Client library used to access Dash DAPI endpoints
This library enables HTTP-based interaction with the Dash blockchain and Dash Platform via the decentralized API (DAPI) hosted on Dash masternodes.
DAPI-Clientprovides automatic server (masternode) discovery using either a default seed node or a user-supplied oneDAPI-Clientmaps to DAPI's RPC and gRPC endpoints
npm install @dashevo/dapi-clientconst DAPIClient = require('@dashevo/dapi-client');
const client = new DAPIClient();
client.core.getStatus().then((coreStatus) => {
console.dir(coreStatus);
});Custom seed nodes are necessary for connecting the client to devnets since the client library is unaware of them otherwise.
const DAPIClient = require('@dashevo/dapi-client');
var client = new DAPIClient({
seeds: [{
host: 'seed-1.evonet.networks.dash.org',
port: 443,
}],
});
client.core.getBestBlockHash().then((r) => {
console.log(r);
});Note: The seed node shown above (seed-1.evonet.networks.dash.org) is for the Dash Evonet testing network.
Custom addresses may be directly specified in cases where it is beneficial to know exactly what node(s) are being accessed (e.g. debugging, local development, etc.).
const DAPIClient = require('@dashevo/dapi-client');
var client = new DAPIClient({
dapiAddresses: [
'127.0.0.1:443',
'127.0.0.2:443',
],
});
client.core.getBestBlockHash().then((r) => {
console.log(r);
});DAPI Client options can be passed directly to any command to override any predefined client options and modify the client's behavior for that specific call.
const DAPIClient = require('@dashevo/dapi-client');
// Set options to direct the request to a specific address and disable retries
const options = {
dapiAddresses: ['127.0.0.1'],
retries: 0,
};
client.core.getBestBlockHash(options).then((r) => {
console.log(r);
});More extensive documentation available at https://dashpay.github.io/platform/DAPI-Client/.
