With HTTP API you can get the number of hashes solved for a user account on your website, withdraw hashes, verify tokens.
Using this API requires a secret key (see Dashboard > Keys). This key should be kept secret and should never be exposed to your users. The HTTP API should only ever be called from the server side, i.e. from PHP, NodeJS, Ruby, Python scripts running on your own server.
Note: you should never call the HTTP API from the client side.
Your secret key can be passed with each API call as a GET parameter.
The API returns a JSON encoded object for each request. All responses contain a status property. In case success is false, an error property will be present, describing why the operation failed.
We have pretty simple but very useful PHP library to make API calls, you can download ithere.
All api calls are going with specific rules:
https://webminepool.com/api/{secret_key}/{method_name}/{method_param_1}/{?method_param_2}/set_token/{hashes_amount}/{?username}https://webminepool.com/api/{secret_key}/set_token/{hashes_amount}/{?username}Method creates a token with a goal needed to achieve by user or whole account. This can be useful if you want to reward your users for certain actions. Can be checked by /get_token/{token_id}/{?unset}
| secret_key | Your secret key, can check here on Dashboard > Keys |
| hashes_amount | The number of hashes this token must have reached in order to be valid. |
| username | *optional if you want to create token for certain user, otherwise token will be created for you api_key, like a goal to achieve |
{
"success": true|false, //was creation successfull or error ocured
"token_id": string, //token ID to access token for verification
"message": string // optional, will present in responce if status will be "error"
}/get_token/{token_id}/{?unset}https://webminepool.com/api/{secret_key}/get_token/{token_id}/{?unset}Method gets a token to check it. In case if token were verified by system (goal was reached) you'll get "status": 1 in response. Otherwice status will return 0. Can be seted up by /set_token/{hashes_amount}/{?username}
| secret_key | Your secret key, can check here on Dashboard > Keys |
| token_id | You can get it when creating token by /set_token/{hashes_amount}/{?username} |
| unset | *Optional. Trigger to delete token (as well as user) right after verification to avoid doublepassing. Very useful using captcha like actions. |
{
"success":true, //was getting successfull or error ocured
"state": 0|1, //1 if token verified and 0 if not
"end_hashes": number, //number of last hash needed to reach by user(account). It's sum of his hashes (on the moment of token creating) and needed hashes seted up with /set_token/
"done_at": //info about time token were updated with a timezone (creation time if unverified or verification time if verified)
{
"date":string,
"timezone_type":number,
"timezone":string
}
}/users/https://webminepool.com/api/{secret_key}/users/Method gets a list of users with their balances.
| secret_key | Your secret key, can check here on Dashboard > Keys |
{
"success":true|false, //was request successfull or not
"users": //list of users
[
{
"api_key":string, //public site_key this user connected to
"name":string, //username
"hashes":number //hashes balance
},
{
"api_key":string, //public site_key this user connected to
"name":string, //username
"hashes":number //hashes balance
}
]
}Note: this function returns only users who mined within last 3 days (to avoid overwhelming if you have a lot of inactive users).
/create_user/{username}/{?referral}https://webminepool.com/api/{secret_key}/create_user/{username}/{?referral}
