Pi Network Rust SDK

⚠️ Project Status: In Development
This project is currently in the planning and specification phase. We are seeking contributors to help build this SDK. No implementation has been completed yet.

A comprehensive, type-safe, and async-first Rust SDK for integrating with Pi Network APIs. This SDK will enable server-side applications to manage payments, authenticate users, and interact with the Stellar blockchain that powers Pi Network.

Planned Features

• User Authentication - Validate access tokens and retrieve user profiles
• Payment Management - Create, approve, cancel, and complete payments with full lifecycle support
• Stellar Integration - Send native Pi assets and query account balances across networks
• Async/Await Support - Built on tokio for high-performance concurrent operations
• Type Safety - Strongly-typed APIs with comprehensive error handling using thiserror
• Well Tested - Extensive unit and integration test coverage with mock servers
• Rich Documentation - Comprehensive rustdoc with examples and guides
• Performance Optimized - Connection pooling, retry logic, and efficient serialization
• Configurable - Flexible configuration with builder patterns and sensible defaults

Project Vision

This SDK aims to provide a comprehensive Rust interface for Pi Network APIs, based on the existing official C# SDK developed by the Pi Network team. The goal is to bring the same functionality to the Rust ecosystem with idiomatic Rust patterns and modern async/await support.

Project Documentation

Specification Documents

• Requirements Document - Detailed requirements and acceptance criteria
• Design Document - Architecture and technical design
• Implementation Tasks - Detailed task breakdown for contributors

Reference Materials

• Pi Network C# SDK - Official reference implementation
• Pi Platform APIs Documentation - Official API documentation
• API Base URL: https://api.minepi.com/v2
• Supported Endpoints:
  • GET /me - Get user information (requires Bearer token)
  • GET /payments/{payment_id} - Get payment details (requires API key)
  • POST /payments/{payment_id}/approve - Approve payment (requires API key)
  • POST /payments/{payment_id}/complete - Complete payment (requires API key)

Technical Approach

The SDK will be built using modern Rust practices and will include:

• Async-first design using tokio for non-blocking I/O operations
• Type-safe APIs leveraging Rust's type system to prevent runtime errors
• Comprehensive error handling using thiserror for clear error propagation
• Modular architecture with clean separation between authentication, payments, and Stellar operations
• Extensive testing including unit tests, integration tests, and benchmarks
• Rich documentation with rustdoc comments and practical examples

Planned Network Support

The SDK will support multiple Pi Network and Stellar networks:

• Pi Mainnet - Production Pi Network
• Pi Testnet - Pi Network testing environment
• Stellar Testnet - Stellar testing network for development

Contributing

We need your help! This project is in the early stages and we're looking for contributors to help build this SDK.

How to Get Started

1. Review the specifications:

   • Read the Requirements Document
   • Study the Design Document
   • Check the Implementation Tasks

2. Set up your development environment:

   • Start with foundational tasks like project setup or data models

Contribution Areas

We need help with:

• Project Setup - Initial Cargo.toml, module structure, and CI/CD

• Data Models - Implementing the Pi Network API data structures

• HTTP Client - Building the core client with proper error handling

• Authentication - User profile and token validation

• Payment Operations - Full payment lifecycle impleme We have issues labeled for different skill levels:

• 🟢 good first issue - Perfect for newcomers to Rust or the project

• 🟡 help wanted - Features and improvements we'd love help with

• 🔴 advanced - Complex features requiring deep Rust knowledge
