Armory API

[CashBitango]

Like a kid before xmas, I'm awaiting the Armory API. I have difficulty being patient for the release.


Are there any ETA for a build where I can do API calls?
Are we talking weeks, months or years for this to come online?
Does it exist an API spec, so that I can start programming against the API, even if it's not out yet?

Perhaps you are looking for armoryd?  Don't know anything useful about it, except that it exists.

Or maybe you mean this page about using Armory with Python?

I was hoping for something akin to the Bitcoin Core API, where I can just send calls to localhost at a given port and have the program execute a given procedure and give me back the answer.

With Bitcoin Core I don't have to install a lot of things, I just send some text to for example localhost:5555:
{ "method": "echo", "params": ["Hello JSON-RPC"], "id": 1}
and I can get back:
{ "result": "Hello JSON-RPC", "error": null, "id": 1}

While this is working fine with Bitcoin Core, I have not yet been able to do this with Armory.
