  Discontinued A comprehensive Python module for handling Monero cryptocurrency

  

I have a bot that I’ve written in python and I would like to extend it to watch a monero node, which I am running locally, for transactions using a private view key and then perform an action if a transaction occurs. I’ve looked through both the documentation and the sources for monero-python and I just can’t seem to figure out how to get it to use an existing viewkey. I can connect to my node and interact with the blockchain. I see how I can generate a new wallet and get its view key, but I just don’t see how I go about loading a view key so that I can use it to verify transactions using the viewkey I already have. Does anybody know how I would go about doing this? I would even settle for information about how to do this just with the json_rpc from the daemon, if that’s the best information someone knows (yes, I’ve read the docs, I’m clearly just looking right past the answer). I have read how to use `monero-wallet-cl` with `--generate-from-view-key`, but I’m hoping there’s a way for my bot to do this directly. Thanks for the help.
