I know this has been asked before but I can't find the answer. How do I retrieve AMs?

I sent myself an AM that reads "this is a test". Here: http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getTransactionBytes&transaction=5483638297221124474

This returns:

{"bytes":"010090844f00a00565dc6bacf933e912af02076f1c84fff1549708aeeb979024bdc689ee6476295 f919b203dd7d5be7d00000000010000000000000000000000453405b0c89ab0a748d2c7cadabc07 23cffb311eea5bc17583b61d06864ef104b7dc4e58e38faa2b7c88a219baaa723d2a5ec34334c08 474aefd74a8de8220421400000048656c6c6f207468697320697320612074657374","confirmations":12}

However the "bytes" part has a bunch of stuff in the beginning that is not my message. How do I know where my message starts in "bytes"?

Use getTransaction.

I think the 'bytes' part is s.t. else - the message as you sent it is accessible with its tTxId

bug:cannnot locate the asset

step 1:
http://holms.cloudapp.net:6874/nxt?requestType=issueAsset&secretPhrase=myphrasez&amount=10&fee=1001&deadline=900&name=Dog&quantity=10
{"transaction":"14069547964793243165"}

so issue asset is ok

but
step2 :
getAssetIds don't contain 14069547964793243165
and getAsset
{"errorCode":5,"errorDescription":"Unknown asset"}

now i repeat step 1
{"errorCode":8,"errorDescription":"\"Dog\" is already used"}

yes, I keep getting things like that also. first guess would be that it is s-t- related to the testnet ...

[l8orre]

so ... what does the NRS do when the client is sending queries faster than it can answer? discard them, or put them into a queue?

Depends on Jetty settings. I think it has a backlog.

Posted this earlier in the main "messy" thread but will put it in here too:

______________________________________________________________
Issue:
I don't think the deadline in placing BID_ASK orders works.
I created some orders 2-3 days ago and they are still available. Then I created one today with deadline 5mins

Here is the API call
http://holms.cloudapp.net:6874/nxt?requestType=placeAskOrder&secretPhrase=PASSPHRASE&asset=2514416012262277241&quantity=888&price=88&fee=1&deadline=5

Result:
{"transaction":"15792899347256983572"}

here is the order
http://holms.cloudapp.net:6874/nxt?requestType=getAskOrder&order=15792899347256983572
Result:
{"price":88,"asset":"2514416012262277241","account":"4432258843260249105","quantity":888}

is it a bug? maybe deadline has another meaning if so can we have some sort of expiry of the Orders?

Also do you think we should be able to see the deadline (expiry time left) for the order when we do getAskOrder?

______________________________________________________________

Can we have an API that can return the asset qty owned by an account?
I am thinking in terms of our gateway. When we transfer asset to someone how can he then check he got the asset an API would be cool.

Orders don't expire. Deadline means deadline of a transaction.

I already implemented this API request. I'm waiting for other requests info to implement and release them. I don't have time to read all posts, could u guys cooperate and send me the "total" list?

[bootch]

Is there full documentation for API in one place?

too much blablabla and talking about the color of the coin,thats all

U should add that we talk about color of the coins for 3 months already.

hey CfB - sorry, this is going quite quickly.

Do you have 'getAccountAssets' call on your list? Sort of an inventory that lists which assets and how much of it an account has? Was mentioned before, just asking to make sure becasue it seems essential to me!

Aslo, there is the questions of conditional BUY/SELL offers: Can you make a BUY or SELL l
limit order, that has th efollowing properties:

1: the issuer can NOT revoke it
2: it expires at a certain point in time if it is not matched
3: it is coded to a SPECIFIC account OR to a SPECIFIC key, and only the owner of the account / holder of the key can execute it

I think it could be possible with the present NRS infrastructre, and this would provide an extremely powerful method to issue options on virtual assets.

ALSO: in certail combinations, this might allow schemes to implement SMART ESCROW - not sure yet, but there might be a way to do this.

Think of the utility value of these two things that can be done with options contracts!

I am just posing these here in case it goes too fast, but I'll also put it over to the API dev thread..

2: it expires at a certain point in time if it is not matched

I wish I had thought of this when I submitted my list to CfB on requested asset exchange APIs.  maybe it can make it in.

Current orders don't expire.

guess those go on the wishlist for API2 - hey kids, don't unwrap your presents all at once 

but really: consider the potential of this stuff

If u add "user" HTTP parameter then allowedUserHosts works.
