rpcclient

ISC License

rpcclient implements a Websocket-enabled Bitcoin JSON-RPC client package written in Go. It provides a robust and easy to use client for interfacing with a Bitcoin RPC server that uses a lbcd/bitcoin core compatible Bitcoin JSON-RPC API.

Status

This package is currently under active development. It is already stable and the infrastructure is complete. However, there are still several RPCs left to implement and the API is not stable yet.

Major Features

  • Supports Websockets (lbcd/lbcwallet) and HTTP POST mode (bitcoin core)
  • Provides callback and registration functions for lbcd/lbcwallet notifications
  • Supports lbcd extensions
  • Translates to and from higher-level and easier to use Go types
  • Offers a synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous API
  • When running in Websockets mode (the default):
    • Automatic reconnect handling (can be disabled)
    • Outstanding commands are automatically reissued
    • Registered notifications are automatically reregistered
    • Back-off support on reconnect attempts
