LBRY LBRY Build Status Test Coverage

LBRY is an open-source protocol providing distribution, discovery, and purchase of digital content (data) via a decentralized network. It utilizes the LBRY blockchain as a global namespace and database of digital content. Blockchain entries contain searchable content metadata, identities, and rights and access rules. LBRY also provides a data network that consists of peers uploading and downloading data from other peers, possibly in exchange for payments, and a distributed hash table, used by peers to discover other peers.

This project aims to provide a daemon that can interact with the network via a json-rpc interface over HTTP.

The project is written in Python 3.7+ and extensively uses Twisted framework.

Installation

Our releases page contains pre-built binaries of the latest release, pre-releases, and past releases, for macOS, Debian-based Linux, and Windows.

Usage

Run lbrynet start to launch the daemon.

By default, lbrynet will provide a JSON-RPC server at http://localhost:5279. It is easy to interact with via cURL or sane programming languages.

Our quickstart guide provides a simple walkthrough and examples for learning.

The full API is documented here.

Running from source

Installing from source is also relatively painless, full instructions are in INSTALL.md
