data BitcoinException Source

A BitcoinException is thrown when 'callApi encounters an error. The API error code is represented as an Int, the message as a String.

It may also be thrown when the value returned by the bitcoin API wasn't what we expected.

WARNING: Any of the functions in this module's public API may throw this exception. You should plan on handling it.

Constructors

The raw JSON returned, if we can't figure out what actually went wrong.

A string returned by the bitcoind API, representing data as hex.

What that data represents depends on the API call, but should be dcumented accordingly.
