SDK Integration

import monerojs from 'monero-javascript';

const daemon = await monerojs.connectToDaemonRpc('https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/');

// Most methods are exposed directly on the daemon client. For raw access:
const result = await daemon.getDaemonConnection().sendJsonRequest('get_connections', {});
console.log(result);

from monero.backends.jsonrpc import JSONRPCDaemon
from monero.daemon import Daemon

backend = JSONRPCDaemon(host='go.getblock.io', port=443, path='/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/', protocol='https')
daemon = Daemon(backend)

# For methods covered by the typed API, use the daemon attribute directly.
# For raw RPC access:
result = backend.raw_request('get_connections', {})
print(result)
