Interacting With Chainlink Contracts
From Chainlink Community Wiki
How to Query Chainlink Contracts
This page will provide you with information regarding how to query a Chainlink Aggregator
Included are some examples using bash.
All examples are based on the LINK / USD price feed on Ethereum Mainnet
Overview
Each Chainlink Aggregator has a wide range of data that you can query.
From historic price data to the timestamp of the most recent completed round, a lot of information is stored on-chain and available for you to query.
This page will be broken out into each major contract type, and then each individual query that can be made, with examples.
How To Format Request Data
Formatting the data we want to send in our RPC calls is a bit tricky if you've never done it before.
This page will assist you in learning how to do this as well as provide outside resources to make it a bit easier.
Formatting RPC Call Data
In the Below tables, you can navigate to pages specific to deploying, verifying, and managing/updating each of the contracts.
Additionally, there are also pages specific to the various read and write calls for each contract with bash+curl examples.
While curl is nowhere near the most common way to interact with smartcontracts, I felt it would provide the necessary information in the most basic manner.
