The HTTP Client-Server API

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

http://localhost:5000/api/v1/

Right now, that API can only be accessed from localhost (i.e. not remotely). In the future, we'll enable remote access and explain how that works. See Issue #149 on GitHub.

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:
