Simplewallet JSON RPC API

Aiwe edited this page Nov 23, 2018 · 5 revisions

To start wallet JSON RPC API server you should specify a port on which server binds (additionally to standard wallet's arguments). You can choose any free port. To do that execute the following command from the command line:

 simplewallet --wallet-file=example_wallet.bin --pass=12345 --rpc-bind-port=32348

Having done that you're ready to operate with the wallet through the following API URLs (e.g., your IP address is 95.46.98.64):

 http://95.46.98.64:32348/json_rpc
 http://localhost:32348/json_rpc

Available commands

  • getbalance
  • transfer
  • store
  • reset
  • get_payments
  • get_transfers
  • get_height
  • get_transaction
  • get_address
  • get_paymentid
  • get_tx_key
  • query_key
  • sign_message
  • verify_message
  • change_password

Store wallet data.

URL:

  /json_rpc

Input:

 {
 	"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
 	"title": "Karbowanec wallet api",
 	"description": "Schema for transfer method in Karbowanec wallet",

 	"properties" : {}
 }

reset

Erases simplewallet's internal state but keeps safe the wallet.bin. The method should be used to re-synchronize the wallet from scratch. The next refresh (which is automatically called each 20 seconds) will update the simplewallet state.

URL:

 /json_rpc

Input:

 {
 	"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
 	"title": "Karbowanec wallet api",
 	"description": "Schema for transfer method in Karbowanec wallet",

 	"type": "object",
 	
 	"properties" : {}
 }

get_payments

Receives all the payments with a corresponding payment_id that were sent to the wallet. This method is used to get the BCN payments for the 3rd party services. As Karbowanec uses only one address to receive BCN deposits, a unique payment_id should be assigned and shown to each user. The method will return all the payments for this user.
