General Usage
If you want, you can create custom classes
class BitcoinRPC < BitcoreRPC; end
class BitcoinCashRPC < BitcoreRPC; end
class DashRPC < BitcoreRPC; end
class LitecoinRPC < BitcoreRPC; end
Usage is super easy!
$bitcoin_rpc = BitcoireRPC.new(user: "test", password: "myPazzwortz")
$litecoin_rpc = LitecoinRPC.new(user: "test", password: "swag", host: "myhost", debug: true)
call any method you want
$bitcoin_rpc.getnewaddress "myaddress", "bech32"
Error handling
if a method isn't know it throws an error
BitcoreRPC::ResponseError: Method not found (-32601)
# if RPC throws error, error will be printed with error code
# if RPC can't be reached, it throws ConnectionError, if wrong auth it gets Unauthenticated
useful stuff
# get_transactions ist alias method for listtransactions and accepts regular parameters
$bitcoin_rpc.get_transactions.each do |tx|
tx_id = tx["txid"]
address = tx["address"]
amount = tx["amount"]
confirmations = tx["confirmations"]
# do something
end
