GraphQL API server for NEXT Smart Chain powered blockchain network.
Please check the release tags to get more details and to download previous releases.
This version connects with the Orion protocol on the NEXT Smart Chain blockchain. The SFC contract ABI bundled with the API is version 3.3.0.
Persistent data are stored in a MongoDB database. Going through the installation and configuration process of MongoDB is out of scope here, please consult MongoDB manual to install and configure appropriate MongoDB environment for your deployment of the API server.
Building apiserver
requires a Go (version 1.13 or later). You can install
it using your favourite package manager. Once the dependencies are installed, run
make
The build output is build/apiserver
executable.
You don't need to clone the project into $GOPATH, due to use of Go Modules you can use any location.
To run the API Server you need access to a RPC interface of a full NEXT Smart Chain node. Alternatively you can obtain access to a remotely running instance of NEXT on rpc.nextsmartchain.com.
We recommend using local IPC channel for communication between a NEXT Smart Chain node and the API Server for performance and security reasons. Please consider security implications of opening NEXT RPC to outside access, especially if you enable "personal" commands on your node while keeping your account keys in the NEXT key store.
