PoC 5 Public Go API

The Go implementation has, besides the regular API implementation, a public API. The public API gives you the ability to rapidly develop external, stand-alone applications. The following public objects and methods can be found:

Please note: Addresses and hashes are represented by a hex string. Arguments which take a address or a hash also take a hex string instead of raw bytes.

• GetBlock(hexHash) Returns the block, or nil if nothing was found.
• GetKey() Returns your current seckey.
• GetStateObject(hexAddress) Returns the state object, or nil if nothing found.
• GetStorage(hexAddress, hexStorageAddress) Returns the value of the storage found at the address.
• GetTxCount() Returns the balance of the current key.
• IsContract(hexAddress) Returns a boolean indicating whether this is a contract or not.
• Transact(seckey, to, value, gas, gasPrice, data) Creates a new transaction signed by the specified seckey. Arguments are all strings.
• Create(secKey, value, gas, gasPrice, init, body) Creates a new contract signed by the specified seckey. Argumens are all strings.

PBlock

• Number canonical number in the chain.
• Hash hash of the block represented by a hex string.

PTx

• Value value of the transaction.
• Hash hash of the transaction.
• Address address the transaction was send to.
• Contract indicates whether the transaction was a contract creation transaction.

PKey

• Address the address belonging to this private key.
• PublicKey
• PrivateKey

PReceipt

A receipt is being returned by Transact and Create.

• CreatedContract indicates whether the transaction created a contract or not.
• Address if the transaction created a contract, this is the address of the created contract.
• Hash hash of the transaction.
• Sender the sender of the transaction.

PStateObject

A PStateObject can either be a contract or a user's account.

• GetStorage(hexAddress) Get the value at the specified address. Return value defaults to "0".
• Value()
• Address() returns the address of the state object
• Nonce() the nonce (or tx count).
• IsContract()
