#Create a new account
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method": "getnewaddress"}' rpcuser:rpcpassword@ip:port
Or, you can specify account and get this address assigned to new address
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method": "getnewaddress", "params": ["billy"]}' rpcuser:rpcpassword@ip:port
Where 'billy' is your account name. You can check that your account was created properly:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method": "getaddressesbyaccount", "params": ["billy"]}' rpcuser:rpcpassword@ip:port
#General Blockchain info
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method": "getinfo"}' rpcuser:rpcpassword@ip:port
#Account info
To get account by address:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method": "getaccount", "params": ["bchtest:qpkgrpazps220qtnzvlvlcm62urtnq0edv7ufjr95n"]}' rpcuser:rpcpassword@ip:port
To get addresses associated with account:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method": "getaddressesbyaccount", "params": ["billy"]}' rpcuser:rpcpassword@ip:port
To get account balance:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method": "getbalance", "params": ["billy"]}' rpcuser:rpcpassword@ip:port
#Extract private key
To extract a private key of an address, run:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method": "dumpprivkey", "params": ["*address*"]}' rpcuser:rpcpassword@ip:port
#Backup
To back up the node, dump the wallet into a file of choice:
curl --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id": "curltest", "method": "dumpwallet", "params": ["*filename*"]}' -H 'content-type: text/plain; rpcuser:rpcpassword@ip:port'
Afterwards, upload the resulting file to a secure Object Storage bucket(AWS S3, GCS, etc.)
To restore the data later, upload the backup to the cryptonode instance and pass the resulting filename to the importwallet RPC call:
curl --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id": "curltest", "method": "importwallet", "params": ["*filename*"]}' -H 'content-type: text/plain; rpcuser:rpcpassword@ip:port'
