Node API

The API is used to query a node about various information on the blockchain, networks and peers. By default, the API will listen on localhost:3413. The API is started at the same time as the mwc node. This endpoint requires, by default, basic authentication. The username is mwcmain.

Node API v2

This API version uses JSON-RPC for its requests. It is split up into a foreign API and an owner API. The documentation for these endpoints is automatically generated:

• Owner API
• URL: localhost:3413/v2/owner
• Basic Authentification:
  • Username: mwcmain
  • Password: ~/.mwc/main/.api_secret

• Foreign API
  • URL: localhost:3413/v2/foreign
  • Basic Authentification:
    • Username: mwcmain
    • Password: ~/.mwc/main/.foreign_api_secret

Basic auth passwords can be found in .api_secret/.foreign_api_secret files respectively.
