foundation

txcomment-search-api requires [foundation][4], a simple interface that allows easy access to the RPC commands offered by flojson. It also abstracts the RPC username/password away from sourcecode/config files. The best way to pass those values into foundation is by exporting them into an environment variable. We will come back to this later.

To install foundation, simply use go get.

go get github.com/metacoin/foundation

dbr

To install dbr, simply use go get.

go get github.com/gocraft/dbr

txcomment-search-api

To install dbr, simply use go get.

go get github.com/dloa/txcomment-search-api

Building

Navigate to the directory containing dloa/txcomment-search-api. You'll build txcomment-search-api as you would any other go project:

go build -a main.go

This should create a binary txcomment-search-api in the Go bin directory.

requires floblockexplorer

setup

open port 5831 in ACL or iptables

$ iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5831 -j ACCEPT

set environment variables

$ export DB_USER='dbusername'
$ export DB_PASS='reallygoodpassword10020229294#33334$$'

run the program

$ go run main.go

on your web browser or whatever client:

send a POST to the endpoint /searchTxComment to get a response

{
	"search":"Alexandria",
	"page":0,
	"results-per-page":10
}

max results-per-page is 30
