag.custom(cast(TagKind, TagKind.SUMMARY()), ["This is a summary"])
print(f"     - Tag1 (Title?)  : {tag.kind().is_title()}")
print(f"     - Tag1 (Summary?): {tag.kind().is_summary()}")

Adding more conditions to existing objects can be done by simply calling the relevant method on the instance of the object. In this example we create a initial filter with pubkeys(), ids(), kinds() and a single author() then modify the object further to include another kind (4) to the existing list of kinds (0, 1).

Similarly, the range of 'remove' methods (e.g. remove_kinds()) allow us to take an existing filter and remove unwanted conditions without needed to reconstruct the filter object from scratch.

We can parse existing filter JSON object using the fromJson() method when instantiating a filter object.

// Parse filter
console.log("  Parse Filter from Json:");
const fJson = f.asJson();
f = Filter.fromJson(fJson);
console.log(`     ${f.asJson()}`);

Using the from_mnemonic() method in conjunction with the Keys class to derived a basic set of Nostr keys from a 24 word seed phrase.

Note that this example uses the Mnemonic class from the python-mnemonic package (the reference implementation of BIP-39) to randomly generate example seed phrases.

# Generate random Seed Phrase (24 words e.g. 256 bits entropy)
print("Keys from 24 word Seed Phrase:")
words = Mnemonic("english").generate(strength=256)
passphrase = ""

# Use Seed Phrase to generate basic Nostr keys
keys = Keys.from_mnemonic(words, passphrase)

print(f" Seed Words (24)  : {words}")
print(f" Public key bech32: {keys.public_key().to_bech32()}")
print(f" Secret key bech32: {keys.secret_key().to_bech32()}")

As well as deriving basic keys from a 24 word seed we can also use seed phrases of other lengths such as 18 words or, as in this example, 12 words.

# Generate random Seed Phrase (12 words e.g. 128 bits entropy)
print("Keys from 12 word Seed Phrase:")
words = Mnemonic("english").generate(strength=128)
passphrase = ""

# Use Seed Phrase to generate basic Nostr keys
keys = Keys.from_mnemonic(words, passphrase)

print(f" Seed Words (12)  : {words}")
print(f" Public key bech32: {keys.public_key().to_bech32()}")
print(f" Secret key bech32: {keys.secret_key().to_bech32()}")

Advanced key derivation functionality (for accounts) can be accessed by the from_mnemonic() method. To do this we use the account argument which accepts an integer to specify the derivation path.

# Advanced (with accounts) from the example wordlist
words = "leader monkey parrot ring guide accident before fence cannon height naive bean"
passphrase = ""

print("Accounts (0-5) from 12 word Seed Phrase (with passphrase):")
print(f" Seed Words (12): {words}")

    nsec = Keys.from_mnemonic(words, passphrase, account).secret_key().to_bech32()
    print(f"     Account #{account} bech32: {nsec}")

This final example utilizes the same seed as for the previous example, but also includes a passphrase. It illustrates the effect of inclusion of a passphrase on the key derivation.

The simplest way to create relay metadata events is via the relay_list() method and EventBuilder class. To do this we pass the method a dictionary containing the relay URL (key) and READ/WRITE (value), which is set using the RelayMetadata class.

Note that where no read or write value is specified (e.g. None), these should be handled as both read and write by clients (as indicated in the NIP-65 specification).

# Create relay dictionary
relays_dict = {
    "wss://relay.damus.io": RelayMetadata.READ,
    "wss://relay.primal.net": RelayMetadata.WRITE,
    "wss://relay.nostr.band": None
}

# Build/sign event
builder = EventBuilder.relay_list(relays_dict)
event = builder.sign_with_keys(keys)

# Print event as json
print(f" Event: {event.as_json()}")

As an alternative approach, the Tag class and relay_metadata() method can be used to create individual tag objects for inclusion in a purpose built kind:10002 event.

# Create relay metadata tags
tag1 = Tag.relay_metadata("wss://relay.damus.io", RelayMetadata.READ)
tag2 = Tag.relay_metadata("wss://relay.primal.net", RelayMetadata.WRITE)
tag3 = Tag.relay_metadata("wss://relay.nostr.band", None)

# Build/sign event
kind = Kind(10002)
builder = EventBuilder(kind = kind, content = "").tags([tag1, tag2, tag3])
event = builder.sign_with_keys(keys)

# Print event as json
print(f" Event: {event.as_json()}")

The simplest way to create relay metadata events is via the relayList() method and EventBuilder class. To do this we can simply use the RelayListItem class to create a list of relay objects containing the relay URL and READ/WRITE, which is set using the RelayMetadata class.

The ClientMessage class easily handles the construction of the 3 main message types EVENT, REQ, and CLOSE. In the examples below we can utilize the relevant class methods event(), req() and close(), respectively, to create the client message objects.

Once we have the ClientMessage objects we can use the as_enum() or as_json() methods to present their content. Note that when using as_enum() we unlock some additional methods associated with the ClientMessageEnum class. These allow for logical tests to be performed to establish the type of message object being assessed (for example, is_req() will return a bool result assessing if the object represents an REQ message type).

# Event client message
print("  Event Client Message:")
message = ClientMessage.event(event)
print(f"     - Event Message: {message.as_enum().is_event_msg()}")
print(f"     - JSON: {message.as_json()}")

Note that when constructing a REQ we want to pass through a Filter object which will allow the relay to return data meeting a given set of criteria. Please jump to the Filter section for more details on how to construct these objects.

# Request client message
print("  Request Client Message:")
f = Filter().id(event.id())
message = ClientMessage.req(subscription_id="ABC123", filters=[f])
print(f"     - Request Message: {message.as_enum().is_req()}")
print(f"     - JSON: {message.as_json()}")

# Close client message
print("  Close Client Message:")
message = ClientMessage.close("ABC123")
print(f"     - Close Message: {message.as_enum().is_close()}")
print(f"     - JSON: {message.as_json()}")

When presented with a client message object as either a JSON or an instance of the ClientMessageEnum class we can parse these data using the from_json() or from_enum() methods, respectively.

# Parse Messages from JSON and/or Enum
print("  Parse Client Messages:")
message = ClientMessage.from_json('["REQ","ABC123",{"#p":["421a4dd67be773903f805bcb7975b4d3377893e0e09d7563b8972ee41031f551"]}]')

As an extension of the client messaging section of the protocol NIP-42 and NIP-45 introduce two new messaging types AUTH and COUNT.

The AUTH type is designed to facilitate a method by which clients can authenticate with a given relay. Whereas the COUNT type offers a method for clients can request simple counts of events from relays. These are constructed in much the same way as the earlier message examples, by using the ClientMessage class in conjunction with the relevant methods auth() and count(). As before the as_enum() method can be used to unlock logical test methods (e.g., is_auth()) associated with these message objects.

Note that COUNT is effectively a specific type of REQ message therefore it utilizes the Filter object in constructing the criteria which should be used by the relay to return the count value.

Finally, the ClientMessageEnum class also opens up three additional message types NEG_OPEN(), NEG_CLOSE() and NEG_MSG(). These do not form part of the standard protocol specification but instead form part of an additional protocol Negentropy for handling set-reconciliation.

To construct these we need to first create them as instance of the ClientMessageEnum class and then pass these into a ClientMessage object using the from_enum() method.

# Negative Open Message
print("  Negative Client Message (open):")

The AUTH type is designed to facilitate a method by which clients can authenticate with a given relay. Whereas the COUNT type offers a method for relays to provide simple counts of events to clients (upon request). These are constructed in much the same way as the earlier message examples, by using the RelayMessage class in conjunction with the relevant methods auth() and count().

console.log("  Auth Relay Message:");
relayMessage = RelayMessage.auth("I Challenge You To A Duel! (or some other challenge string)");
console.log(`     - JSON: ${relayMessage.asJson()}`);

console.log("  Count Relay Message:");
relayMessage = RelayMessage.count("subscription_ID_abc123", 42);
console.log(`     - JSON: ${relayMessage.asJson()}`);

Finally, the RelayMessageEnum class also opens up two additional message types NEG_ERR() and NEG_CODE(). These do not form part of the standard protocol specification but do have specific uses when it comes to providing methods by which error messaging (or error codes) can be handled by relays. To construct these we need to first create them as instance of the RelayMessageEnum class and then pass these into a RelayMessage object using the from_enum() method.

# Negative Error Code
print("  Negative Relay Message (code):")
relay_message_neg = RelayMessageEnum.NEG_ERR("subscription_ID_abc123", "404")
message = RelayMessage.from_enum(cast(RelayMessageEnum, relay_message_neg))
print(f"     - Negative Error Code: {message.as_enum().is_neg_err()}")
print(f"     - JSON: {message.as_json()}")

# Negative Error Message
print("  Negative Relay Message (message):")
relay_message_neg = RelayMessageEnum.NEG_MSG("subscription_ID_abc123", "This is not the message you are looking for")
message = RelayMessage.from_enum(cast(RelayMessageEnum, relay_message_neg))
print(f"     - Negative Error Message: {message.as_enum().is_neg_msg()}")
print(f"     - JSON: {message.as_json()}")
