PeppermintEry

A webservice interface and token crafter companion to Peppermint

Configuration

Configuration happens via a single JSON file, for both the service endpoint and the worker process(es). For the possible settings, refer to config.example.json.

When loading the configuration, the process looks at the environment variable PEPPERMINT_PROFILE. If this variable is not set, the file config.json is loaded. If profile is set, the process looks for the file config_{profile}.json. This variable is intended to be shared with Peppermint.

Service endpoints

Insert new create request

PUT {root}/tokens/{token id}

Insert a new token creation request, PUTting the following payload format:

{
	"token_details": {
                "name": "Hello World",
                "description": "the Hello World nft",
                "tags": [ "<tag>", "<tag>", ... ]
                "attributes": [
                        {
                                "name": "<stringKey>"
                                "value": "<value>"
                        },
                        ...
                ],
                ...
        },
        "image_asset": {
                "mime_type": "image/png",
                "filename": "hello.png",
                "b64_data": <Base64 image>
        },
        "recipients": <Optional mint recipients record, see mint endpoint description>
}

The token_details field is partial token metadata, subject to the TZIP-21 standard: https://tzip.tezosagora.org/proposal/tzip-21/

Note: minting multiple unique tokens with the same asset (eg. numbered editions) is not handled adequately by the current version of this tool. It is on the roadmap for the future, though, and will require a different workflow.

Get status for create token requests

GET {root}/tokens[?[limit={limit}]&[before={timestamp}]]

Get a list of recent create requests with all details and status. Limit defaults to 100.

Get status for individual create token request

GET {root}/tokens/{token id}

Get the detailed status of the request, including on-chain token status, if minted.

Insert new mint request

POST {root}/tokens/{token id}/recipients

Insert new mint requests for a token. The request body has to be one of the following:

• JSON string of a valid tezos address; in this case, an amount of 1 token will be minted
• A JSON object of the format { address, amount }
• A JSON array containing entries of the former two variants

Get status for token mint recipients

GET {root}/tokens/{token id}/recipients[?[limit={limit}]&[before={timestamp}]]

Get a list of recent mint requests with all details and status. Limit defaults to 100.

Get status for individual token mint recipient

GET {root}/tokens/{token id}/recipients/{address}

Get detailed status of the mint operation(s) for the specified recipient.

Monitoring

Peppermintery also offers a service endpoint for monitoring the health of the minting setup:

GET {root}/health

This returns HTTP 200 if everything is found in order, and HTTP 503 Service Unavailable if issues have been found. The following checks are executed:

• A last pull timeout logic that checks if the Peppermintery or the Peppermint worker hadn't tried to pull a new task in a specific timeframe
• A canary / watchdog logic checks for the last time the Peppermintery worker process attempted to pull a job, and the check fails if this returns a timeout.
• A canary / watchdog logic checks for the last time Peppermint attempted to pull a job, and the check fails if this returns a timeout.
• The count of different Peppermint operation states is queried from a 'floor' id up, and the check fails if any error states (unknown, failed, rejected) are found.

The health monitoring system can be adjusted by the monitoring section in the config. The meaning of the settings here:

• canary_cycle: milliseconds between inserting a new canary record into both the Peppermint and Peppermintery job queues; these are rows which the Peppermint and Peppermintery worker processes respectively delete every time they pull a new job
• peppermint_canary_timeout: timeout in milliseconds for the Peppermint canary
• mintery_canary_timeout: timeout in milliseconds for the Peppermintery canary
• last_pull_timeout: timeout in milliseconds for the Peppermint and Peppermintery last pull timeout check
• floor_peppermint_id: operation stats are checked from this Peppermint id up; this can be set to the current id to 'zero out' the health check after past errors had been investigated
