Copied!
Usage
Ways to initiate WebSocket client:
1
const obyte = require('obyte');
2
3
// Connect to mainnet official node 'wss://obyte.org/bb'
4
const client = new obyte.Client();
5
6
// Connect to a custom node
7
const client = new obyte.Client('wss://relay.bytes.cash/bb');
8
9
// Connect to testnet
10
const options = { testnet: true };
11
const client = new obyte.Client('wss://obyte.org/bb-test', options);
Copied!
Close the client:
1
client.close();
Copied!
All API methods follow this pattern:
1
// If the last argument is a function it is treated as a callback
2
client.api.getJoint('oj8yEksX9Ubq7lLc+p6F2uyHUuynugeVq4+ikT67X6E=', function(err, result) {
3
if (err) return console.error(err);
4
console.log(result);
5
});
6
7
// If a callback is not provided, a Promise is returned
8
client.api.getJoint('oj8yEksX9Ubq7lLc+p6F2uyHUuynugeVq4+ikT67X6E=')
9
.then(function(result) {
10
console.log(result);
11
})
12
.catch(function(err) {
13
console.error(err);
14
});

Transaction
To compose and post unit you need first to create a Obyte wallet and fund it with the native currency ‘bytes’. The generated WIF will be used on Obyte.js. Click on the link below to learn more:
Sending a payment:
1
const wif = '5JBFvTeSY5...'; // WIF string generated (private key)
2
3
const params = {
4
outputs: [
5
{
6
address: 'NX2BTV43XN6BOTCYZUUFU6TK7DVOC4LU', // The Obyte address of the recipient
7
amount: 1000 // The amount he receives
8
}
9
]
10
};
11
12
client.post.payment(params, wif, function(err, result) {
13
if (err) return console.error(err);
14
console.log(result); // The unit hash is returned
15
});
