Chia-Client-API

Thank you for considering using the Chia Client API for C#! Here is a brief overview of what you can expect to find in this repository:

Description

This repository contains a C# wrapper for the Chia blockchain API. It allows you to easily interact with the Chia blockchain from your C# applications.

This library is also available on NuGet. You can find it by searching for "ChiaClientAPI" in the NuGet Package Manager or by using the following command in the Package Manager Console:

Install-Package Chia-Client-API

Features

A simple, easy-to-use interface for accessing the Chia API Support for all API endpoints, including those for managing accounts, sending and receiving transactions, and querying the blockchain Detailed documentation for each API endpoint, including descriptions of input and output parameters

Requirements

.NET 6 or higher

Installation

To install this library from the repository, simply clone the repository and open the solution file in Visual Studio. You can then build the solution and reference the compiled library in your own C# projects.

Alternatively, you can install the library from NuGet as described above.

Usage

Note: Per default, chia rpc will only listen to requests from the local machine.
If you have remote machines to manage, eg a full node or farmers, you need to enable public port listening.
For that, edit the chia configuration (default at ~/.chia/mainnet/config/config.yaml).
Look for a line starting with self-hostname like so: self_hostname: &self_hostname "localhost"
change it to: self_hostname: 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces or to the local interface ip to listen on a specific interface.

To use the Chia Client API in your C# applications, you will need to create an instance of the ChiaClient class and pass in your API key:

using ChiaClientAPI;

var client = new ChiaClient("your_api_key");

You can then call any of the API endpoints by calling the corresponding method on the client object. For example, to get the balance of an account, you can use the GetBalance method:

var balance = client.GetBalance("your_account_id");
Console.WriteLine(balance);

Refer to the documentation for specific usage instructions for each API endpoint.
