Nick Ninov 8a51bdf340 docs: Improve search and readability
- Related to https://github.com/status-im/status-bot/issues/11
- Document features that can be used with `infura_token`
- Add `coingecko_api_key` **but needs additional documentation and validation**.
- Add sub headers in `Methods` and `Properties`
- Add diagrams for `How it works` and `Setup`
- Add Status App images for relatability

# Status Python SDK
![Status Python SDK header image](./images/overview-header.png)
The initial Python Status Backend was built with testing in mind, instead of easy developer access. The objective of this repository is to make a SDK that is:
- **light** - as less external packages when it comes to working with Status App
- **fast** - quick to get started with Status Python
- **documented** - clear explanations of what was done and **why it was done in a specific way**.
Currently this repository is not on [PyPi](https://pypi.org/) but will be added when core functionality has been devleoped and tested.
## How it works
```mermaid
graph TB
subgraph backend[status-im/status-go]
subgraph Endpoints[Network: status-bridge]
RPC[RPC]
HTTP[REST]
SOCKET[Web Socket]
end
Vol[(Backup)]
end
subgraph bot[Python SDK]
REQUIREMENTS[requirements.txt]
SDK[class Account]
SIGNAL[class Signal]
end
subgraph external[External Services]
COINGECKO[CoinGecko]
EVM
end
SDK --> SIGNAL
SDK --> |Port 8080| RPC
SDK --> |Port 8080| HTTP
SIGNAL --> |Port 8080| SOCKET
SDK --> Vol
RPC --> |coingecko_api_key| COINGECKO
RPC --> |infura_token| EVM
```
## Setup
To access Python funcitonality you will have to set up [Status Backend](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/). Easiest and fastest way to get it running would be with [Docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/).

User ->> Docker: docker-compose up
Docker ->> Github: Fetch Image
Docker ->> Docker: Build
User ->> Docker: Run container
User ->> Python: initialize module
Note over User,Python: from bot import Account<br>account = Account()
```
