PrivacyBoostCLI

Main CLI SDK interface for Rust applications.

Constructor

pub fn new(config: CliConfig) -> Result<Self, CliError>

Creates a new CLI SDK instance. Parameters:

config - CLI configuration

Returns: Result<PrivacyBoostCLI, CliError> Example:

use privacy_boost_cli::{PrivacyBoostCLI, CliConfig};

let config = CliConfig::new(
    "https://test-api.privacyboost.io".into(),
    11155420,
    "0xB22fD661b322F10d4B7cd0cFcb9578C485423119".into(),
    "https://eth.llamarpc.com".into(),
);

let sdk = PrivacyBoostCLI::new(config)?;

Connection & Authentication Methods

    &self,
    private_key: &str,
    key_source: Option<KeySource>,

) -> Result<AuthResult, CliError>

Connect wallet using a private key, derive privacy keys, and authenticate with the Privacy Boost backend in a single call. Parameters:

private_key - Hex-encoded private key
key_source - Optional key derivation source. None defaults to WalletDerived. Options: KeySource::WalletDerived, KeySource::Mnemonic { phrase }, KeySource::RawSeed { hex_seed }
