Bitcoin Core HTTP POST Example
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
|
||||
This example shows how to use the btcrpcclient package to connect to a Bitcoin
|
||||
Core RPC server using HTTP POST mode with TLS disabled and gets the current
|
||||
block count.
|
||||
|
||||
## Running the Example
|
||||
|
||||
The first step is to use `go get` to download and install the btcrpcclient
|
||||
package:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ go get github.com/conformal/btcrpcclient
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Next, modify the `main.go` source to specify the correct RPC username and
|
||||
password for the RPC server:
|
||||
|
||||
```Go
|
||||
User: "yourrpcuser",
|
||||
Pass: "yourrpcpass",
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, navigate to the example's directory and run it with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/conformal/btcrpcclient/examples/bitcoincorehttp
|
||||
$ go run *.go
|
||||
```
