### RPC server implementation to easily connect to ARK blockchain
# Security Warning
All calls should be made from the server where RPC is running at ( i.e., `localhost` or `127.0.0.1` ). The RPC server should never be publicly accessible. If you wish to access ark-rpc from a remote address, you can whitelist the address with `--allow
`. Addresses allow you to use wildcards, eg. `192.168.1.*` or `10.0.*.*`.
If you do want to allow access from all remotes, start ark-rpc with the `--allow-remote` commandline switch. This can be dangerous.
# How To Use It
- install Node.JS ( https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/)
- install forever `npm install -g forever`
- install ark-rpc: `npm install arkecosystem/ark-rpc#master`
- start RPC server: `ark-rpc --port 8000` (default port is 8080)
## Docker ##
If you would like to run from a docker environment, you will first need to build the container by running:
```
docker build -t ark-rpc .
```
You will need to run the container with the `--allow-remote` option to allow the host machine to access the container.
```
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 ark-rpc --allow-remote
```
# API
Supported networks are `mainnet` and `devnet` all calls should start with the network you want to address, for instance, `/mainnet/account/AUDud8tvyVZa67p3QY7XPRUTjRGnWQQ9Xv` we call it `:network` in the API description.
## Accounts
- Get account balance from `address`: `GET /:network/account/:address`
- Create account from `passphrase`: `POST /:network/account` params: `passphrase`
- Create (or get if already existing) account and encrypt using bip38: `POST /:network/account/bip38` params: `bip38` (password for encrypted WIF), `userid` (to identify a user)
- Get backup from `userid`: `GET /:network/account/bip38/:userid`
If you want to create several accounts for one user, you need to use a different userid.
## Transactions
- Get last 50 transactions from `address`: `GET /:network/transactions/:address`
- Create a transaction: `POST /:network/transaction` params: `recipientId`, `amount` in satoshis, `passphrase`
- Create a transaction using `bip38` for `userid`: `POST /:network/transaction/bip38` params: `recipientId`, `amount` in satoshis, `bip38` (password to encode wif), `userid`
- Broadcast transaction: `POST /:network/broadcast` params: `id` of the transaction
Note that if the transaction has been created via the RPC it has been stored internally, as such only the transaction `id` is needed to broadcast/rebroadcast it. Otherwise if created outside of this RPC server, pass the whole transaction body as the POST payload.
