REST API Overview
Sirius Chain REST API combines HTTP and Web Sockets to perform read and write actions in the Sirius Chain.
Requests
Sirius Chain REST uses port 3000. It accepts both HTTP GET, PUT and POST requests.
Assuming that Sirius Chain REST is running locally, HTTP GET requests can be executed from a browser and have the form:
http://localhost:3000/<path-to-API-request>
HTTP PUT and POST requests use JSON structures in the request body. Request returns data (if any is returned) using JSON structures. This request cannot usually be executed from within the browser unless you use a plugin which enables you to do it.
