How to call API

Making API calls to the Infinium Daemon and Wallet is easy, below we'll give you an example to help you get started building on Infinium.

Using Insomnia​

Insomnia is a program (similar to postman) that helps you design, debug, and test APIs, heres an example API call to the Infinium Daemon using Insomnia.

Using NodeJS​

Below is an example of the same API call using NodeJS:

const axios = require("axios");

async function callAPI() {
  try {
    const url = "http://127.0.0.1:31112/json_rpc";
    const requestData = {
      jsonrpc: "2.0",
      id: 0,
      method: "getbalance",
    };

    const response = await axios.post(url, requestData);
    console.log(response.data);

  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error:", error.message);
  }
}

callAPI();

Summary​

When running the Daemon and Wallet in RPC mode locally, the following URL, whether using something like Insomnia or NodeJS or some other language, you access the daemon with the following URL:

http://127.0.0.1:31112/json_rpc

Have fun building on Infinium!
