The HTTP Client-Server API

When you start Bigchaindb using bigchaindb start, an HTTP API is exposed at:

• http://localhost:9984/api/v1/

Please note that by default the server binds to 0.0.0.0:9984, hence the API is exposed to the world.

The HTTP API currently exposes two endpoints, one to get information about a specific transaction id, and one to push a transaction to the BigchainDB cluster. Those endpoints are documented at:
