Print Page - Connecting to armoryd via JSON-RPC

I have an instance of armoryd fully indexed and running at the same time as bidcoind ( I am watching new blocks being added to the memory pool reported by the armoryd client )

Now I wanted to connect to it via JSON-RPC and being requesting new addresses, checking balances, creating unsigned transactions.

I see these methods in the armoryd.py code, but do I need to manually write my RPC interface to the client? Can I reuse one of the various bitcoind clients pointing toward armoryd? Are they similar enough?

Also..
When I check ~/.armory, I don't see any .conf files? Do I need to manually create one to set my armoryd password, etc. does it share the same structure as the bitcoind.conf?

found the configuration file reference in the armoryd.py code.

Also here is a related question on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21049108/connection-refused-with-bitcoin-armory-deamon

I made some successful calls!

Code:

import pyjsonrpc

http_client = pyjsonrpc.HttpClient(
   url = "http://localhost:8225",
   username= "username",
   password = "password"
)

print http_client.call("getwalletinfo")

Couple of things to note, obviously had to install pyjsonrpc via PIP, and also had to create an `armoryd.conf` file in my ~/.armory/ directory, with the username and password in the format: username:password

This isn't documented so far as I can see, but wanted to point that out

Thanks for the hint! I am currently struggling with armoryd's lack of documentation as well...
