Up-to-date Monero's P2P and RPC in Go

go-monero

A multi-platform Go library for interacting with Monero servers either on clearnet or not, supporting daemon and wallet RPC, p2p commands and ZeroMQ.

Quick start

Library

To consume go-monero as a library for your Go project:

go get -u -v github.com/duggavo/go-monero

go-monero exposes an high-level package: rpc.

The package rpc, is used to communicate with monerod and monero-wallet-rpc via its HTTP endpoints. Note that not all endpoints/fields are exposed on a given port - if it's being served in a restricted manner, you'll have access to less endpoints than you see in the documentation (daemon RPC, )

rpc itself is subdivided in two other packages: wallet and daemon, exposing monero-wallet-rpc and monerod RPCs accordingly.

For instance, to get the the height of the main chain:

package daemon_test

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/duggavo/go-monero/rpc"
	"github.com/duggavo/go-monero/rpc/daemon"
)

func ExampleGetHeight() {
	ctx := context.Background()
	addr := "http://localhost:18081"

	// instantiate a generic RPC client
	client, err := rpc.NewClient(addr)
	if err != nil {
		panic(fmt.Errorf("new client for '%s': %w", addr, err))
	}

	// instantiate a daemon-specific client and call the `get_height`
	// remote procedure.
	height, err := daemon.NewClient(client).GetHeight(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		panic(fmt.Errorf("get height: %w", err))
	}

	fmt.Printf("height=%d hash=%s\n", height.Height, height.Hash)
}

And to get the height from monero-wallet-rpc:

package wallet_test

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/duggavo/go-monero/rpc"
	"github.com/duggavo/go-monero/rpc/wallet"
)

func ExampleGetHeight() {
	ctx := context.Background()
	addr := "http://localhost:18086"

	// instantiate a generic RPC client
	client, err := rpc.NewClient(addr)
	if err != nil {
		panic(fmt.Errorf("new client for '%s': %w", addr, err))
	}

	// instantiate a wallet-specific client and call the `get_height`
	// remote procedure.
	height, err := wallet.NewClient(client).GetHeight(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		panic(fmt.Errorf("get height: %w", err))
	}

	fmt.Printf("height=%d\n", height.Height)
}

Huge thanks to Ciro Costa for writing the original implementation!
