==== Using Bitcoin Core's Programmatic Interface
|
||||
|

The +bitcoin-cli+ helper is very useful for exploring the Bitcoin Core API and testing functions. But the whole point of an application programming interface is to access functions programmatically. In this section we will demonstrate accessing Bitcoin Core from another program.

((("Bitcoin Core", "Bitcoin Core API", "using programmatic interface")))The +bitcoin-cli+ helper is very useful for exploring the Bitcoin Core API and testing functions.

Bitcoin Core's API is a JSON-RPC interface. JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation and it is a very convenient way to present data that both humans and programs can easily read. RPC stands for Remote Procedure Call, which means that we are calling procedures (functions) that are remote (on the Bitcoin Core node) via a network protocol. In this case, the network protocol is HTTP, or HTTPS (for encrypted connections).
