Topic: [Nxt] API of Nxt - page 8. (Read 37374 times)

When Nxt price will skyrocket we'll have to change the APIs to allow fee expressed in Nxt-cents or transactions will cost too much.

I think it's easier make now such an incompatible change than later when there will be a larger userbase...

It might be useful add more decimals than just 2.

It would be cool if getBalance would accept a timestamp parameter so that you could get an account balance at a certain point in time.

It's ok.

There is nothing in the core that prevents me sending NXT or messages from one sender address to the same recipient address.

Is it ok, if I make use of this? Or will this be forbidden in the future?

Good idea. We can't change existing API calls, but next API will follow ur proposal.

I think it is necessary to use the same mode of representing the amounts in API's.

I personally think the right should be getBalance():

URL: http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getBalance&account=9415965710853847055
RETURN: {"balance":217500,"effectiveBalance":217500,"unconfirmedBalance":217500}

217500 / 100 = 2175.00 NXT   All right!

However when we see a transaction with GetTransaction().

URL: http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getTransaction&transaction=7613663286249813916
RETURN: {"sender":"16999902190493953875","fee":1,"amount":1,"timestamp":3150358,"referencedTransaction":"0","confirmations":12580,"subtype":0,
"block":"2365176096112318374", "senderPublicKey":"66538....77a579","type":0,"deadline":1000,
"signature":"e9619.....937639","recipient":"9415965710853847055"}

It this is wrong! should return:

RETURN: {"sender":"16999902190493953875","fee":100,"amount":100,"timestamp":3150358,"referencedTransaction":"0","confirmations":12580,"subtype":0,
"block":"2365176096112318374", "senderPublicKey":"66538....77a579","type":0,"deadline":1000,
"signature":"e9619.....937639","recipient":"9415965710853847055"}

I hope they correct, and then we could soon be able to use decimals!

This problem occurs also in...

* sendMoney() = URL http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=sendMoney&secretPhrase=IWontTellYou&recipient=398532577100249608&amount=1500&fee=1&deadline=900&referencedTransaction=...

* getBlock() = RETURN {"transactions":["14664591317056179258"],"blockSignature":"8e679e....5b5333","payloadLength":189,"numberOfTransactions":1,"version":1,

No idea, looks like it doesn't count recipients with "-" sign.

Yes, "recipient: [0-9-]+" matches all lines containing "recipient" except for the first one (structure definition).

R recipients with negative value included?

That's what I figured, but a quick check shows only ~7000 unique recipients in transactions.nxt vs. 14,000 accounts in the blockchain explorer:

http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=getTransactionBytes&transaction=17352005608016332505

Yes. ;-)

Sending you one through PM for txid: 17352005608016332505

Is it safe to use transactionbytes publicly?

Put * into allowedBotHosts.

{"errorCode":7,"errorDescription":"Not allowed"}

But i can access the local client from browser

Send me one of these transaction bytes, I'll check what is wrong.

http://localhost:7874/nxt?requestType=sendMessage&secretPhrase=123&recipient=0&fee=1&deadline=1440&message=HEX_STRING

what are the Arbitrary Message API?

We have made a bunch of transactions that have received the transactionbytes. Deadline 7200 minutes, not even near of expiring, yet somehow these transactions are not pushed through even when others are. They receive the same transaction id and transactionbytes every time for days but do not go through. We are wary of resending them before deadline instead of rebroadcasting for the fear of double spending. Any ideas?

- as you mention urlencoder - I am using python 'requests' - works nice. What are you using?

Cheers

Got it to work. Had a problem with in my URL encoder.
