In order to interact with a Tezos node, you may use RPC calls through the
|
||
|
|
client using this command ``tezos-client rpc call <url>``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For instance, if you wish to request the current balance of a given
|
||
|
|
block and contract, you can call the associated RPC via the command :
|
||
|
|
``$ tezos-client rpc call
|
||
|
|
/blocks/<block_id>/proto/context/contracts/<contract_id>/balance``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A RPC may takes an *input* and generates an *output* both in JSON
|
||
|
|
format. For example, the previous RPC call, that does not require an
|
||
|
|
input, would display on the standard output : ``{ "balance":
|
||
|
|
"4000000000000" }``. When calling a RPC that requires an input
|
||
|
|
through command-line, you will be prompted to provide the JSON input
|
||
|
|
in your default configured text editor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the following sections, you may find the complete list of RPCs
|
||
|
|
available for the client and for the protocol Alpha. You may also find
|
||
|
|
input, output and errors JSON schema.
