I am having a program designed that will pull data from the blockchain and use it for different aspects of a website, and I need to know what all of my options are for "data points" that can be accessed via the API. I am trying to figure out *exactly* what data is available that can be queried, and what format each "data point" takes (true / false, numerical, string, etc.). Make sense?
I will try to give an example of what this might look like. This is from my imagination (a non-programmer's perspective) so please bear with me:
- account_name: (string)
- member: (true / false)
- membership_expiration_date (number)
- registered_delegate: (true / false)
- currently_elected_delegate: (true/false)
- registered_witness: (true / false)
- currently_elected_witness: (true/false)
- registered_worker: (true / false)
- currently_elected_worker: (true / false)
- worker_payment_per_block: (number)
- vested_payment: (true / false)
- vesting_period: (number)
- total_payment_requested: (number)
- UIA_registered: (true_false)
- asset_symbol: (string)
- full_name: (string)
- current_supply: (number)
- reserve_fund: (number)
- creation_date: (number)
- burn_message: (string)
- account_ownership_transferred: (true / false)
- account_ownership_transfer_date: (number)
I'm sure that this data is not stored / expressed in the way that I have outlined above, but I just wanted to give an example of some of the "data points" that we need to access.
Does anyone know if there is a list somewhere that would explain how each piece of blockchain data is stored, and what it represents? Or perhaps how I would go about locating this information within the existing documentation?
EDIT: Perhaps I am way off base and have oversimplified how this works in my mind, so feel free to ELI5 :)

The API for the chain database is here... it will give you the calls / arguments that are available over websocket.

I started putting together some basic API stuff:
http://python-graphenelib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
if you are interfacing with the "cli_wallet" then you may also want to take a look at the available RPC calls here:

Thank you both, this is helpful

--delay-block-count --trusted-node
Are they hidden options? ./witness_node --help doesn't print these options.

Those are for the delayed_node .. a separate executable .. i foubd the parameters from the sources since they were not printed in the help

Thanks

@CryptoPrometheus, in case you aren't familiar with it; doxygen can produce a much more user-friendly html rendition of the source code documentation - just do
doxygen database_api.hpp (in this case) from it's directory and open the resulting html folder. This will show exactly what you are after (param/return types etc) for each command etc. and is much easier to read then the source docs markup ;)
