Hello everyone.

Is there any step-by-step for JSON-RPC?

I have set up the .conf file:
server=1
rpcuser=bitcoin
rpcpassword=bitcoin

but I am completly lost what to do next, how to connect to it etc. Anyone?

If you are using PHP, then make a JSON-RPC call to your node through cURL.

I wrote a script in python to help you get started. You should be able to extrapolate the below into whatever you are trying to do

Code:

#warning: use at your own risk

#dependencies
import requests
import json
import pandas as pd #this is technically not needed, but will probably be if you are to do any kind of analysis

#copy your rpcusername and rpcpassword from your bitcoin.conf file, and keep them inside the 'quotes'
rpcusername = ''
rpcpassword = ''
url = ('http://{0}:{1}@127.0.0.1:8332').format(rpcusername, rpcpassword)

#put the command you want to run here inside 'quotes'
command =

#put any parameters here, if you have none, put 'quotes' with no text ''
#if the parameter is an integer, do not use quotes, otherwise the parameters need to be in 'quotes'
params = ''

data = {'method':command, 'params':[params]}
result = requests.post(url, json=data).json()['result']
print(result)

There is a step by step tutorial on youtube that I think you can follow but it is Linux Based OS but you can follow the steps on how to do it.

Here's the videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMM-t7azzJE&list=PLhWIQKZKupCawKJQBAEJc-Y4I30HQ6KBH

You need to change your rpcpassword to something random, and you should do the same for your rpcuser as well. If you don't, you will get robbed if you have any coin in your wallet used by bitcoin core.

How are you trying to connect to it? Most programming language have a easy to use jsonrpc library, or even wrapper for bitcoin core api calls.
