An alternative friendbot implementation using the kin-sdk-node.
The service exposes 2 endpoints:
- Creating an account with a desired starting kin balance.
- Funding existing an account with a desired kin amount.
GET SERVICE_URL/fund?addr=<public adderss>&amount=<starting kin balance>
addr - required, the public address of the account to create.
amount - optional, the starting balance of the newly created account.
Result:
{
"hash":"b13c232bdc4f070061f6b1722a69ef13670c510fe51051b4d9db23ce3a9ee82f",
}The result response will include the hash of the transaction used to create the account.
GET SERVICE_URL?addr=<public adderss>&amount=<starting kin balance>

amount - required, the amount of kin to fund.
Result:
{
"hash":"b13c232bdc4f070061f6b1722a69ef13670c510fe51051b4d9db23ce3a9ee82f",

The most important of which are the:
base_seed: the root account seed, which is used to fund and create account. this account must be created and well funded beforehand.channels_salt: the salt that used for deterministically create friendbot channels, channels are required for handling multiple requests concurrently.channels_count: channels count, determines the service parallelism level.starting_balance: channels starting balance.
