Readme
node-bitcoin is a simple wrapper for the Bitcoin client's JSON-RPC API.
The API is equivalent to the API document here.
The methods are exposed as lower camelcase methods on the bitcoin.Client
object, or you may call the API directly using the cmd
method.
npm install bitcoin
// all config options are optional
var client = new bitcoin.Client({
host: 'localhost',
port: 8332,
user: 'username',
pass: 'password',
timeout: 30000
});
client.getBalance('*', 6, function(err, balance, resHeaders) {
if (err) return console.log(err);
console.log('Balance:', balance);
});
cmd
client.cmd('getbalance', '*', 6, function(err, balance, resHeaders){
if (err) return console.log(err);
console.log('Balance:', balance);
});
var batch = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
batch.push({
method: 'getnewaddress',
params: ['myaccount']
});
}
client.cmd(batch, function(err, address, resHeaders) {
if (err) return console.log(err);
console.log('Address:', address);
});
See Enabling SSL on original client.
If you're using this to connect to bitcoind across a network it is highly
recommended to enable ssl
, otherwise an attacker may intercept your RPC credentials
resulting in theft of your bitcoins.
When enabling ssl
by setting the configuration option to true
, the sslStrict
option (verifies the server certificate) will also be enabled by default. It is
highly recommended to specify the sslCa
as well, even if your bitcoind has
a certificate signed by an actual CA, to ensure you are connecting
to your own bitcoind.
var client = new bitcoin.Client({
host: 'localhost',
port: 8332,
user: 'username',
pass: 'password',
ssl: true,
sslStrict: true,
sslCa: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/myca.cert')
});
