Fiber Network Node RPC

The RPC module provides a set of APIs for developers to interact with FNN. Please note that APIs are not stable yet and may change in the future.

Allowing arbitrary machines to access the JSON-RPC port (using the rpc.listening_addr configuration option) is dangerous and strongly discouraged. Please strictly limit the access to only trusted machines.

You may refer to the e2e test cases in the tests/bruno/e2e directory for examples of how to use the RPC.

We are in a actively developing stage, don't hesitate to report issues or ask for help in the channel of the Nervos dev community.

For example (pubkey, channel_outpoint, fee_rate, tlc_expiry_delta) suggest path router to use the channel of channel_outpoint at hop with pubkey to forward the payment and the fee rate is fee_rate and tlc_expiry_delta is tlc_expiry_delta.

Method get_payment

Retrieves a payment.

If the payment adapted MPP (multi-part payment), the routers will be a list of nodes. For example: A(amount, channel) -> B -> C -> D means A will send amount with channel to B.

Method build_router

A hop info is a tuple of pubkey and the channel(specified by channel funding tx) will be used. This is a strong restriction given on payment router, which means these specified hops and channels must be adapted in the router. This is different from hop hints, which maybe ignored by find path. If channel is not specified, find path algorithm will pick a channel within these two peers.

An error will be returned if there is no router could be build from given hops and channels

  • final_tlc_expiry_delta - Option<u64>, the TLC expiry delta should be used to set the timelock for the final hop, in milliseconds
Returns
  • router_hops - Vec<RouterHop>, The hops information for router

Method send_payment_with_router

Sends a payment to a peer with specified router. This method differs from SendPayment in that it allows users to specify a full route manually.

A typical use case is channel rebalancing: you can construct a circular route (your node -> intermediate nodes -> your node) to shift liquidity between your channels.

To rebalance, follow these steps:

  1. Call build_router with hops_info defining the circular route you want, e.g. your_node -> peer_A -> peer_B -> your_node.
  2. Call send_payment_with_router with the returned router_hops and keysend: true.

Only routing fees are deducted; your total balance across channels remains the same.

Params
  • payment_hash - Option<Hash256>, the hash to use within the payment's HTLC. If not set and keysend is set to true, a random hash will be generated. If not set and there is a payment_hash in the invoice, it will be used. Otherwise, payment_hash need to be set.
  • router - Vec<RouterHop>, The router to use for the payment
  • invoice - Option<String>, the encoded invoice to send to the recipient
  • custom_records - Option<PaymentCustomRecords>, Some custom records for the payment which contains a map of u32 to Vec The key is the record type, and the value is the serialized data. Limits: the sum size of values can not exceed 2048 bytes.

For example:

"custom_records": {
   "0x1": "0x01020304",
