NAME

Zcash::RPC::Client - Zcash Payment API Client

SYNOPSIS

use Zcash::RPC::Client;

# Create Zcash::RPC::Client object
$zec = Zcash::RPC::Client->new(
   user     => "username",
   password => "p4ssword",
);

# Zcash supports all commands in the Bitcoin Core API
# Check the block height of our Zcash node
#     https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-reference#getblockchaininfo
$getinfo = $zec->getinfo;
$blocks = $getinfo->{blocks};

# Return the total value of funds stored in the node's wallet
#     https://github.com/zcash/zcash/blob/master/doc/payment-api.md
$z_gettotalbalance = $zec->z_gettotalbalance;
# Output:
#{
#  "transparent" : 1.23,
#  "private" : 4.56,
#  "total" : 5.79
#}
print $z_gettotalbalance->{total};
# 5.79

DESCRIPTION

This module is a pure Perl implementation of the methods that are currently part of the Zcash Payment API client calls. The method names and parameters are identical between the Zcash Payment API reference and this module. This is done for consistency so that a developer only has to reference one manual: https://github.com/zcash/zcash/blob/master/doc/payment-api.md

CONSTRUCTOR

$zec = Zcash::RPC::Client->new( %options )

This method creates a new Zcash::RPC::Client and returns it.

Key                 Default
-----------         -----------
host                127.0.0.1
user                undef (Required)
password            undef (Required)
cookie              undef
port                8232
wallet              undef
timeout             20
ssl                 0
verify_hostname     1
debug               0

host - Address listens for JSON-RPC connections

user and password - User and Password for JSON-RPC api commands

cookie - Absolute path to your RPC cookie file (.cookie). When cookie is defined user and password will be ignored and the contents of cookie will be used instead.

port - TCP port for JSON-RPC connections

wallet - Work against specific wallet.dat file when Multi-wallet support is enabled

timeout - Set the timeout in seconds for individual RPC requests. Increase this for slow zcashd instances.

ssl - OpenSSL support has been removed from the Bitcoin Core and Zcash project. However Zcash::RPC::Client will work over SSL with earlier versions or with a reverse web proxy such as nginx.

verify_hostname - Disable SSL certificate verification. Needed when bitcoind is fronted by a proxy or when using a self-signed certificate.

debug - Turns on raw HTTP request/response output from LWP::UserAgent.

AVAILABILITY

The latest branch is avaiable from GitHub: https://github.com/Cyclenerd/Zcash-RPC-Client

CAVEATS

Boolean parameters must be passed as JSON::Boolean objects E.g. JSON::true

AUTHOR
