Chapter 12: Talking to Bitcoind

While working with Bitcoin Scripts, we hit the boundaries of what's possible with bitcoin-cli. Fortunately, there are other ways to work with the Bitcoin network. Though these APIs can ultimately allow you to access all of Bitcoin's functionality, we're going to start off with the simpler APIs that largely duplicate bitcoin-cli by accessing bitcoind. Consider it a new way to do what you already know that's a gateway to writing with APIs.
