Title: API Creation to interact with Bitcoin node Post by: Was on December 10, 2015, 10:42:19 AM Hello All,
I am interested in creating an API to interact with a bitcoin node to send and retrieve OP_RETURN transactions for the purpose of putting data into the blockchain as well as pulling the data from the blockchain The process I had in mind went something like this: Insert text string, make string into variable(n), convert variable to hex(x), make hex as a variable within API, push variable to Bitcoin within OP_RETURN script. and on the other end for interpretation: Pull txid from blockchain containing output script "OP_RETURN" with the data. convert (x) back to (n).. (HEX TO STRING) and display the original text string. I assume the calls would be data.push and data.pull respectively. If I want to interact with a Bitcoin node, would the most convenient(easy) language to program the API in be Node.js? also, How do I go about creating and issuing API Keys? I guess more questions to come, thanks for your help on this cool project Smiley Does anyone think this would be difficult? |
