[Nxt] API of Nxt

[GCInc.]

Is there a request can get all the transactions relate to a specific account?

No. This should be done via blockchain scanning.

Why? It has been requested elsewhere (Android wallet coder) as well and would greatly simplify things.

Blockchain scanning consumes less resources on server side. Anyway, this API call will be added.

Can we be sure that if we only once issue sendMoney and then an arbitrarily high number of broadcastTransaction, the payment is sent just once. So boradcastTransaction does not resend the payment under any circumstances regarldess of blockchain / client status?

Yes, u can be sure. broadcastTransaction only broadcasts, it doesn't alter bytes in any way. Sequence of bytes determines transaction id. Every node rejects transactions with id that already exists in blockchain or unconfirmed transactions.

Are the APIs for the node in clearly separate classes from the web client?

For example, in addition to removing the HTML, could I also some class files?

[ferment]

Is this the current list of APIs?

sendMoney
transactionBytes
broadcastTransaction
getPeers
getPeer
getState
getBalance
getMyInfo
decodeHallmark
decodeToken
getBlock
getTime
getTransaction
getConstants
getUnconfirmedTransactionIds
markHost (why not encodeHallmark?)

Are lock/unlock official APIs? Are they on the client and not the server?

Are there APIs for these?
encoding a token
generating an account number from a passphrase

Current list:

assignAlias

cancelAskOrder
cancelBidOrder
getAccountId
getAccountTransactionIds
getAlias
getAliasIds
getAliasURI
getAskOrder
getAskOrderIds
getAsset

getPeers
getState

getTransaction
getTransactionBytes
getUnconfirmedTransactionIds
issueAsset
markHost
placeAskOrder
placeBidOrder
sendMoney
transferAsset

Lock/unlock is for client only, this is not API.

Encoding a token - no such API
Generating account id = getAccountId

PS: This is complete list, some calls r absent in 0.3.20 and will be included into 0.4.0 (related to alias system) or disabled for the time being (related to asset exchange)

Thanks for posting the list!

Encoding a token - no such API

Will this be added?

If not, can you describe how it's done?

Thanks!

I'll add it.

would you please add an entry of "numberOfPeers" to the output of getState request?

@CfB, could you please tell me which api should I call to list all my alias names? I know the account. Thanks.

How do I get a list of transactions associated with a specific account? (specifically incoming money transactions)

Sorry for the newbie question, how do i associate a secret with an account?

Is the account a SHA 256 of a SHA 256 of a secret?

[jl777]

Also, how do you create an account via API?

James

Secret is mapped to account id via Curve25519(SHA256(secret))

Also, how do you create an account via API?

James

Account is created by the very 1st transaction.

I have a NXT exchange built for you guys.

I have one missing link: generating NXT accounts from secrets.

I do curve25519hex(shaValue256(secretKey)) but this generates an alphanumerical hex, not a pure numerical account prevalent in NXT.

How do I generate accounts?
