A NewPowerCoin blockchain REST and web socket API service for Npwcore Node.
This is a backend-only service.
npm install -g npwcore@latest
npwcore create mynode
cd mynode
npwcore install insight-api
npwcore start
The API endpoints will be available by default at: http://localhost:3001/insight-api/
To protect the server, insight-api has a built it query rate limiter. It can be configurable in npwcore-node.json with:
"servicesConfig": {
"insight-api": {
"rateLimiterOptions": {
"whitelist": ["::ffff:127.0.0.1"]
}
}
}With all the configuration options available: https://github.com/npw-project/insight-api/blob/master/lib/ratelimiter.js#L10-17
Or disabled entirely with:
"servicesConfig": {
"insight-api": {
"disableRateLimiter": true
}

Get block hash by height
/insight-api/block-index/[:height]
/insight-api/block-index/0
This would return:
{
"blockHash":"000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f"
}
which is the hash of the Genesis block (0 height)
/insight-api/rawblock/[:blockHash]
This would return:
{
"rawblock":"blockhexstring..."
}
Get block summaries by date:
/insight-api/blocks?limit=3&blockDate=2016-04-22

The web socket API is served using socket.io.
The following are the events published by insight:
tx: new transaction received from network. This event is published in the 'inv' room. Data will be a app/models/Transaction object.
Sample output:
{
"txid":"00c1b1acb310b87085c7deaaeba478cef5dc9519fab87a4d943ecbb39bd5b053",
"processed":false
...
}
block: new block received from network. This event is published in the inv room. Data will be a app/models/Block object.
Sample output:
{
"hash":"000000004a3d187c430cd6a5e988aca3b19e1f1d1727a50dead6c8ac26899b96",
"time":1389789343,
...
}
<npwAddress>: new transaction concerning received from network. This event is published in the <npwAddress> room.
status: every 1% increment on the sync task, this event will be triggered. This event is published in the sync room.
Sample output:
{
blocksToSync: 164141,
syncedBlocks: 475,
upToExisting: true,
scanningBackward: true,
isEndGenesis: true,
end: "000000000933ea01ad0ee984209779baaec3ced90fa3f408719526f8d77f4943",

The following html page connects to the socket.io insight API and listens for new transactions.
