Title: RPC connection step by step
Post by: Jansky on May 30, 2015, 10:26:39 pm

I'm trying to connect to the RPC of a bitshares instance over localhost.  how is this done exactly?  My goal is to use some java code to download all the live bids and asks for all assets.

Good morning Jansky (I'm in Munich), I have forwarded your question to a couple of the Devs as this one is over my head.
Hang in there, help is on the way.

I cant tell you much about how its done in java .. but in my github repo theres is a python-bitsharesrpc project that does what you want via python ..

It shouldnt be too difficult to write rpc code for bitshares in java ... it is very similar to how it is done in bitcoin

Take a look at my c# RPC API, it's a very similar language to java, so should be easy to convert:
