Module to read the latest snapshot state from iri

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Snapshot

Copy or clone source code into your ixi directory such that it can be found as ixi/Snapshot/{index.js, package.json}. Your node may be running at this time, and it will hot-load the script. After you've cloned it, and with a running iri node, run the following command to get the latest snapshot:

curl http://localhost:14265 -X POST -H 'X-IOTA-API-Version: 1.4.1' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'   -d '{"command": "Snapshot.getState"}'

Troubleshooting:

  • Make sure the result index matches latestSolidSubtangleMilestoneIndex:
curl http://localhost:14265 -X POST -H 'X-IOTA-API-Version: 1.4.1' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'   -d '{"command": "getNodeInfo"}'

  • If not, re-run iri with --revalidate flag, this will re-validate all the milestones & build an up-to-date snapshot. after the latestSolidSubtangleMilestoneIndex is up-to-date, rerun Snapshot.getState API command.

  • it's always best to backup your DB.
