The solution was to insert "rest=1" in bitcoin.conf.

Hi.

If you take a look at the library "doc" https://github.com/ruimarinho/bitcoin-core#getblockchaininformationcallback the function is
getBlockchainInformation
If I use getBlockchainInfo I get "TypeError: client.getblockchaininfo is not a function"
Using "bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo" external command, works perfectly.

I am surprised not to find a single complete example using the client.

Using postman with url localhost:8332/rest/tx/b4dd08f32be15d96b7166fd77afd18aece7480f72af6c9c7f9c5cbeb01e686fe.json and body parameters: username=xxx & password=yyy I get the same: "404 Not Found"

Just writing some code
getblockchaininformation is not a RPC command. You are probably looking for getblockchaininfo.

Please help me. I have lost a lot of time with this.

I am running a fully synchronized bitcoin-core mainnet node. I run this code to access the node:

Code:
import Client from 'bitcoin-core'
let client = new Client( { username: 'xxx', password: 'yyy', port: 8332})
client.getBlockchainInformation().then( res => console.log("res: ", res))

I have also tried without the port attribute and with port:8444. I get these errors:

Code:

Receiving rawTx and rawBlock notifications via zmq works ok cause, for a change, I found proper doc: Streaming transactions from bitcoind via ZeroMQ.

My bitcoin.conf file is:

#
# If not, you must set rpcuser and rpcpassword to secure the JSON-RPC api. The first
# method(DEPRECATED) is to set this pair for the server and client:
rpcuser=xxx
rpcpassword=yyy
#
# The second method `rpcauth` can be added to server startup argument. It is set at intialization time

# Your password:

# On client-side, you add the normal user/password pair to send commands:
#rpcuser=alice
#rpcpassword=DONT_USE_THIS_YOU_WILL_GET_ROBBED_8ak1gI25KFTvjovL3gAM967mies3E=
#
# You can even add multiple entries of these to the server conf file, and client can use any of them:
