The API is organized into functional categories, each accessible via endpoints under the `/anne` path. Applications communicate with the local ANNODE, which handles network interaction. Queries hit the in-memory hypergraph, data submission creates relons that propagate through consensus, and files are retrieved via parallel swarming from multiple peers.
The API documentation is available at http://localhost:9116/api-doc once your ANNODE is up and running. Existing applications can be found at http://localhost:9116/ANNE.html and http://localhost:9116/aon.html, serving a blueprint for building decentralized ecosystem.
Key endpoint categories include:
- ANNE Hypergraph: Query and traverse the neuromorphic hypergraph. Endpoints like getAllMyStuff, queryForInstChildren, getNeuron, and lookupNid provide access to semantic data.
- Create Transaction: Build and submit relons and payments. sendSelfRelon, sendChildRelon, makeKeylessNeuron, and sendAnne generate unsigned transactions for local signing.
- Accounts and Balances: Retrieve account information, balances, and transaction history.
- Blocks and Transactions: Query blockchain data, including blocks, transactions, and mempool status.
- ANTOR: Manage file transfers, monitor active transfers, and serve files.
- ALTDATA: Publish and retrieve application-specific payloads via the Alt Data Network.
- A2A - Annode to annode encrypted peer-to-peer messaging.
- Localhost only: Administrative endpoints that require local access and appropriate configuration flags.
- Debug and Utils: Tools for development and troubleshooting, including signed/unsigned conversion and clock inspection.
