On-Going Referenda & Runtime Upgrade Checker

This script queries two APIs:

1. Sidecar from where it fetches the on-going referenda from the on-going-referenda endpoint.
2. Polkassembly from where it retrieves the corresponding titles for these referenda.

The script then checks if any of the titles include the word upgrade. If so, it highlights them with an additional attention message.

Prerequisites

• Node.js: Ensure you have Node.js installed.
• Axios: install axios by running npm install axios.
• Sidecar instance: Have a sidecar instance running locally (in a separate terminal).
  • The sidecar instance should be connected to the chain you would like to check the referendas.

How to run

• Run the script with the command node main.js.
• Optional argument: the block height at which to check the on-going referenda, e.g. node main.js {BLOCK}.

Example

• Spin up a Sidecar instance connected to the Kusama chain with the command NODE_ENV=kusama yarn start
  • .env.kusama : SAS_SUBSTRATE_URL=wss://kusama-rpc.polkadot.io
• In another terminal run this command

  node main.js 21652724
  

• The output you should see is the following .
