The XRPL Meta Node

This is a Javascript implementation of the XRPL Meta project.

XRPL Meta provides the data that is not obtainable by the standard rippled API. It makes the data available through a JSON REST and WebSocket API, just like rippled. It connects to any number of rippled nodes and tracks updates in real time. Historical data is being backfilled.

Technical Overview

On the first launch, the server will create its SQLite database files in the config specified data directory. It will then create a full snapshot of the most recent ledger. From there on, it will sync itself with the live transaction stream, and backfill ledger history simultaneously.

API Documentation

The node will listen for incoming HTTP connections on the port specified in the config file. These can either serve a REST query, or be upgraded to a WebSocket connection.

Requirements

• Node.js version +14
• An internet connection
