Decode QR Code
Decodes a base64-encoded jpeg to a UTF-8 string. POST only.
Request:
requestType is decodeQRCode
qrCodeBase64 is a base64-encoded jpeg string to be decoded
Response
qrCodeData (S) is a UTF-8 string containing the decoded data from the base64 string
requestProcessingTime (N) is the API request processing time (in millisec)
Example: Refer to Decode QR Code example.
Detect Mime Type
Gets the mime type of uploaded file or data.
Request:
requestType is detectMimeType
data is the data (optional)
file is the pathname of a data file to upload (optional if data provided)
filename is a filename to associate with data (optional if file uploaded in which case the uploaded filename is always used)
isText is false if data is a hex string (optional)
Response
type (S) is the mime type
requestProcessingTime (N) is the API request processing time (in millisec)
Example: Refer to Detect Mime Type example.
Encode QR Code
Encodes a UTF-8 string to a base64-encoded jpeg. POST only.
Request:
requestType is encodeQRCode
qrCodeData is a UTF-8 text string to be encoded
width is the width of the output image (optional)
height is the height of the output image (optional)
Response
qrCodeBase64 (S) is a base64 string encoding a jpeg image of the QR code
requestProcessingTime (N) is the API request processing time (in millisec)
Example: Refer to Encode QR Code example.
Full Hash To Id
Converts a full hash to an ID.
Request:
requestType is fullHashToId
fullHash is the full hash 64-digit (32-byte) hex string
Response:
stringId (S) is the ID corresponding to the hash, in the form of an decimal string
longId (S) is the signed long integer (8-bytes) representation of the ID used internally, returned as a string
requestProcessingTime (N) is the API request processing time (in millisec)
Example: Refer to Full Hash To Id example.
Hash
Calculates the hash of a secret for use in phased transactions with voting model 5 (Vote By Secret).
Request:
requestType is hash
hashAlgorithm is the hash function used: 2 for SHA256, 3 for SHA3, 5 for SCRYPT, 6 for RIPEMD160, 25 for Keccack25 and 62 for SHA256 followed by RIPEMD160, according to Get Constants​
secret is a secret phrase in text form or hex string form
secretIsText is true if secret is text, false if it is a hex string (optional)
Note: secret is converted from a hex string to a byte array, which is what the hash algorithm expects, unless secretIsText is true, in which case secret is first converted from text to a UTF-8 hex string as by Hex Convert.
Response:
hash (S) is the hash of the secret, in the form of a hex string
requestProcessingTime (N) is the API request processing time (in millisec)
Example: Refer to Hash example.
Hex Convert
Converts a text string into a UTF-8 hex string and if the text input is already a hex string, also into text.
Request:
requestType is hexConvert
string is a text string, possibly a hex string
Response:
binary (S) is the converted UTF-8 hex string
text (S) is a text string converted from string if it is a valid UTF-8 hex string
requestProcessingTime (N) is the API request processing time (in millisec)
Example: Refer to Hex Convert example.
Long Convert
Converts an ID to the signed long integer representation used internally.
Request:
requestType is longConvert
id is a numerical ID, in decimal form but equivalent to an 8-byte unsigned integer as produced by SHA-256 hashing
Response:
stringId (S) is the numerical ID
longId (S) is the signed long integer (8-bytes) representation of the ID used internally, returned as a string
requestProcessingTime (N) is the API request processing time (in millisec)
Note: Java does not support unsigned integers, so any unsigned ID (such as a block ID) visible in the NRS client is represented internally as a signed integer.
Example: Refer to Long Convert example.
RS Convert
Get both the Reed-Solomon account address and the account number given an account ID.
Request:
requestType is rsConvert
account is an account ID (either RS address or number)
Response:
accountRS (S) is the Reed-Solomon address of the account
requestProcessingTime (N) is the API request processing time (in millisec)
account (S) is the account number
Example: Refer to RS Convert example.
