# RPC Reference

The Lethean node exposes two RPC interfaces: a **daemon** API for blockchain queries and node control, and a **wallet** API for account management and transactions. Both use JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP.

- **Daemon RPC:** Port 36941 (mainnet), 46941 (testnet)
- **Wallet RPC:** User-configured port alongside the wallet process

## Go Client

The `rpc/` package provides a typed Go client:

```go
import "dappco.re/go/core/blockchain/rpc"

// Create a client (appends /json_rpc automatically)
client := rpc.NewClient("http://localhost:36941")

// Or with a custom HTTP client
client := rpc.NewClientWithHTTP("http://localhost:36941", &http.Client{
    Timeout: 60 * time.Second,
})
```

The client supports two transport modes:
- `call()` -- JSON-RPC 2.0 via `/json_rpc` (most endpoints)
- `legacyCall()` -- Plain JSON POST to dedicated URI paths (some endpoints registered via `MAP_URI_AUTO_JON2` in the C++ daemon)

All daemon responses include a `"status": "OK"` field. The client checks this and returns an error for non-OK values.

## Implemented Go Methods

### Node Information

```go
// Comprehensive daemon status
info, err := client.GetInfo()
// Returns: Height, TxCount, PowDifficulty, OutgoingConnectionsCount,
//          IncomingConnectionsCount, BlockReward, TotalCoins, ...

// Current blockchain height (legacy endpoint)
height, err := client.GetHeight()

// Block count
count, err := client.GetBlockCount()
```

### Block Queries

```go
// Most recent block header
header, err := client.GetLastBlockHeader()
// Returns: Height, Hash, Timestamp, MajorVersion, Difficulty, Reward, ...

// Block header by height
header, err := client.GetBlockHeaderByHeight(1000)

// Block header by hash
header, err := client.GetBlockHeaderByHash("ab3f...")

// Full block details (range)
blocks, err := client.GetBlocksDetails(0, 10)
// Returns: []BlockDetails with transactions, cumulative difficulty, etc.
```

### Transaction Queries

```go
// Detailed transaction info
txInfo, err := client.GetTxDetails("543b...")

// Fetch raw transactions by hash (legacy endpoint)
txsHex, missed, err := client.GetTransactions([]string{"ab3f...", "cd5e..."})
```

### Mining

```go
// Submit a mined block
err := client.SubmitBlock("hexblob...")
```

### Wallet Support

```go
// Fetch random decoy outputs for ring construction
outs, err := client.GetRandomOutputs(amount, 15)  // 15 decoys for HF4+

// Broadcast a signed transaction
err := client.SendRawTransaction(txBlob)
```

## Wire Format Notes

- **Daemon JSON-RPC:** Standard JSON-RPC 2.0 at `/json_rpc`. Method calls use `{"method": "getinfo", "params": {...}}`.
- **Wallet JSON-RPC:** Same format at `/json_rpc` on the wallet RPC port.
- **Binary endpoints:** Use epee portable storage serialisation, accessed via direct HTTP POST to the endpoint path.
- **P2P protocol:** Uses the Levin binary protocol (see [Networking](networking.md)), not JSON-RPC.
