[Nxt] API of Nxt

[newcn]

about the sendMoney API, there's a parameter "referencedTransaction",
the explanation in wiki is"REFTRANSACTION is an option reference to a previous Nxt transaction ID"
can I set it to the previous transaction-ID of the sender account?
Is it ok to left the parameter empty(since it is an option)?

U can leave it empty or set to any transaction id. Ur transaction won't be confirmed until the referenced transaction is.

I see, so the referencedTransaction  makes some dependence for the transaction,
if the  referencedTransaction failed, the sendMoney transaction will be canceled, right?
it's a good feature!

Are unconfirmed transactions as returned by getUnconfirmedTransactionIds also returned in getAccountTransactionIds (before they have confirmations)?

No.

No.

Then this is a request... :-)

Right now, to also show unconfirmed transactions for an account in my client, I would need to constantly call getUnconfirmedTransactionIds, retrieve the transactions returned and check if the clients account number is in these transactions.

Is the list of nodes returned by getPeers the complete lists of nodes in the network or are these just the nodes that my node knows about?

The latter.

-Can multiple accounts be unlocked against the same NXT server at the same time?

Yes.

-Further, can I distribute the nxt software with my client to achieve a hassle-free end user experience?

Yes.

If multiple accounts are unlocked in the same server, will they all be forging?

Another question: is there a way to make a secure API send from a VPS?

If the API is being called from another VPS, I would need to send the secret in plan text between the 2 VPSs.

Use HTTPS

It would be more easier if the "getBalance" responses with the balance which atleast got 10 confirmations. Mind implementing this asap ?

+ If theres a command to move nxt instantly btw two accounts within a client like the bitcoins "move" rpc command. It would be very good.

The above two commands help very much to develop online marketplaces and wallets for nxt.

-Thanks-

I've noticed I am not sure about some terms:

What does NRS actually stand for?
Is NRS only the bundled web client or the complete nxt software?
What is the server part called?
Does the bundled web client have a name?

NRS = Nxt Reference Software, it's the whitepaper written in Java.
It has 2 parts - server (as a Java servlet) and client (as HTML-files).

What do you call the parts of the Servlet that support the HTML like getInitialData, unLockAccount, etc?

I see 3 parts really: NRS, Client Servlet, and Client HTML.

Client HTTP requests.

Is there a plan for NRS APIs that handle these things?

-remove a peer
-handle block generation
-generate tokens

We r planning to create other API. Old API will be called Legacy API and become obsolete. New API will be split to 2 parts - Low-level API and High-level API. If u r planning to write a client software u could start a thread to discuss what LL and HL API calls u need.

What's the ETA for these new APIs?
