npm install -g pioncore-node@latest
pioncore-node create mynode
cd mynode
pioncore-node install insight-api-pion
pioncore-node start
The API endpoints will be available by default at: http://localhost:3001/insight-api/
Note: You can use an existing Pion data directory, however txindex
, addressindex
, timestampindex
and spentindex
needs to be set to true in pion.conf
, as well as a few other additional fields.
To protect the server, insight-api has a built it query rate limiter. It can be configurable in pioncore-node.json
with:
"servicesConfig": {
"insight-api": {
"rateLimiterOptions": {
"whitelist": ["::ffff:127.0.0.1"]
}
}
}
With all the configuration options available: https://github.com/pioncoin/insight-api-pion/blob/master/lib/ratelimiter.js#L10-17
Or disabled entirely with:
"servicesConfig": {
"insight-api": {
"disableRateLimiter": true
}
}

Get block hash by height
/insight-api-pion/block-index/[:height]
/insight-api-pion/block-index/0
This would return:
{
"blockHash":"00000bafbc94add76cb75e2ec92894837288a481e5c005f6563d91623bf8bc2c"
}
which is the hash of the TestNet Genesis block (0 height)
/insight-api-pion/rawblock/[:blockHash]
This would return:
{
"rawblock":"blockhexstring..."
}
Get block summaries by date:

The web socket API is served using socket.io.
The following are the events published by insight:
tx
: new transaction received from network, txlock boolean is set true if a matching txlock event has been observed. This event is published in the 'inv' room. Data will be a app/models/Transaction object.
Sample output:
{
"txid":"00c1b1acb310b87085c7deaaeba478cef5dc9519fab87a4d943ecbb39bd5b053",
"txlock": false,
"processed":false
...
}
txlock
: InstantSend transaction received from network, this event is published alongside the 'tx' event when a transaction lock event occurs. 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,
...
}
<bitcoinAddress>
: new transaction concerning received from network. This event is published in the <bitcoinAddress>
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,

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

<script src="http://<insight-server>:<port>/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>

The unspent outputs format now has satoshis
and height
:

"amount": 0.12345678,
"satoshis: 12345678,
"confirmations": 1,
"height": 300001
}
]
The timestamp
property will only be set for unconfirmed transactions and height
can be used for determining block order. The confirmationsFromCache
is nolonger set or necessary, confirmation count is only cached for the time between blocks.
There is a new GET
endpoint or raw blocks at /rawblock/<blockHash>
:
Response format:
{
"rawblock": "blockhexstring..."
}
There are a few changes to the GET
endpoint for /addr/[:address]
:
- The list of txids in an address summary does not include orphaned transactions
- The txids will be sorted in block order
- The list of txids will be limited at 1000 txids
- There are two new query options "from" and "to" for pagination of the txids (e.g.
/addr/[:address]?from=1000&to=2000
)
Some additional general notes:
- The transaction history for an address will be sorted in block order
- The response for the
/sync
endpoint does not includestartTs
andendTs
as the sync is no longer relevant as indexes are built in piond. - The endpoint for
/peer
is no longer relevant connection to piond is via ZMQ. /tx
endpoint results will now include block height, and spentTx related fields will be set tonull
if unspent./block
endpoint results does not includeconfirmations
and will includepoolInfo
.
Some of the fields and methods are not supported:
The /tx/<txid>
endpoint JSON response will not include the following fields on the "vin"
object:
doubleSpentTxId
// double spends are not currently trackedisConfirmed
// confirmation of the previous outputconfirmations
// confirmations of the previous outputunconfirmedInput
The /tx/<txid>
endpoint JSON response will not include the following fields on the "vout"
object.
spentTs
The /status?q=getTxOutSetInfo
method has also been removed due to the query being very slow and locking piond.
Plug-in support for Insight API is also no longer available, as well as the endpoints:
/email/retrieve
/rates/:code
