### Make an RPC Call
To use `JavaBitcoindRpcClient`, you need to create a `BitcoindRpcClient` instance. The arguments in the URL are username, password, IP address and port. You should know this information from your work with `curl` . As you'll recall, the IP address 127.0.0.1 and port 18332 should be correct for the standard testnet setup described in this documents, while you can extract the user and password from `~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf`.

### Making your first RPC Call
### Making an RPC Call
In order to use an RPC method using `JavaBitcoindRpcClient`, you'll find that the `BitcoindRpcClient` provides most of the functionality that can be accessed through `bitcoin-cli` or `curl`, using the same method names. For more details about the commands that you are able to execute and what to expect back, you should refer to [3.2: Knowing Your Bitcoin Setup](03_2_Knowing_Your_Bitcoin_Setup.md).
You'll find that the `BitcoindRpcClient` provides most of the functionality that can be accessed through `bitcoin-cli` or other RPC methods, using the same method names.

### Making an RPC Call with Arguments
When you make a RPC call with arguments you need to setup parameters depending method or type of object you use.
### Look up Address
You can look up addresses on your wallet passing it as an argument. In this case we use getAddressInfo method to obtain some information about an address.
You can look up addresses on your wallet by passing the address as an argument to `getAddressInfo`:
```java
public AddressInfo getAddressInfo(String address) throws GenericRpcException {
