Turtlecoind¶

This document shows how to use the TurtleCoind JSON-RPC API.

Running Turtlecoind¶

Before you start using the Python integration, make sure that you are running TurtleCoind with the enable_blockexplorer argument set:

./TurtleCoind --enable_blockexplorer

After starting it make sure the blockchain is synchronized. This might take a while. The console log will show a message when it’s done:

Successfully synchronized with the TurtleCoin Network

The python integration can now be used.

For all available methods see the full API documentation.

To print the current block-height:

from turtlecoin import Turtlecoind

turtle = TurtleCoind()
turtle.getblockcount()['count']
