whatsminer-api
Unofficial python api for MicroBT Whatsminer ASICs
Code adapted from a python file found in the Whatsminer Telegram group that is credited to @passby
Installation
Python 3.x is required.
pip install whatsminer
Basic Usage
Instantiate a WhatsminerAccessToken for each ASIC that you want to access. Then make read-only or writeable API calls through WhatsminerAPI
Read-only information can be retrieved with just the ASIC's ip address:
from whatsminer import WhatsminerAccessToken, WhatsminerAPI
token = WhatsminerAccessToken(ip_address="192.168.1.100")
summary_json = WhatsminerAPI.get_read_only_info(access_token=token,
cmd="summary")
The writeable API commands can be executed by providing the ASIC's admin password:
# The token from above can be enabled for writeable access:
token.enable_write_access(admin_password="the_admin_password")
# Or you can directly instantiate a writeable one:
token = WhatsminerAccessToken(ip_address="192.168.1.100",
admin_password="the_admin_passwd")
json_response = WhatsminerAPI.exec_command(access_token=token,
cmd="power_off",
additional_params={"respbefore": "true"})
Writeable WhatsminerAccessToken objs will renew themselves if they go past the API's 30min expiration.
Managing multiple ASICs
You could define a whole server farm's worth of Whatsminer ASICs and manage them all in one script:
asics = [
('192.168.1.100', 'some_admin_pass'),
('192.168.1.101', 'some_admin_pass'),
('192.168.1.102', 'some_admin_pass'),
('192.168.1.103', 'some_admin_pass'),
('192.168.1.104', 'some_admin_pass'),
('192.168.1.105', 'some_admin_pass'),
]
tokens = []
for asic_info in asics:
tokens.append(WhatsminerAccessToken(ip_address=asic_info[0], admin_password=asic_info[1]))
# Find machines running too hot
for token in tokens:
json_summary = WhatsminerAPI.get_read_only_info(access_token=token, cmd="summary")
if json_summary['SUMMARY'][0]['Temperature'] > 78.0:
# stop mining on this ASIC
WhatsminerAPI.exec_command(access_token=token, cmd="power_off", additional_params={"respbefore": "true"})
API Documentation
It's very difficult to find any information about the Whatsminer API. This PDF documentation is slightly out of date but is the best source found so far:
