Throttled Bitcoin RPC Client

This crate started as a fork of JeanDudey's Bitcoin RPC client, but has since been almost entirely rewritten.

This crate implements an Bitcoin RPC client in Rust, it does not intend to be a complete implementation of all the bitcoin rpc methods so if you need some method you can create a pull request for it.

AltCoins

Works with LTC and DOGE using relevant compiler flags.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
throttled_bitcoin_rpc = "0.1.0"

And this to your crate root:

extern crate throttled_bitcoin_rpc;

Example: Connecting to bitcoin rpc server

extern crate throttled_bitcoin_rpc;

use throttled_bitcoin_rpc::BitcoinRpcClient;

fn main() {
    let client = BitcoinRpcClient::new(
        "example.org:8331",
        Some("bitcoin".to_owned()),
        Some("local321".to_owned()),
        3, // max number of concurrent requests
        10, // max number of requests per second
        1000, // max size of batched requests
    );

    let block_count = match client.getblockcount().unwrap();

    println!("Block count: {}", block_count);
    
    let txs = vec![
        "02617e68e8c3e3fa8763502c0e701bf5af1e8f57835b9bef1ee333b0fcf2527",
        "969947e164bbfca77cb09eab343b192cb5605bfa0483b4d2a3ec626e55ad70bc",

    ];
    
    use throttled_bitcoin_rpc::BatchRequest;
    let mut batcher = client::batcher::<String>();
    
    for txid in txs {
        batcher.getrawtransaction(txid.to_owned(), false).unwrap();
    }
    
    println!("Raw TxData: {:?}", batcher.send().unwrap());
}
