A RPGcoin blockchain REST and web socket API service for RPGcore Node.

This is a backend-only service. If you're looking for the web frontend application, take a look at https://github.com/RPGCoin/insight-ui-rpg.

Getting Started

npm install -g rpgcore-node
rpgcore-node create mynode
cd mynode
rpgcore-node install insight-api-rpg
rpgcore-node start

The API endpoints will be available by default at: http://localhost:3001/insight-api-rpg/

Prerequisites

RPGcore Node

Note: You can use an existing RPGcoin data directory, however txindex, addressindex, timestampindex and spentindex needs to be set to true in rpg.conf, as well as a few other additional fields.

Query Rate Limit

To protect the server, insight-api-rpg has a built it query rate limiter. It can be configurable in rpgcore-node.json with:

  "servicesConfig": {
    "insight-api-rpg": {
      "rateLimiterOptions": {
        "whitelist": ["::ffff:127.0.0.1"]
      }
    }
  }

With all the configuration options available: https://github.com/RPGCoin/insight-api-rpg/blob/master/lib/ratelimiter.js#L10-17

Or disabled entirely with:

  "servicesConfig": {
    "insight-api-rpg": {
      "disableRateLimiter": true
    }
  }

Note: routePrefix can be configurable in rpgcore-node.json with:

  "servicesConfig": {
    "insight-api-rpg": {
      "routePrefix": "insight-api-rpg",
    }
  }

  <script src="http://<insight-server>:<port>/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
  <script>
    eventToListenTo = 'tx'
    room = 'inv'

    var socket = io("http://<insight-server>:<port>/");
    socket.on('connect', function() {
      // Join the room.
      socket.emit('subscribe', room);
    })
    socket.on(eventToListenTo, function(data) {
      console.log("New transaction received: " + data.txid)
    })
