## Prerequisites

Before you start, you'll need:

1. **Hedera Account**:

   - Create a testnet account at [portal.hedera.com](https://portal.hedera.com)
   - Save your Account ID (e.g., `0.0.123456`)
   - Save your Private Key (DER Encoded)

2. **WalletConnect Project** (for browser apps):

   - Create an account at [cloud.walletconnect.com](https://cloud.walletconnect.com)
   - Create a new project
   - Save your Project ID

3. **Kiloscribe API Key**:

   - Get your API key from [kiloscribe.com/inscription-api](https://kiloscribe.com/inscription-api)

4. **Development Environment**:
   - Node.js 20 or later
   - npm or yarn

## Installation

### For Node.js/Backend Projects

```bash
# Install the SDK and its peer dependencies
npm install @kiloscribe/inscription-sdk @hashgraph/sdk
```

### For Browser/Frontend Projects

```bash
# Install the SDK and wallet connection dependencies
npm install @kiloscribe/inscription-sdk @hashgraphonline/hashinal-wc @hashgraph/sdk @hashgraph/hedera-wallet-connect
```

## Getting Started

**Topic Id** : **0.0.8084856**

### 1. Set Up Your Environment

Create a `.env` file in your project root:

```env
# Required for all projects
API_KEY=your_kiloscribe_api_key
HEDERA_NETWORK=testnet  # or mainnet

# For Node.js projects using private key
HEDERA_ACCOUNT_ID=0.0.123456
HEDERA_PRIVATE_KEY=302...

# For browser projects using WalletConnect
WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id
```

### 2. Choose Your Integration Method

#### A. Browser Apps with WalletConnect (Recommended)

This method lets users connect their existing Hedera wallet (like HashPack):

1. Install dependencies:

```bash
npm install @kiloscribe/inscription-sdk @hashgraphonline/hashinal-wc @hashgraph/sdk
```

2. Create your app:

```typescript
import { HashinalsWalletConnectSDK } from '@hashgraphonline/hashinal-wc';
import { InscriptionSDK } from '@kiloscribe/inscription-sdk';
import { LedgerId } from '@hashgraph/sdk';

// Initialize SDKs
const wallet = new HashinalsWalletConnectSDK();
const sdk = new InscriptionSDK({
  apiKey: process.env.API_KEY,
  network: 'testnet',
});

// Connect wallet (shows QR code or deep links to wallet)
const { accountId } = await wallet.connectWallet(
  process.env.WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID,
  {
    name: 'My dApp',
    description: 'Example dApp',
    url: window.location.origin,
    icons: ['https://my-dapp.com/icon.png'],
  },
  LedgerId.TESTNET
);

// Get signer for the connected account
const dAppSigner = wallet.dAppConnector.signers.find(
  (signer) => signer.getAccountId().toString() === accountId
)!;

// Create an inscription
const result = await sdk.inscribe(
  {
    file: {
      type: 'base64',
      base64: 'your_base64_data',
      fileName: 'example.png',
      mimeType: 'image/png',
    },
    holderId: accountId,
    mode: 'file', // or 'hashinal' for NFTs
    network: 'testnet',
    description: 'Example inscription',
  },
  dAppSigner
);

// Wait for inscription to complete
const complete = await sdk.waitForInscription(
  result.jobId,
  30, // max attempts
  4000, // interval in ms
  true // check for completion status
);

console.log('Inscription complete:', {
  topic_id: complete.topic_id,
  status: complete.status,
});
```

## B. Loading via HCS-3 Recursion

Load the SDK directly from the Hedera Hashgraph using HCS-3 recursion:

        });
      };
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
```

#### C. Node.js Apps with Private Key

This method is for backend services or scripts:

1. Install dependencies:

```bash
npm install @kiloscribe/inscription-sdk @hashgraph/sdk
```

2. Create your script:

```typescript
import { InscriptionSDK } from '@kiloscribe/inscription-sdk';
import * as fs from 'fs';

const sdk = new InscriptionSDK({
  apiKey: process.env.API_KEY,
  network: process.env.HEDERA_NETWORK,
});

// Read a file
const file = fs.readFileSync('path/to/file.png');
const base64 = file.toString('base64');

// Create an inscription
const result = await sdk.inscribeAndExecute(
  {
    file: {
      type: 'base64',
      base64,
      fileName: 'example.png',
      mimeType: 'image/png',
    },
    holderId: process.env.HEDERA_ACCOUNT_ID,
    mode: 'file',
    network: process.env.HEDERA_NETWORK,
    description: 'Example inscription',
  },
  {
    accountId: process.env.HEDERA_ACCOUNT_ID,
    privateKey: process.env.HEDERA_PRIVATE_KEY,
    network: process.env.HEDERA_NETWORK,
  }
);
```

## Creating Different Types of Inscriptions

### 1. Basic File Inscription

Upload any supported file type:

```typescript
// retrieve dAppConnector from hedera-wallet-connect

const dAppSigner = dAppConnector.signers.find((signer) => {
  return signer.getAccountId().toString() === accountId;
});
const result = await sdk.inscribe(
  {
    file: {
      type: 'base64',
      base64: 'your_base64_data',
      fileName: 'example.png',
      mimeType: 'image/png',
    },
    holderId: accountId,
    mode: 'file',
    network: 'testnet',
    description: 'My first inscription',
  },
  dAppSigner // or use inscribeAndExecute with private key
);
```

### 2. Hashinal NFT

Create an NFT with metadata:

```typescript
async function inscribeHashinal() {
  const sdk = new InscriptionSDK({
    apiKey: process.env.KILOSCRIBE_API_KEY,
    network: 'testnet',
  });

  const imagePath = join(__dirname, 'assets', 'example.webp');
  const imageBuffer = readFileSync(imagePath);
  const base64Image = imageBuffer.toString('base64');

  try {
    const result = await sdk.inscribeAndExecute(
      {
        file: {
          type: 'base64',
          base64: base64Image,
          fileName: 'example.webp',
          mimeType: 'image/webp',
        },
        holderId: '0.0.123456',
        mode: 'hashinal',
        network: 'testnet',
        description: 'Example hashinal inscription',
        metadataObject: {
          name: 'Example NFT',
          description: 'This is an example NFT',
          attributes: [
            {
              trait_type: 'Example Trait',
              value: 'Example Value',
            },
          ],
        },
      },
      {
        accountId: '0.0.123456',
        privateKey: process.env.HEDERA_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY!,
        network: 'testnet',
      }
    );

    console.log('Inscription completed:', result);

    // You can also retrieve the inscription status
    const status = await sdk.retrieveInscription(result.jobId);
    console.log('Inscription status:', status);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error instanceof Error ? error.message : error);
  }
}

// Run the example
inscribeHashinal().catch(console.error);
```

### 3. URL Inscription

Inscribe a file from a URL:

```typescript
const result = await sdk.inscribe(
  {
    file: {
      type: 'url',
      url: 'https://example.com/image.png',
    },
    holderId: accountId,
    mode: 'file',
    network: 'testnet',
    description: 'URL inscription',
  },
  dAppSigner
);
```

## Querying Inscriptions

### Get Inscriptions

You can fetch inscriptions by their sequence numbers:

```typescript
// Get inscription details by sequence number
const inscriptions = await sdk.getInscriptionNumbers({
  inscriptionNumber: 1234, // Optional: specific inscription number
  sort: 'desc', // Optional: 'asc' or 'desc'
  limit: 10, // Optional: max results to return
});

console.log(inscriptions);
```

### Get Holder Inscriptions

You can fetch all inscriptions owned by a specific holder:

```typescript
// Get all inscriptions for a specific holder
const holderInscriptions = await sdk.getHolderInscriptions({
  holderId: '0.0.123456', // Required: Hedera account ID of the holder
  includeCollections: true, // Optional: Include collection inscriptions
});

console.log(`Found ${holderInscriptions.length} inscriptions`);

// Access individual inscription details
holderInscriptions.forEach((inscription) => {
  console.log(`ID: ${inscription.id}`);
  console.log(`Status: ${inscription.status}`);
  console.log(`File URL: ${inscription.fileUrl}`);
  console.log(`Topic ID: ${inscription.topic_id}`);
});
```

## Checking Inscription Status

The SDK provides two methods for checking inscription status:

### 1. Simple Status Check

```typescript
const status = await sdk.retrieveInscription(result.jobId);
console.log('Status:', status.status);
```

### 2. Wait for Completion

The `waitForInscription` method will poll until the inscription meets completion criteria:

```typescript
const complete = await sdk.waitForInscription(
  result.jobId,
  30, // max attempts (optional, default: 30)
  4000, // interval in ms (optional, default: 4000)
  true // check completion status (optional, default: false)
);
```

Completion criteria varies by inscription type:

- Regular files: Need `topic_id`
- Hashinal NFTs: Need both `topic_id` and `jsonTopicId`
- Dynamic files (HCS-6): Need `topic_id`, `jsonTopicId`, and `registryTopicId`

If `checkCompletion` is true, also verifies `status === 'completed'`.

## Examples

### Vanilla JavaScript Demo

A minimal example using vanilla JavaScript and HCS-3 recursion is available in the `demo/vanilla` directory.

See the full example in `demo/vanilla/index.html` for wallet integration and inscription querying.

- Check if your private key matches your account ID
- Verify you're using the correct network

### 3. "File too large"

- URL inscriptions: Max 100MB
- Base64/Local files: Max 2MB
- Try compressing your file or using a URL instead

### 4. WalletConnect Issues

- Ensure your wallet (e.g., HashPack) is installed and on the correct network
- Check if your WalletConnect Project ID is correct
- Try clearing your browser cache

## Error Handling

Always wrap SDK calls in try-catch:

```typescript
try {
  const result = await sdk.inscribe(config, signer);
  console.log('Inscription started:', result.jobId);

  // Poll for status
  const checkStatus = async () => {
    const status = await sdk.retrieveInscription(result.jobId);
    console.log('Status:', status.status);

    if (status.status !== 'completed' && status.status !== 'failed') {
      setTimeout(checkStatus, 2000); // Check every 2 seconds
    }
  };

  checkStatus();
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error:', error instanceof Error ? error.message : error);
}
```
