sample for json rpc

Question

hello,

can someone pls provide a sample to use the json-rpc thro http, a curl would be best, i am not sure whats the http port and where to find it in the configuration file

for eg, I am hoping there is some thing like

> curl -v <host>:<port>/<path> -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"method":"getinfo"}'

but i am not sure about what the default values are,

Thanks

First, please see this example for how to communicate with Bitcoin Core using curl:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/API_reference_(JSON-RPC)#Command_line_.28cURL.29

MultiChain's API is backwards compatible with bitcoin's so this will be a good starting point.

The JSON-RPC port is configurable whenever you run multichaind, but its default value is set by default-rpc-port in the blockchain parameters.

Thank you!, the default-rpc-port in my case was 2888
