RPC

What

  • Structs used by JSON-RPC server and for interacting with a JSON-RPC endpoint.
  • Server for running the JSON-RPC protocol based on port in configuration.

This package is currently in alpha and is subject to change.

Reference

Client

You can create a new client and start interacting with any NEO node that exposes their JSON-RPC endpoint. See godocs for example.

Not all methods are currently supported in the client, please see table below for supported methods.

TODO

  • Merge structs so can be used by both server and client.
  • Add missing methods to client.
  • Allow client to connect using client cert.

Supported methods

Method Implemented Required to implement
getblock Yes -

getblockhash No Handler and result struct
getblockcount No Handler and result struct
getbestblockhash No Handler and result struct

Server

The server is written to support as much of the JSON-RPC 2.0 Spec as possible. The server is run as part of the node currently.

TODO

  • Implement HTTPS server.
  • Add remaining methods (Documented below).
  • Add Swagger spec and test using dredd in circleCI.

Example call

An example would be viewing the version of the node:

curl -X POST -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "getversion", "params": [], "id": 1}" http://localhost:20332

which would yield the response:

{
  "jsonrpc" : "2.0",
    "id" : 1,
    "result" : {
      "port" : 20333,
      "useragent" : "/NEO-GO:0.36.0-dev/",
      "nonce" : 9318417
    }
}
