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. There are APIs that will ultimately allow you to access all of Bitcoin's functionality, but we're going to start off with the simpler APIs that largely duplicate bitcoin-cli by accessing bitcoind through RPC. Consider it a new way to do what you already know and a gateway to the larger world of working with APIs.

Objectives for This Chapter

After working through this chapter, a developer will be able to:

  • Decide Between Different Methods of Talking to Bitcoind
  • Create Bitcoin Transactions by Talking Directly to Bitcoind

Supporting objectives include the ability to:

  • Understand How to Use APIs
  • Understand How RPC and Curl Interact
  • Create a Foundation for Accessing Bitcoind
