Communicate with clamd via JSON-RPC
npm install clamcoinnode-clamcoin is a simple wrapper for the CLAM client's JSON-RPC API.
The methods are exposed as lower camelcase methods on the clamcoin.Client
object, or you may call the API directly using the cmd method.
npm install clamcoin
js
// all config options are optional
var client = new clamcoin.Client({
host: 'localhost',
port: 8332,
user: 'username',
pass: 'password',
timeout: 30000
});
`$3
`js
client.getBalance('*', 6, function(err, balance, resHeaders) {
if (err) return console.log(err);
console.log('Balance:', balance);
});
`
$3
`js
client.cmd('getbalance', '*', 6, function(err, balance, resHeaders){
if (err) return console.log(err);
console.log('Balance:', balance);
});
`$3
`js
var batch = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
batch.push({
method: 'getnewaddress',
params: ['myaccount']
});
}
client.cmd(batch, function(err, address, resHeaders) {
if (err) return console.log(err);
console.log('Address:', address);
});
`SSL
If you're using this to connect to clamd across a network it is highly
recommended to enable
ssl, otherwise an attacker may intercept your RPC credentials
resulting in theft of your clamcoins.When enabling
ssl by setting the configuration option to true, the sslStrict
option (verifies the server certificate) will also be enabled by default. It is
highly recommended to specify the sslCa as well, even if your clamd has
a certificate signed by an actual CA, to ensure you are connecting
to your own clamd.`js
var client = new clamcoin.Client({
host: 'localhost',
port: 8332,
user: 'username',
pass: 'password',
ssl: true,
sslStrict: true,
sslCa: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/myca.cert')
});
