gRPC API for client-to-node and node-to-node requests.
Optionally, you can install grpcurl, a command-line utility for convenient
curl-like interaction with a gRPC server. It requires Go.
sudo apt install golang-go
go get github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl
go install github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl/cmd/grpcurl
You may need to add these binaries to your path; for example, by adding these lines to your .bashrc file:
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin
In order to use grpcurl, you must generate a .protoset file describing the service:
protoc --proto_path=./consensus/api/proto/ --proto_path=./api/proto/ --descriptor_set_out=consensus_common.protoset --include_imports ./consensus/api/proto/consensus_common.proto
Try it out with:
grpcurl -protoset ./consensus_common.protoset node1.test.mobilecoin.com:443 consensus_common.BlockchainAPI.GetLastBlockInfo
