Here we will show you how to try out your StreamCardano.com access key!
Check that service is online #
I suggest that you start by testing our API is online.
First setup the environment variables:
STREAMCARDANO_HOST=beta.streamcardano.dev
STREAMCARDANO_KEY="...your API key here..."
To make sure your internet connection works:
curl https://${STREAMCARDANO_HOST}/api/v1/status
You should see something like this:
{"postgresWorking":true
,"triggers":..
,"pgbouncerWorking":true
,"appVersion":"0.1.0.0"
,"appCommit":"ad2f9544d23ca2d93e0923695c761f1aeaf4763a"}
You can also use this endpoint to check you work on the latest version of the application API library.
This is the only call that does not require autorization. You may also see the API status here
To pretty-print the query result you may use json_pp or aeson_pretty:
curl https://beta.streamcardano.dev/api/v1/status | json_pp
{
"appVersionInfo" : {
"appCommit" : "9e544eae29f6451af22224206eefc540b043d73d",
"appVersion" : "0.1.0.0",
"envName" : "ProductionEnv"
},
"pgbouncerWorking" : true,
"postgresWorking" : true,
"triggers" : [
{
"triggerEventManipulation" : "INSERT",
"triggerEventTable" : "block",
"triggerName" : "blocks_changed"
},
{
"triggerEventManipulation" : "DELETE",
"triggerEventTable" : "block",
"triggerName" : "blocks_changed"
},
{
"triggerEventManipulation" : "UPDATE",
"triggerEventTable" : "block",
"triggerName" : "blocks_changed"
}
]
}
Checking if StreamCardano is up-to-date with Cardano network? #
You need to set API key for anything else:
export STREAMCARDANO_KEY=${STREAMCARDANO_KEY}
You may now check what is the last block id recorded in the database:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${STREAMCARDANO_KEY}" \
https://${STREAMCARDANO_HOST}/api/v1/last/block
Authorization #
Note the -H "Authorization: Bearer $STREAMCARDANO_KEY" header that
authorizes use of the interface.
You have developer key with a unique id for your application. For now you may use all developer API at limited rate. To deploy in production, you will get a key with only limited functionality by much higher allowed query rate to permit thousands of users simultaneously.
Make a custom query #
You may learn more about the last Cardano block using custom query:
curl -q -X POST "https://${STREAMCARDANO_HOST}/api/v1/query" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-H 'Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8' \
--data 'SELECT block_no,hash,tx_count from block order by id desc LIMIT 1' -w "\n%{http_code}\n"
[
{
"block_no" : 3680594,
"hash" : "\\xd931221f9bc4cae34de422d9f4281a2b0344e86aac6b31eb54e2ee90f44a09b9",
"tx_count" : 10
}
]
Listing transactions of your smart contract #
Let’s search for recent transaction outputs from smart contracts on the Testnet:
curl -q -X POST "https://${STREAMCARDANO_HOST}/api/v1/query" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-H 'Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8' \
--data "SELECT tx_id, value \
FROM datum \

Please note that during beta version you may want to avoid SQL JOIN
syntax, instead of FROM datum JOIN tx_out by datum.tx_id=tx_out.tx_id
you may use FROM datum, tx_out WHERE datum.tx_id=tx_out.tx_id.
Coming soon… #
