How to acces Your Blockdaemon Litecoin Credentials

Once you have purchased your Blockdaemon Litecoin infrastructure, you can access your credentials:

1. 1. Log into the Blockdaemon app.
   2. In the Blockchain Access menu, click Nodes.
   3. Click the Litecoin node.
   4. Click the Connect tab.

In the Connection Information area, you’ll find the following:

• • Your Endpoint URL
  • Your Auth Token

How to Connect to Litecoin HTTP RPC Connection via cURL

Here’s how you add your access credentials to a cURL request:

curl -X POST 'YOUR_ENDPOINT_URL' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'X-Auth-Token: YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN' --data-raw '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"YOUR_RPC_METHOD","params":YOUR_PARAMS}'

• Replace YOUR_ENDPOINT_URL with the Endpoint URL found in the Blockdaemon app.
• Replace YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN with the Auth Token found in the Blockdaemon app.
• Replace YOUR_PARAMS with the necessary params for your RPC.
• Replace YOUR_RPC_METHOD with your chosen RPC method.

Litecoin RPC Connection via Python

The following describes how to run a simple Python application that prints the current best block.

1. Install the Python library python-litecoinrpc. You’ll be using this library to communicate with the RPC interface.

   nput type="text" value="pip3 install python-litecoinrpc" readonly="true"
   .field

2. Copy the following Python program into a file called litecoin_rpc.py

   pre.prettyprint
   
   import pprint from bitcoinrpc.authproxy import AuthServiceProxy, JSONRPCException
   rpc_user = "blockdaemon"
   rpc_password = "blockdaemon"
   rpc_connection = AuthServiceProxy("URL from APP/connect page" .format(rpc_user, rpc_password))
   best_block_hash = rpc_connection.getbestblockhash()
   best_block = rpc_connection.getblock(best_block_hash)
   pprint.pprint(best_block)

3. Run the Python script

   python3 litecoin_rpc.py
