Post by: XsharesO on November 21, 2014, 02:34:26 pm

Can I connect to some bitshares api? When I run bitshares, does it open some port I can send RPC to?

not automatically .. If you run the CLI version there is a --rpcport --rpcuser --rpcpasswd which you can use .. in the gui you may be able to enable the RPC via some command in the console too ..

Take a look at this

to see who you can work with it in python

The GUI is completely powered by a local API but the PORT, USER, and PASSWORD are randomly generated every time you launch the client.
