Title: RPC Api with client? Post by: martin on July 14, 2010, 10:57:00 PM A simple question which I can't find the answer to, and I'm not at a computer with a bitcoin client at the moment so I can't test - does the windows bitcoin client (with GUI) run the Json Rpc Api, or is that only run from the headless client?

I'm back at my development machine now, and I've successfully got a java applet communicating with the client via the Json Rpc. I wonder if you could help me with some specifics of the API? Sending a string like this to the server: {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id":"json test", "method": "getinfo", "params": [] } Returns a response like this: {"result":{"balance": 0.00000000000000,"blocks":67486,"connections":8,"proxy":"","generate":true,"genproclimit":4,"difficulty":45.38582234101263},"error":null,"id":"json test"} All well and good. However, sending a string like this: {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id":"send money to testaddress from web ui", "method": "sendtoaddress", "params": [1DoMXge6kToHZN8m4B2my43anCPbD4rJgE, 0.25] } Gets me a http 500 error, which isn't great. Is my string malformed in some way? EDIT:: Fixed, of course the bitcoin address is a string, and I wasn't enclosing it in quotes, silly me. |
