Blockchain connector is deprecated - please use Squeezer ChainKit

squeezer-blockchain-connector

Agnostic blockchain connector

The main scope for adding the connector is to unify all the current blockchains data assets into a single normalized API interface , therefore you can build blockchain apps easily without digging into all blockchain infrastructures

Basically the connector is only a client for the Squeezer Blockchain Gateway where actually all the magic happens.

Check the Squeezer Blockchain Gateway API Documentation:

Squeezer Blockchain Gateway - Test

Squeezer Blockchain Gateway - Production (in development)

Initialize

You will need a Squeezer access key in order to use the blockchain connector. You can get one here

const BlockchainConnector = require('squeezer-blockchain-connector');
const blockchainConnector = new BlockchainConnector(options); 

• options required
• options.accessKey - required Squeezer access key
• options.environment - required use test for sandbox or live for production

ITN ( Instant Transaction Notification )

The ITN system will notify your server when you receive a transaction and when a transaction status changes. This is a quick and useful way to integrate blockchain transactions processing.

Please check the Squeezer Blockchain Gateway API Documentation-> Configure ITN callback url

ITN JSON object:

{
  "from": "0xc03f7B9bddF8aeeBCbA2f818E5f873f71b85EB5c",
  "to": "0x903f7B9bddF8aeeBCbA2f818E5f873f71b85EB5c",
  "amount": "0.99999999",
  "type": "in",
  "currency": "ETH",
  "accessKeyHash": "accessKeyHash",
  "hash": "0xcf387e8d1a95bd3a5b54269aa0a228...",

  "createdAt": "2018-05-13 18:09:18",
  "updateAt": "2018-05-13 18:09:18"
}

NOTE: As a security measure please make sure that you validate accessKeyHash is the same at with your default access key

Validate accessKeyHash example:

if (accessKeyHash === crypto.createHmac('SHA256', accessKey).update(accessKey).digest('hex')) {
  console.log('valid access key hash') 
} else {
  console.log('invalid access key hash')
}
