Please consult the BitcoinArmory project for the new daemon.
This repository is kept as a reference for the purposes of the original author.
BitcoinArmory-Daemon provides a JSON-RPC interface to Armory which is suitable for use on webservers and other instances where a GUI is not desired.
- Install dependencies, including armory dependencies (see below).
- Download and extract the files.
- Copy your watch-only wallet to the same directory as you extracted the source.
Ensure bitcoind is running.
Start the bitcoind-daemon json-rpc server
$ python armory-daemon.py
Run this command from the directory the source was extracted to.
Now any client can access through jsonrpc. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/API_reference_(JSON-RPC) for examples of how to run a json-rpc client.
The default port for the rpc server is 7070, and can be changed in armory-daemon.py
getbalance()
Returns a decimal value in BTC for the total remaining balance in the wallet.
getnewaddress()
Returns the next address in the wallet as a string.
getreceivedbyaddress(address)
Returns a decimal value in BTC for the amount received by the address.
sendtoaddress(address, amount)
amount is a decimal value in BTC. Returns an unsigned transaction as a string. Implementation of signing and broadcasting is left to the client.
The usual armory dependencies still apply, in addition to
txjson-rpc
$ sudo pip install txJSON-RPC
