Here is my piece of web3.py code. I have implemented the smart contract on rinkeby testnet using remix. I am able to call other functions, but when I am calling the transact function I am getting following error.
CODE:
web3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider(url))
web3.middleware_onion.inject(geth_poa_middleware, layer=0)
print(web3.isConnected())
class SendCoin:
def send_coin_on_reps(self, reps):
print(web3.isConnected())
# web3.eth.defaultAccount = web3.eth.accounts[-1]
# INTRACTING WITH REMIX CONTRACT
abi = json.load()
deployed_contract_address = web3.toChecksumAddress('0x40eab3d93EFE536560Ad5802B15EAb56203c3A48')
contract = web3.eth.contract(address = deployed_contract_address, abi = abi)
print(contract)
reward = contract.functions.getReward().call()
print("reward = ", reward)
tx_hash = contract.functions.setReward(reps).transact()

It looks to me like you're trying to use a hosted node as if it were a local node. You can read more about the difference in the web3.py docs .
In short: there is no eth_sendTransaction
on a hosted node (like Infura, Alchemy, etc), because hosted nodes don't have access to your private keys.
In order to transact()
, you need an account funded with ether. Where is the private key for that account? If you have it in python, then you'll want to use the API for signing a contract transaction with local keys .
Otherwise, if the private key is in a local node, like geth, then you'll need to connect to that correctly, probably using an IPC connection. Then a simple transact()
invocation should run fine.
