Introduction

The BeeFrog.Iota.API implements [IOTA IRI api calls]. It also can do the proof of work for you. Currently supporting 1.3.0 of the API spec and working successfully with IRI 1.4.2.1

TODO

Code Tidy up and restructure.
Replace exceptions from API calls with a result object + return any errors.
Add GPU Proof of Work. (This may take some time and may find end up in a separate library.)

Technologies

The BeeFrog.Iota.API is written for .NET Standard 1.1 framework. It can be used in .net 4.5 and .net core 1.0 as well. For full .net frameworks support visit .NET Standard 1.1 Thanks to Borlay who create the base for which this API is built upon.

Nuget

Install-Package BeeFrog.Iota.API

BeeFrog.Iota.API nuget

Getting started

Get the address with the balance and the transactions hashes

var api = new IotaApi("http://node.iotawallet.info:14265", 15);
var address = await api.GetAddress("YOURSEED", 0);

// use address
var balance = address.Balance;
var transactionHashes = address.Transactions;

Renew your addresses

api.RenewBalances(address); // gets the balances
api.RenewTransactions(address); // gets the transactions hashes
api.RenewAddresses(address); // both

You can send empty transaction simply by doing this

var transfer = new TransferItem()
{
  Address = "ADDRESS",
  Value = 0,
  Message = "MESSAGETEST",
  Tag = "TAGTEST"
};
var transactionItem = await api.SendTransfer(transfer, CancellationToken.None);

Or you can send the transaction with the value

var transfer = new TransferItem()
{
  Address = "ADDRESS",
  Value = 1000,
  Message = "MESSAGETEST",
  Tag = "TAGTEST"
};
var transactionItem = await api.SendTransfer(transfer, "YOURSEED", 0, CancellationToken.None);

By default the pow will run on local pc but you can change to run it on iri

api.NonceSeeker = api.IriApi;

POW

You can do the pow (attachToTangle) like this

var transactionTrytes = transfer.CreateTransactions().GetTrytes(); // gets transactions from transfer and then trytes
var toApprove = await api.IriApi.GetTransactionsToApprove(9); // gets transactions to approve
var trunk = toApprove.TrunkTransaction;
var branch = toApprove.BranchTransaction;

var trytesToSend = await transactionTrytes
                .DoPow(trunk, branch, 15, 0, CancellationToken.None); // do the pow
await api.BroadcastAndStore(trytesToSend); // broadcast and send the trytes

More examples

Working examples can be found in the Examples folder. These include:

• Address Creation
• Sending a zero value transaction.
• Sending multiple transactions in a bundle.
• Transaction promotion / re-attachment.
