Node API

The API is used to query a node about various information on the blockchain, networks and peers. By default, the API will listen on localhost:3413. The API is started at the same time as the grin node. This endpoint requires, by default, basic authentication. The username is grin.

Node API v2

This API version uses JSON-RPC for its requests. It is split up into a foreign API and an owner API. The documentation for these endpoints is automatically generated:

• Owner API
• Foreign API

Basic auth passwords can be found in .api_secret/.foreign_api_secret files respectively.

Postman

This API uses REST for its requests. To learn about what specific calls can be made read the node API v1 doc.
