Ethereum: JSON-RPC node publicly available for Bitcoin CLI connection
As part of our ongoing effort to provide a comprehensive and easy-to-use interface for interacting with different blockchain platforms, we are pleased to announce that a JSON-RPC node is now available for Ethereum.
Developers typically use the JSON-RPC API to access data from blockchains like Bitcoin. With this new service, users can now use their existing Bitcoin CLI connections to access the data they need on the Ethereum network.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Establish a connection
First, make sure you have a Bitcoin CLI connection with us. This is how you can use our JSON-RPC node to retrieve and send data.
{
"method": "getbalance",
"parameters": [
["0x1234567890abcdef", "100"]
],
"ID": 1
}
Step 2: Using an Ethereum Node
Once you have established a Bitcoin CLI connection, you can use our JSON-RPC node for data. The getbalance method returns the current balance.
{
"result": {
"balance": 100
},
"ID": 1
}
Usage Example
Here is an example of using the service:
const bitcoin = require('bitcoin-cli');
// Create a new Bitcoin CLI connection
const bitcoinCli = newbitcoin.Bitcoin();
// Set the API endpoint and password for security
const apiKey = 'own_api_key';
const apiSecret = 'secret_password';
// Log in to your account
bitcoinCli.login(apiKey, apiSecret);
// Get your balance using our JSON-RPC node
bitcoinCli.getbalance().then((result) => {
console.log(result);
});
Security Guidelines
Please note that we recommend using a secure password when logging in to the Bitcoin CLI. All information provided for security reasons must be kept confidential.
Getting Started with Node
To get started using our Ethereum JSON-RPC node, follow these steps:
- Go to [ and create an account or log in if you already have one.
- Click “Get Started” to access the API endpoint on the Ethereum network.
FAQ
Q: What is JSON-RPC?
A: JSON-RPC (JavaScript Object Notation-based Remote Procedure Call) is a protocol used by developers to interact with blockchains like Bitcoin.
Q: How does this service work?
A: This service allows users to use their existing Bitcoin CLI connections to access Ethereum network data using our JSON-RPC API endpoint.
Conclusion
We hope this helps you get started using our Ethereum JSON-RPC node. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
