I accidentally deleted the default rinkeby network that comes with brownie and wanted to know how to add it back? I tried with the below cmd by creating an infura project but I'm getting the ValueError: Explorer API not set for this network error even when I add publish_source=True in my brownie config file. Without the public_source, I'm not able to verify my contract. It does get successfully deployed on Rinkeby Testnet.

brownie networks add Ethereum rinkeby host='https://rinkeby.infura.io/v3/34aa4a5993b44e00904f0ba64a27a156' chainid=4

I tried with default Kovan Testnet and it worked after waiting for hours to get verified.

For verifying a contract you need to mention the Explorer API in your network so you can add the network as:

brownie networks add Ethereum rinkeby host='https://rinkeby.infura.io/v3/34aa4a5993b44e00904f0ba64a27a156' chainid=4
explorer='https://api-rinkeby.etherscan.io/api'

  • Thank you for replying! but its still giving Explorer API not set for this network error. I restarted a new infura project and it still gives the same error.
