TronNRG.php
Open
Download the NRG SDK

Now we need to set up our IEXBASE using...

  • Your private key

  • Your address

Then initialize the NRG class with the IEXBASE variable 

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use IEXBase\TronAPI\Tron;
use IEXBase\TronAPI\Exception\TronException;
require 'TronNRG.php';

$fullNode = new \IEXBase\TronAPI\Provider\HttpProvider('https://api.trongrid.io');
$solidityNode = new \IEXBase\TronAPI\Provider\HttpProvider('https://api.trongrid.io');
$eventServer = new \IEXBase\TronAPI\Provider\HttpProvider('https://api.trongrid.io');

// Initialize Tron
try {
    $tron = new Tron($fullNode, $solidityNode, $eventServer);
    $tron->setPrivateKey("Replace with your private key");
    $tron->setAddress("Replace with the address associated with your private key");
    $NRG = new TronNRG($tron);  // Initialize the TronNRG SDK
} catch (TronException $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage());
}

// Example values to use for our function call
$address = "Replace with your target address";  // Replace with your target address the address you wish to apply energy to
$unitType = 1;
$amount = 10000; // amount of energy units
$affiliate = 0;  // affiliate id if you have one from https://tronnrg.com/Register
$rentalPeriod = 1;  // For example, 1 hour

// Call the checkAndRentEnergy function this will check if their is enough available enegry and then rent it to the address 
$NRG->checkAndRentNRG($address, $unitType, $amount, $affiliate, $rentalPeriod);

?>

If you are applying energy to other users accounts you may consider joining the NRG affiliate program, which allows you to earn 5% commission from your sales. Get your ID and pass it into the call.

Call the buyEnergy function with the following parameters:

  • address: The address to delegate resources to

  • unitType: Integer value 1

  • amount: The amount of energy to rent

  • affiliate: The affiliate ID number, if available; otherwise, use 0 as the default

  • rentalPeriod: The length of the rental period in hours or days, depending on the unitType

Our easy to use SDK allows you to easy check current energy levels, get a quote and place an order in one easy to use function. You can also expose any of the functions to check energy levels and get a quote if you would like to do this separately below is the full SDK file.
