I wanna play around with wallet API. To install I followed the instruction from 'github.com/BitShares/web_wallet' and I cannot find this directory '/bitshares_toolkit/programs/client/RelWithDebInfo' (the folder 'RelWithDebInfo' doesn't exist in my bitshares toolkit insalled in my machine using these instructions). Does anyone have any idea if the folder is changed (if I am doing right)? Or, may anyone give me any idea how to access the wallet API? I'll appreciate your help!

I'm not sure what you mean by wallet API. The web_wallet is simply the html/javascript code for the wallet, you can use it to run a wallet as a web server on your local machine. The RPC API of the wallet is run from the client, by launching it with:
bitshares_client --server
You'll need to setup the config.json file in the .Bitshares folder in order to set the password and login name.
If you explain what you're trying to more precisely we can probably help you better.

An example for the use of the RPC interface with python:

Ok, I'll try to explain. I wanna show for example any data from my bitshares wallet in my app. To do this, is there any public API or I have to install the bitshares tookit?

These guys are creating a "public" API for their mobile wallet: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=11902.0

maybe someday bitsharesblocks.com will have a documented API

I've followed the instructions form Bitshares GUI (web wallet). I wanna start a client and access the RCP json. My config file looks like this:
"rpc": {
"enable": true,
"rpc_user": "test",
"rpc_password": "test",
"rpc_endpoint": "127.0.0.1:0",
"httpd_endpoint": "127.0.0.1:0",
"htdocs": "./htdocs"
}
and so on.
I start the client with this command: ./bitshares_client --server / --rpcuser=test --rpcpassword=test / --httpdendpoint=127.0.0.1:5000.
And I get this result at console:
Loading blockchain from: /home/ekrem/.BitShares/chain
Loading config from file: /home/ekrem/.BitShares/config.json

When I go to localhost:5000, it show me a dialog windows that requires username and password (A username and password are beeing required by localhost:5000. This site says "bts wallet"). I've wrote username: test and password: test, like in my config.json file and the command I started bitshares_client, and the result I've get is "Invalid RPC Request".
Does anyone have the idea how to solve this?
-
You nees to post a request .. you cannot just load the page in the browser... search the forum for "curl" to find a working example
-
You CAN just load the page in a browser, if you're trying to access the wallet GUI. In that case you need to make "htdocs" point to "web_wallet/generated" after you run "lineman build".
If you're trying to do direct API access then you need to POST to /rpc
-
I think you helped me. I tried with curl and I get result. But do you have any simple example with angular.js ore node.js how to access directly ? It would help me too much

I've tried some examples accessing bitshres_client started at port 5000 for example, but now it looks I have problems with cross origin allowed. Does anyone have any idea ?

Looks like you are using JS to access bitshares_client. Take a look at https://github.com/BitShares/web_wallet - it's a good example of JS application communticating with with the wallet.
