Catapult REST gateway combines HTTP and WebSockets to perform read and write actions on the blockchain.
- NodeJS version 12
- yarn dependency manager
- catapult-server configured as an API node.
- MongoDb 4.2
Make sure you choose a version compatible with the catapult-server node you want to use it with.
Version number is described as follows:
v1.X.Y.Z
- The first numer is symbolic for pre-release and should not be taken into consideration.
- X: This serves to lock for compatibility with
catapult-server
, thus it is safe to update by keeping this number without REST losing server compatibility. Additionally, any breaking change to the server should require to upgrade this number. - Y: This serves to lock on safe updates to this project, thus it is safe to update by keeping this number without worrying about introducing breaking changes.
- Z: Represents minor changes progress, used to identify specific versions when reporting bugs, or to get extensions to the code.

Parameter | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
db.url | MongoDB connection URL. | mongodb://localhost:27017/ |
apiNode.host | API node connection host. | 127.0.0.1 |
apiNode.port | API node connection port. | 7900 |
apiNode.tlsClientCertificatePath | API node TLS client certificate path. | /api-node-config/cert/node.crt.pem |
apiNode.tlsClientKeyPath | API node TLS client key certificate path. | /api-node-config/cert/node.key.pem |

Note: catapult-rest has to reach the API node, ZeroMQ and MongoDB ports. If you are running catapult-server on a VPS, you can bind the ports to your local development environment creating an SSH tunnel:
ssh -L 27017:localhost:27017 -L 7900:localhost:7900 -L 7902:localhost:7902 -p 2357 <USER>@<VPS_IP>
- Install the project's dependencies:
./yarn_setup.sh
- Run catapult-rest:
cd rest
yarn build
yarn start resources/rest.json
