We are happy to release today our improved set of tools — we keep pushing our efforts to create a more user-friendly environment for developers willing to build on top of Oraclize.

Here is a list of tools that will make the Oraclize integration process smoother.

Remix plug-in

Our old Web IDE has been replaced with a new Remix plug-in. This will enable users to integrate the Oraclize APIs and design the Oraclize-enabled smart contract straight away from Remix. The plug-in allows users to execute the data-rich smart contract in memory, try out the query & callback process and detect any errors.

Some code examples are included so that getting started is even easier.

Truffle box

Our Oraclize Truffle box is here! We have created a starters box showing how to leverage Oraclize within the Truffle framework. It contains the usingOraclize.sol APIs as well as some example smart contracts. It will be heavily extended in the future to provide a step by step tutorial.

#it is that easy to get started!
$ truffle unbox oraclize/truffle-starter

Test query page

We have created a new improved version of the Test query page, for developers to try out their Oraclize queries. This tool enables users to test queries in order for them to verify the validity of the format of their queries.

Check query status page

Another useful tool that we are releasing today is the Check query status page, enabling developers to check the status of their Oraclize queries and callbacks. It works with all kinds of context: Ethereum Mainnet, all Ethereum testnets, Ethereum private networks, Remix, etc.

The tool also provides details on the query structure (and the computation archive, in case of queries referred to the computation datasource) as well as callback specifications, including any failures that might have happened.

Note that you can either specify the Query ID or the query/callback transaction id, the tool will automatically detect the corresponding query and show more information about it.
