Description

An interface to bitcoind's available network-related RPC calls. The implementation of these functions can be found at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/rpcnet.cpp.

If any APIs are missing, patches are always welcome. If you look at the source of this module, you'll see that the interface code is trivial.

Synopsis

Documentation

type Client = ByteString -> IO ByteString Source #

Client describes authentication credentials and host info for making API requests to the Bitcoin daemon.

getClient :: String -> ByteString -> ByteString -> IO Client Source #

getClient takes a url, rpc username, and rpc password and returns a Client that can be used to make API calls. Each Client encloses a Manager (from http-client) that re-uses connections for requests, so long as the same Client is is used for each call.

getConnectionCount :: Client -> IO Integer Source #

Returns the number of connections to other nodes.

data PeerInfo Source #

Information about a peer node of the Bitcoin network.

The documentation for this data structure is incomplete, as I honestly don't know what some of these fields are for. Patches are welcome!

Fields

getPeerInfo :: Client -> IO [PeerInfo] Source #

Returns data about all connected peer nodes.
