Web3py: can not find ABI function after decoded

Question

Here is transaction https://etherscan.io/tx/0x6465187a7bb43a6db42ee63e5f5cc30fb094393957a7f1ce6c08b5afddf3e0bc

I don't know why my script can not find ABI Transfer() function after decoded on Chainlink: LINK Token address. The main problem is that script works correct, I tested on many transactions and appended 2 of them for example.

Perhaps problem is in Transfer() input params after decoding? But how to solve it?

ABI event not found!

Answer 1

I added this line to check the structure of event_abi

print("event_abi['name']",event_abi)

I was getting those results:

 {'anonymous': False, 'inputs': [{'indexed': True, 'internalType': 'address', 'name': 'from', 'type': 'address'}, {'indexed': True, 'internalType': 'address', 'name': 'to', 'type': 'address'}, {'indexed': False, 'internalType': 'uint256', 'name': 'value', 'type': 'uint256'}], 'name': 'Transfer', 'type': 'event'}

 {'anonymous': False, 'inputs': [{'indexed': True, 'internalType': 'address', 'name': 'from', 'type': 'address'}, {'indexed': True, 'internalType': 'address', 'name': 'to', 'type': 'address'}, {'indexed': False, 'internalType': 'uint256', 'name': 'value', 'type': 'uint256'}], 'name': 'Transfer', 'type': 'event'}


 [{'anonymous': False, 'inputs': [{'indexed': True, 'name': 'from', 'type': 'address'}, {'indexed': True, 'name': 'to', 'type': 'address'}, {'indexed': False, 'name': 'value', 'type': 'uint256'}, {'indexed': False, 'name': 'data', 'type': 'bytes'}], 'name': 'Transfer', 'type': 'event'}, {'anonymous': False, 'inputs': [{'indexed': True, 'name': 'owner', 'type': 'address'}, {'indexed': True, 'name': 'spender', 'type': 'address'}, {'indexed': False, 'name': 'value', 'type': 'uint256'}], 'name': 'Approval', 'type': 'event'}]

first 2 results were dict but the third one is a list. I was first getting this error:

---> 69 print(f"     {event_abi['name']} {data['value'] if 'value' in data else ''}")

TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

Because event_abi can either be a dictionary or a list of dictionaries. To handle this variability, I had to adjust how to access the 'name' key depending on the type of event_abi. so I added this

try:
    event_abi_entry = topic2abi[log['topics'][0]]
    if isinstance(event_abi_entry, dict):
        event_name = event_abi_entry.get('name', 'DefaultNmae')
        data = get_event_data(w3.codec, event_abi_entry, log_)['args']
        print(f"     {event_name} {data.get('value', '')}")
    elif isinstance(event_abi_entry, list):
        for abi_entry in event_abi_entry:
            event_name = abi_entry.get('name', 'DefaultName')
            data = get_event_data(w3.codec, abi_entry, log_)['args']
            print(f"     {event_name} {data.get('value', '')}")
    else:
        print("Event ABI entry is not in the expected format.")
except KeyError as e:
    exit('ABI event not found!')

and it does not throw KeyError. proof of work:
