For this last step, you are welcome to write your own code to achieve the purpose of this tutorial. We made available these code snippets so we can reach a full usecase quicker. All of this code is free to use or change to make your life easier.

5.2 Clone arkhia-quickstart and install packages​

5.3 Replace .env variables​

  • Fill the missing variables in the hedera/nodejs/.env.example file and rename it to .env

    • Arkhia API KEY & URL from a project created with your account

    • Hedera accounts from any Testnet accounts created (e.g. from Hedera portal)

   # TESTNET VARS    NETWORK_ID=296    ARKHIA_BASE_API_URL=REPLACE_YOUR_ARKHIA_API_URL    ARKHIA_API_KEY=YOUR_ARKHIA_API_KEY    OPERATOR_ID=REPLACE_YOUR_TREASURY_ACCOUNT    OPERATOR_PVKEY=REPLACE_YOUR_TREASURY_ACCOUNT    OPERATOR_PVKEY_ETH=REPLACE_YOUR_TREASURY_ACCOUNT_ETH    OPERATOR_ID_ECDSA=REPLACE_YOUR_TREASURY_ACCOUNT_ECDSA    OPERATOR_PVKEY_ECDSA=REPLACE_YOUR_TREASURY_ACCOUNT_ECDSA_PV_KEY    OPERATOR_ETHKEY_ECDSA=REPLACE_YOUR_TREASURY_ACCOUNT_ECDSA_PV_KEY_ETH    # TEST ACCOUNTS    ALICE_ID=OPTIONAL_ALICE_ACCOUNT_ID    ALICE_PVKEY=OPTIONAL_ALICE_ACCOUNT_PV    BOB_ID=OPTIONAL_BOB_ACCOUNT_ID    BOB_PVKEY=OPTIONAL_BOB_ACCOUNT_PV

5.4 Run Integration tests​

  • Go to path hedera/nodejs/ file.
  • Run command npm run test:all
  • Verify all the tests pass
