What is this?

Federated server for getting, pushing, and auditing data on untrusted nodes. Primarily used for capacity tests for Test Group B , as well as federated server based file transfer.

API

Registration

Registration of farmers into the database. All farmers must register with the node before they can perform any other actions.

GET /api/register/<bitcoin address>

Success Example:

GET /api/register/191GVvAaTRxLmz3rW3nU5jAV1rF186VxQc
RESPONSE:
    Status Code: 200
    Text: User registered.

Fail Examples:

GET /api/register/notvalidaddress
RESPONSE:
    Status Code: 400
    Text: Registration Failed: Invalid BTC Address.

GET /api/register/191GVvAaTRxLmz3rW3nU5jAV1rF186VxQc
RESPONSE:
    Status Code: 409
    Text: Registration failed: Address already is registered.

Ping-Pong

The farmer must maintain a rudimentary keep-alive with the node. This way we know if the farmer has gone offline, and that we should not issue more challenges.

GET /api/ping/<bitcoin address>

Success Example:

GET /api/ping/191GVvAaTRxLmz3rW3nU5jAV1rF186VxQc
RESPONSE:
   Status Code: 200
   Text: Ping accepted.

Fail Examples:

GET /api/ping/notvalidaddress
RESPONSE:
    Status Code: 400
    Text: Ping failed: Invalid Bitcoin address.

GET /api/ping/1EawBV7n7f2wDbgxJfNzo1eHyQ9Gj77oJd
RESPONSE:
    Status Code: 404
    Text: Ping Failed: Farmer not found.

Online Status

This API call was build to be human readable rather than machine readable. We get a simple list of the all the farmers, their addresses, their advertised height. We only display farmers that have done a ping in the last online_time minutes, which by default is 15 minutes.

GET /api/online

Success Example:

GET /api/online
RESPONSE:
    Status Code: 200
    Text:
