The default bcoin HTTP server listens on the standard RPC port (8332 for main). It exposes a REST json api, as well as a JSON-RPC api.
Auth
Auth is accomplished via HTTP Basic Auth, using your node's API key (passed via
--api-key).
Example:
$ curl http://x:[api-key]@127.0.0.1:8332/
Errors
Errors will be returned with an http status code other than 200, containing a JSON object in the form:
{"error": { message: "message" } }
Node API
POST /
Route for JSON-RPC requests, most of which mimic the bitcoind RPC calls completely.
Example:
- Request Body:
{"method":"getblockchaininfo","params":[]} - Response Body:
{"id":...,"result":...}
GET /
Get server info. No params.
Example:
- Response Body:

POST /coin/address
Get coins by addresses. Returns coins in bcoin coin json format.
Example:
- Request Body:

Wallet API
Wallet Auth
Individual wallets have their own api keys, referred to internally as "tokens"
(a 32 byte hash - calculated as HASH256(m/44'->ec-private-key|tokenDepth)).
A wallet is always created with a corresponding token. When using api endpoints for a specific wallet, the token must be sent back in the query string or json body.
Examples:
POST /wallet/:id/send
{
token: "64 character hex string",
...
}
GET /wallet/:id/tx/:hash?token=[64 character hex string]
POST /wallet/_admin/rescan
Initiates a blockchain rescan for the walletdb. Wallets will be rolled back to the specified height (transactions above this height will be unconfirmed).
Example:
- Request: POST /wallet/_admin/rescan?height=100000
- Response Body:
{"success":true}
POST /wallet/_admin/resend
Rebroadcast all pending transactions in all wallets.
POST /wallet/_admin/backup
Safely backup the wallet database to specified path (creates a clone of the database).
Example:
- Request: POST /wallet/_admin/backup?path=/home/user/walletdb-backup.ldb
- Response Body:
{"success":true}
GET /wallet/_admin/wallets
List all wallet IDs. Returns an array of strings.

Wallet Events
Wallet events use the socket.io protocol.
Socket IO implementations:
- JS: https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client
- Python: https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/python-socketio
- Go: https://github.com/googollee/go-socket.io
- C++: https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client-cpp
Wallet Socket Auth
Authentication with the API server must be completed before any other events will be accepted.
Note that even if the server API key is disabled on the test server, the
auth event must still be sent to complete the handshake.
emit('auth', 'server-api-key')
The server will respond with a socket.io ACK packet once auth is completed.
Listening on a wallet
After creating a websocket and authing with the server, you must send a wallet join event to listen for events on a wallet.
emit('wallet join', 'wallet-id', 'wallet-token')
Unlistening on a wallet
emit('wallet leave', 'wallet-id')
Wallet Events
version
Emitted on connection.
Returns version. Object in the form:
[{ version: 'v1.0.0-alpha', agent: '/bcoin:v1.0.0-alpha/', network: 'main' }].
wallet tx
Received on transaction.
